Robert Gire, DDS, MSD

I love being an orthodontist. I am so fortunate to have found a profession that is so uniquely rewarding. Through my training and residencies, I’ve learned that a good orthodontist needs to possess several attributes: a keen eye for angles and spatial relationships, excellent listening and communication skills, and the ability to balance theoretical and practical concerns. A smile is so important, but so is how that smile is framed by the face. I understand the important role teeth play in proper facial support and symmetry, so I try to avoid removing teeth whenever possible. The orthodontic world changes rapidly, so it’s important to stay current on the newest treatments, materials and technology available. This ensures I can provide the best care to my patients. I like to think of myself as a student of life – learning is so important and every day my patients teach me something new. That makes this the best job to have and I love it.
