For over 30 years, Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics has helped more than 10,000 patients achieve not just straighter teeth, but smiles that are aesthetically balanced, confidence-boosting, and designed to last a lifetime. Led by board-certified Ogden orthodontist Dr. Chris Fanelli, the practice takes a unique, face-driven approach to treatment, where every smile is customized with artistic precision.
“We don’t just straighten teeth. We design smiles that enhance the entire face,” says Dr. Fanelli. “Our patients don’t just leave with better alignment. They leave with symmetry, harmony, and a renewed sense of confidence.”
The Face-First Philosophy
While many orthodontic treatments focus solely on alignment, Albrechtsen & Fanelli consider the entire facial structure when planning treatment. Their philosophy includes:
- A naturally flowing smile arc
- Even, symmetrical gum lines
- Proper bite alignment for long-term health
- A full, wide smile that fits the patient’s facial shape
This meticulous attention to detail leads to results that look natural, youthful, and balanced, rather than overly mechanical or artificial.
Advanced Tools Meet Artistic Vision
To achieve this level of precision, the practice uses the latest digital orthodontic technology, including:
- 3D digital scanning (no more goopy impressions)
- Low-radiation digital X-rays
- 3D printing for custom appliances
- State-of-the-art photography to plan, measure, and celebrate progress
These tools enable faster treatment, fewer visits, and more predictable outcomes while preserving the artistry behind every smile.
Meet the Pitts 21 Pro System
A key part of their approach is the Pitts 21 Pro system, an advanced self-ligating bracket that offers smoother tooth movement, better control, and fewer appointments. This innovative system allows for early 3D control of tooth torque and rotation, which means doctors can sculpt the final result with greater precision, earlier in the process.
“It gives us the control we need to deliver artistic results with less discomfort and faster treatment,” says Dr. Fanelli.
A Legacy of Local Trust
Unlike many practices now owned by corporate chains, Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics remains 100 percent locally owned and operated. Every treatment decision is made with the patient, not shareholders, in mind.
“We’ve built our reputation on results, relationships, and doing what’s right for each patient,” says Dr. Fanelli. “That’s what our community deserves.”
Quality Care That’s Accessible
Artistry doesn’t have to mean luxury pricing. The practice offers:
- 0% interest in-house financing
- Low down payments starting at $299
- Monthly plans as low as $179
- A Retainer Assurance Program for lifelong protection
- Zoom in-office whitening to complete the transformation
