With over two decades of experience serving the Johns Creek community and surrounding areas including Duluth, Alpharetta, Suwanee, Cumming, Norcross, Roswell, and Milton, the practice has built a strong reputation for providing high-quality, customized orthodontic care for patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults. The philosophy at Ricci Orthodontics centers on a patient-first approach, emphasizing personalized treatment plans and a comfortable, even spa-like, office environment. They aim to make the orthodontic journey a positive and efficient experience, utilizing state-of-the-art technology such as digital X-rays, cold laser therapy, TADS (Temporary Anchorage Devices), and self-ligating braces. The practice is also committed to efficiency, boasting a paperless office and in-house software to monitor and reduce patient wait times for adjustments. Ricci Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services to address various dental alignment and bite issues. These include: Traditional Metal Braces: A highly effective and time-tested method for correcting a wide range of orthodontic problems, from gaps and crowding to complex bite issues. Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces): A more aesthetic alternative to metal braces, utilizing clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend with the natural tooth color, preferred by many adults and teens. Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A popular, discreet option for straightening teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligner trays that are removable for eating, brushing, and flossing. They offer options for both adults and teens. Lingual (Incognito™) Braces: These custom-fitted braces are placed on the back surface of the teeth, making them completely hidden from view. Wilckodontics Accelerated Braces: A specialized technique aimed at reducing treatment time by demineralizing the surrounding bone, allowing teeth to move faster. TruDenta®: An FDA-cleared system for treating orofacial disorders, including chronic head pain, migraines, sleep apnea, neck pain, tinnitus, and vertigo, addressing issues beyond just tooth alignment. Retainers: Essential post-treatment appliances (clear, Hawley, or permanent) to maintain the achieved results and prevent teeth from shifting back. Two-Phase Orthodontics: Early intervention for younger patients to address abnormal jaw growth and guide the eruption of permanent teeth, potentially reducing the need for extractions later. Beyond the clinical offerings, Ricci Orthodontics strives to create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere. They are known for their friendly and professional team, who are dedicated to making patients feel comfortable and well-informed. The practice also incorporates fun elements like regular office contests and appreciation prizes for referrals, fostering a positive community feel. Dr. Steven Ricci himself is highly regarded by patients for his attention to detail, impeccable "bedside manner," and commitment to providing personalized care. He is also actively involved in leading dental and orthodontic organizations, including a past presidency of the Georgia Association of Orthodontists, and continuously pursues advanced continuing education to stay abreast of the latest advancements in the field. Flexible financial arrangements, including in-house financing, are available to make treatment accessible.
