    Why it matters

    Why come in now?

    The longer a bite issue goes uncorrected, the harder it can get to fix later. That's not a scare tactic, it's just how teeth work. And if you're an adult who's been putting this off, you've already waited long enough. Coming in doesn't commit you to anything. It just tells you where you stand.

    Get to know Dr. Sytek

    The doctor you'll see.

    Dr. Lauren Sytek grew up in Alpena and trained at the University of Michigan, where she still teaches orthodontic residents. She built Sytek Ortho as a single-doctor practice on purpose, so the person planning your treatment is the same person carrying it out.

    “No matter where you’re starting from, I’m so excited to meet you! Please rest assured that it is not my philosophy to push people into starting treatment that they are not physically, mentally, or financially ready for. I’m here to evaluate your unique needs and to help support you in making the best decisions for you on your new smile journey. Whether you’re ready right away, or come back ready in a year or two, I am here for you!”
