Ive built a reputation for delivering uncompromising orthodontic care with an emphasis on patient comfort and convenience. You and your family can trust us with the care of your smiles. We value you, and its our desire to provide you with precise, beautiful results that last.

My family dentistry experience has helped when working with dentists and other specialists, because it translates into total patient care. Plus, my role in professional associations, along with my research and teaching experience, has allowed me to learn from the combined experience of all my peers. At association meetings, we discuss solutions for difficult cases, share new research, exchange effective techniques and generally build our base of orthodontic knowledge in order to benefit you, the patient.

When not building beautiful smiles and healthy bites, I enjoy quiet times with my wife and our two dogs, boating, golfing, biking, and winter sports. I especially enjoyed the many years of coaching soccer and basketball for my three daughters.

My favorite part of the day is showing my patients and their parents their finished beautiful smiles and healthy bites. It is so exciting to realize that every day I go to work, peoples lives are improved. That feeling makes me very grateful I am able to work in such a great profession, with such a great staff, and keeps me excited to keep working and give 110%.

As an orthodontist in Grand Rapids, MI, having an extensive education is a powerful tool that helps me give you and your family the high caliber of orthodontic care you deserve. Each year I take a variety of professional courses and attend many hours of continuing education to enhance my knowledge of orthodontics.

First and foremost - I am writing a review after my experience here in early 2018, versus my experience at Miller Orthodontist (also on Cascade RD). Being said, things may have changed here. At Karl, I requested an appointment for Invisalign. Yes, we spoke about it, but due to my jaw clenching the Invisalign trays would "not be able to stay on." I was told my only option would be braces. While vaguely considering braces, I was told I was given a "deal" with the price, but I had 24 hours to decide and sign a document. Also, 24 hours to decide to open a Care Credit credit card (29.99% interest rate), since my insurance did not cover it. I felt like I was buying a car with a pushy salesman. Not wanting have adult braces, I decided it wasn't worth it...Glad I did not go with it. Fast forward to June 2021 - I went to Miller Orthodontics, after a recommendation from my dentist. I went 2.5 years thinking I would never be able to have Invisalign. Guess what? Dr. Miller actually recommended Invisalign over braces in my situation. It's February 2022 now, my smile not only looks great without braces, but my bite has been fixed and I am clenching less. In addition, there was no credit card or pressure to make a decision in 24 hours for a "deal." I simply have installments; no credit card or interest. I ended up actually saving $1-1.5k with Invisalign at Miller, compared to braces at Karl. The timeline was also shorter with Invisalign. To end, why was I told something so outrageously false? That my trays "wouldn't be able to stay on," due to my bite and clenching? Perhaps the technology has dramatically changed over the past 2.5 years, but I feel like I was lied to. The trays are so tight it is hard to take off sometimes. I assume trays have been tight invention. How else would they be able to move teeth? If Dr. Karl wasn't as familiar with Invisalign, why not just admit that? As stated, I went years thinking my only option were braces after my experience here. I wouldn't have needed to leave this long detailed review 4 years later.

They put my brackets on wrong on the bottom and now I have to get them redone, this adds 2 more months to my treatment! Overall though I think they're great maybe take your time when you put on braces though.

I love this place but more importantly, my kids love it! From the consultation to treatment plan, the staff made it so smooth. The staff is so friendly and always make sure to take the time to engage with every patient and parent. Appointments are easy to make and the environment is clean and inviting.

Staff is very kind and professional. While Dr. Karl is not our normal ortho, he fixed my daughters retainer and the experience was much more pleasant than our previous orthodontist.

Went in twice for a retainer repair only to have it never fixed $150 later. My teeth have moved and hurt now and I went to another orthodontist. I felt very pressured here too and it was a very uncomfortable experience. Save yourself some time and money and call Gary Armbrecht instead.
