What is "The Graf Smile"?
The Graf Smile is our philosophy of creating smiles that are uniquely yours. Over 30 years of treatment, Dr. Brian Graf developed a custom and unique bracket prescription that predictably treats to a result of prominent, broad, and well-positioned front teeth.
That custom prescription, along with countless other clinical tricks and finishing details, has led to a unique and highly desired finished result that is distinct to a Graf Smile.
The Pillars of a Graf Smile
Custom Tooth Position
We focus on prominent, broad, well-positioned front teeth and a smile that fills the corners naturally.
Health & Stability
We center your teeth in healthy, stable positions in both jaws to support the gums, teeth, bite, and long-term dental health.
Expansion When Needed
A broad, stable smile can be accomplished through skeletal and dental expansion when a patient would benefit from it.
Finishing Touches
Through shaping of not only teeth but also gums when required, we strive for a veneer-like finish of your natural teeth.
How We Create Your Graf Smile
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We evaluate tooth position, jaw relationship, bite function, TMJ concerns, airway considerations, and long-term dental health.
- Digital Planning: Using advanced 3D imaging and digital tools, we design your ideal smile before treatment begins.
- Personalized Treatment: We choose the treatment approach that will best achieve your unique goals — whether that's Invisalign, braces, or a combination.
- Attention to Detail: Throughout treatment, we make micro-adjustments to ensure every tooth is perfectly positioned.
- Final Polish: The last phase of treatment is about perfecting tooth shape, gum balance, bite detail, and smile display.
More Than Straight Teeth
Many orthodontists focus only on straightening teeth. We focus on creating a smile that:
- Fills your smile: Proper arch width reduces dark spaces in the corners of your smile
- Shows the right amount: Tooth display when speaking and smiling is carefully planned
- Has perfect proportions: Tooth size ratios and gum levels are considered
- Supports your lips: Proper tooth position provides natural lip support
- Functions perfectly: A comfortable, healthy bite that lasts a lifetime
The Dr. Graf Difference
At Graf Orthodontics, you will see Dr. Graf at every appointment. For the best clinical results, Dr. Brian or Dr. Brandon Graf spends appropriate time with each patient at every appointment.
That doctor-patient interaction, combined with decades of finishing experience, is central to the Graf Smile.
We don't use cookie-cutter approaches. Your treatment plan is designed specifically for you.
A Graf Smile is designed to make you confident for the rest of your life.
