Creating Razz Smiles
At Razz Orthodontics, we don’t just straighten teeth — we design confident, healthy smiles that last a lifetime. Led by Dr. Michael Rasmussen (aka Dr. Razz), our practice goes beyond the basics to deliver next-level orthodontic care in a fun, welcoming environment. From cutting-edge technology to personalized treatment extras, we’re here to make your smile journey smooth, effective, and enjoyable.
Complimentary Teeth Whitening
Every patient deserves a bright, confident smile. That’s why we include complimentary professional teeth whitening for all cases once your treatment is complete for those over 14 years of age. Your new smile will shine as brightly as you do—at no extra cost!
Lifetime Confidence Program (Lifetime Retainers)
Smiles are forever, and so is our support. With our Lifetime Confidence Program, you’ll get replacement retainers when needed — because keeping your smile straight shouldn’t come with extra stress (or surprise costs down the road). All patients get one set of retainers as a part of their treatment. But, if you purchase our Lifetime Confidence Program and want an extra retainer for your luggage, dorm room, or as a ‘just in case,’ it’s only $45 per additional retainer .
While we don’t encourage turning your retainer into a snack for your pet, at least you’ll be prepared with a replacement if it happens!
Ultima Braces: Better Tech, Faster Results
We use Ultima Braces, a revolutionary bracket system designed for faster, more precise tooth movement. That means fewer visits, shorter treatment time, and stunning results you’ll love.
Spark Clear Aligners: Discreet & Powerful
For those looking for a nearly invisible treatment option, we offer Spark Aligners — the latest in clear aligner technology. They’re clearer, more comfortable, and more efficient than traditional aligners, helping you reach your smile goals faster.
Finishing Touches For a Perfect Smile
Once your braces or aligners come off, we offer tooth contouring to smooth out minor edges and shape your teeth for a beautifully polished final result.
Sometimes, the gums need a little shaping, too. Our gentle laser gum contouring helps even out your gum line to enhance the symmetry and aesthetics of your smile.
To help your top and bottom teeth fit together just right, we use Interproximal Reduction (IPR) — a safe and simple technique that creates just the right amount of space for ideal alignment and long-term bite stability.
A Friendly, Fun & Skilled Team
From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the difference. Our team is known for being upbeat, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help you smile. Dr. Razz combines advanced clinical expertise with a fun, approachable vibe that makes every visit something to look forward to.
A Board-Certified Orthodontist & Family Man
One factor that sets our practice apart is our Board-Certified Orthodontist, Dr. Razz. This means that he has completed additional training and testing to become a certified orthodontist. Board certification is not required to practice orthodontics, but it demonstrates a commitment to excellence and ongoing learning in the field. When choosing an orthodontist, it’s important to look for board certification as it ensures that you are receiving treatment from a highly qualified and skilled professional.
In the world of orthodontics, board certification is considered a mark of excellence and proficiency. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and in affiliation with the American Association of Orthodontists. Achieving Board-Certification with the ABO involves a rigorous process that requires the orthodontist to display not only a high level of theoretical knowledge but also a proven track record of clinical expertise.
Dr. Razz underwent this demanding, voluntary examination process, which involved presenting patient cases to a panel of highly respected orthodontists. His board certification testifies to his commitment to maintaining the highest standards of clinical excellence and his dedication to the profession. As a patient, you can feel confident knowing that a Board-Certified orthodontist, such as Dr. Razz, provides a high level of care in alignment with the latest advancements in the field.
Characteristics of a Razz Smile
At Razz Orthodontics, we believe a great smile is more than just straight teeth — it’s a combination of harmony, health, and confidence. A Razz Smile is designed with precision, ensuring every detail contributes to a natural, radiant look. Dr. Razz focuses on these key characteristics to help you achieve a smile that is as stunning as it is healthy.
Gum Tissue: The Perfect Frame for Your Smile
Healthy, well-proportioned gums enhance the appearance of your teeth, creating a balanced, vibrant smile. Even gum lines not only improve aesthetics but also support long-term oral health.
Aligned Bite: Function Meets Beauty
A properly aligned bite ensures your teeth fit together correctly, reducing jaw strain, preventing uneven wear, and promoting lasting dental health while giving your smile a naturally polished look.
Smile Arc: The Secret to a Youthful Look
A well-designed smile arc follows the natural curve of your lower lip, creating an attractive, balanced, and youthful appearance. Dr. Razz carefully considers this detail to craft a smile that enhances your facial harmony.
Ideally Shaped Teeth: Proportion & Perfection
Teeth that are well-shaped and proportional to your facial structure contribute to a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile. Size, contour, and symmetry all play a role in creating that perfect Razz Smile.
A Wide Smile: Brighter, Bolder, More Confident
A broad smile makes teeth appear fuller and more radiant, enhancing facial symmetry and creating a warm, inviting look. Expanding your smile’s width can dramatically improve its overall impact.
Straight Teeth: More Than Just Aesthetics
Beyond enhancing your smile’s beauty, straight teeth improve oral health by making brushing and flossing easier, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and long-term dental issues.
Aligned Midlines: The Finishing Touch to Symmetry
When the center of your upper and lower teeth align perfectly with your face, it creates a well-balanced, naturally attractive smile. Midline alignment enhances overall facial harmony and is a hallmark of a Razz Smile.
A Razz Smile is crafted with precision, balancing beauty, function, and health to give you a smile you’ll love for life. Ready to experience the confidence of a perfectly designed smile? Request your free consultation with Dr. Razz today!
