About Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics
Retainer repairs continue for years after braces come off, and Dr. Mark Wierenga's team often treats several siblings from the same family over time.
Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics draws many families who bring multiple children through treatment over the years, with retainer replacements and repairs handled well beyond the original braces removal. Dr. Mark Wierenga and Dr. David Armbrecht are described as detail-oriented and willing to go beyond a normal appointment, including one account of a doctor meeting a family at a closed office on a Sunday to fix broken braces. Anxious or nervous patients, including some with special needs, are noted as handled with particular patience, and the office is described as clean and modern.

We've had a great experience here so far. My kiddo needed a LOT of work, and they've been confident and had a plan all the way through, he's about 2/3 done at time of posting. Appointments are quick, doctors always readily available and able to answer any questions.

Years ago I got braces here. More recently I lost my retainer and wanted to get it replaced. When I came back in with my 3 month old son to get fitted for it, one of the dentists told me that I could have a replacement for free as a baby shower gift! His act of kindness reminded me that I had a great experience years ago too and I wanted to leave a review to share that. Highly recommend!

When a business has great staff all around, I know I am in the right place. Jessica, who works at the front desk, and additionally has clinical experience, has been exceptionally helpful during ortho treatment. We’ve appreciated this offices expertise, humor, and relatability during treatment. Dr. Mark has been a fantastic orthodontist. Highly recommend this office as each person on staff has given top notch care to us.

We absolutely love this office and recommend them to everyone! We have three kids who have either completed treatment or are currently in treatment, and each one came in with different alignment needs and unique personalities. The entire team has provided exceptional care, kindness, and individualized attention every step of the way. We couldn't be happier with the results. Every doctor, assistant, and member of the office staff has been amazing, professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. They go out of their way to make patients and parents feel comfortable and supported. This is honestly the only medical office I never feel anxious about calling. Everyone is warm, welcoming, and understanding, no matter the reason for the call. They truly set the gold standard for patient care and customer service. We are so grateful for this team!
