Larry T. Weddle DMD, MS
"An attractive smile is a wonderful asset to have at any age and an investment worth making," says Dr. Weddle, an orthodontic specialist treating children, teens, and adults. "An attractive smile contributes greatly to self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-image, so orthodontic treatment can benefit social and career success as well as improve one's general attitude toward life. Now that is a great return on investment, if you ask me!"
While orthodontic treatment has always been well accepted among 7 to 16 year-olds, the fastest-growing demographic in Dr. Weddle's practice and many orthodontic practices around the country is adults seeking treatment. In today's society, adults are realizing they are very likely to maintain their teeth the rest of their lives and are seeking treatments to improve their smiles.
Dr. Weddle received his undergraduate degree in microbiology from the University of Georgia, later receiving his dental education at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry. He completed his master's degree and orthodontic residency at the Medical College of Georgia. Since 2000, Dr. Weddle has had the privilege of providing excellent orthodontic care to the citizens of Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, and surrounding communities. In 2007 he moved into a brand-new office designed to incorporate the latest in technology as well as provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for his patients, their parents, and their guests.
"We strive to make the patients and parents say, 'Wow, what a nice experience!' from the initial visit to the last retainer check," he says. "We want to exceed their expectations."

Robert Rudman DDS, MS Advanced Orthodontic Care
So many ways to smile, so little time!
Today's technology makes creating the smile you've always wished for much faster, more comfortable, and less noticeable than anyone could have imagined even a few years ago. In fact, with all the technological advances available to you from Dr. Rudman, there has never been a better time to create the smile you've dreamed of.
Whether you are 8 or 80, Dr. Rudman offers treatment options that not only create the smile of a lifetime but also fit your lifestyle. His knowledge and published research on facial growth and development have helped to shape his non-extraction and no-headgear approach to treatment. For younger patients, there are mini-braces, clear braces, and the latest Synergy (r) braces, which, along with space-age wires that automatically adjust from the heat of your body, make treatment faster and more comfortable than in the past. Thanks to this technology, your new smile will unfold in record time.
Along with clear braces, our adult patients can choose from Invisalign, Sure Smile, and I-braces. Invisalign is a technology that straightens teeth without braces or wires, and the aligners are removable for eating and those special events. For patients who want to reduce their time in braces, Dr. Rudman was one of the first orthodontic specialists in Denver to be certified in Sure Smile technology, which utilizes robotically made orthodontic wires and high-tech imaging to reduce treatment time by as much as 30 percent! Lingual braces are braces that are placed behind the teeth; these used to be reserved for movie stars, but now with I-braces you can have that incredible smile and no one will know you have braces. Half of our patients are adults seeking the confidence and health that comes with having an incredible smile.
Dr. Rudman graduated magna cum laude from Marquette University School of Dentistry and earned numerous honors for his outstanding leadership and academic achievements. Dr. Rudman has invented numerous technologies that enable orthodontists around the world to provide better care and results for their patients while reducing treatment time and discomfort. He lectures nationally and internationally on orthodontics.
Our office philosophy-"We are here to make you smile"-goes well beyond the state-of-the-art treatment Dr. Rudman provides. It's never too late to discover your smile.....
