The practice is led by Dr. Lathe Miller, a highly skilled and dedicated orthodontist with extensive experience in the field. Dr. Miller is passionate about helping patients achieve confident and healthy smiles, stemming from his own childhood experience with orthodontic treatment. He actively pursues continuing education, exceeding the minimum requirements each year to stay abreast of the latest advancements, techniques, and technologies in orthodontics. Miller Orthodontics offers a comprehensive array of orthodontic treatment options for patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. Their services include: Metal Braces: The traditional and highly effective option for correcting various alignment issues. Ceramic (Clear) Braces: A more discreet alternative to metal braces, utilizing clear or tooth-colored brackets. Lingual Braces: Placed on the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. Customized Clear Braces (LightForce): These are the world's only 3D-printed braces, custom-made for each patient's unique teeth and treatment plan, potentially leading to faster treatment times and fewer adjustments. Self-Ligating Braces: Similar to traditional braces but using a specialized clip instead of elastic ties, often resulting in less friction and potentially fewer adjustment appointments. Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A popular and discreet option using a series of custom-made, removable clear trays to gradually straighten teeth. Miller Orthodontics is recognized as an Invisalign® Elite Provider, indicating a high level of experience and skill with this treatment. Beyond these core treatments, the clinic also provides: Orthodontics for Adults: Recognizing that it's never too late to improve one's smile, they offer solutions tailored to adult needs. Phase 1 and Phase 2 Orthodontics: Interceptive treatment for children to address developmental issues early on, followed by comprehensive treatment if needed. Palatal Expanders: Devices used to widen the upper jaw, particularly in growing children. Retention Phase: Custom-made retainers are provided after treatment to maintain the achieved results. Miller Orthodontics emphasizes a patient-centered approach, aiming to make each visit as pleasant and comfortable as possible. They utilize advanced technology, such as the iTero® digital scanner, to create precise 3D images of the mouth, eliminating messy traditional impressions and improving treatment planning accuracy. Dr. Miller is also actively involved in professional organizations like the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, and Michigan Dental Association, and he volunteers on the Cleft Lip and Palate Team at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, demonstrating his commitment to the broader community. The clinic prides itself on personalized care and a warm, welcoming environment.
