Dr. Robert Gire grew up in a very modest household and never had the opportunity to get his teeth straight as a child. His smile was very crowded and not pleasing in appearance. During his preparation for dental school interviews, while most students were practicing what they were going to say, Dr. Gire was trying to figure out a way to speak without showing his teeth. They were that bad. In his mind he kept thinking, nobody goes to a dentist with bad teeth or to a dermatologist with bad skin. He truly felt that his crippling smile would definitely prevent entrance in the dental school. Luckily he was accepted and he proceeded to see an orthodontist immediately to seek treatment after the program started.

That is why Dr. Gire strongly and emphatically believes all children and adolescents should absolutely have the opportunity to correct their smile. The confidence and self-esteem that comes from a nice smile is immeasurable and no child or young adult should have to endure hiding their smile and thwarting their personality. This is why he strives to make things affordable for any family budget while not compromising on board-certified care.

Smiles are so unique and personal. Everyone has an idea of what the ideal smile and bite look like to them and not everyone wants the same smile or the same goal. Orthodontics is not a cookie-cutter profession where one treatment plan fits all. The key is to fit the desired smile thats being framed by the individuals face and skeletal composition. Dr. Gire understands the role teeth play in creating properly facial support and symmetry and his orthodontic approach always takes this into account.

Dr. Gire knows that the orthodontic world is rapidly changing, so he is dedicated to staying up to date on the latest treatments, technology and materials available. He is the clinical director of a well-known international orthodontic manufacturing company and he has maintained a teaching position at the University of Southern California, Ostrow School of Dentistry teaching orthodontics. Staying involved with these two entities allows Dr. Gire and his team to always provide the most up-to-date and very best care to their patients.

I like to think of myself as a student of life listening and learning is so important. Every day my patients teach me something new. That makes this the best job to have and I love it. Dr. Robert Gire
