Meet Dr. Silja Furche

Hello and welcome to Great River Orthodontics in Maplewood! Dr. Silja Furche is your local orthodontic specialist. She and the Great River team are committed to providing every patient with the ultimate orthodontic experience. We don’t just straighten smiles (which is why you’re here, of course), we also ensure the optimal fit and function of your teeth and jaw. It’s a comprehensive plan for a confident, healthy, and beautiful smile.

We want to make this a fun, educational experience, so you’ll always be informed and involved in your treatment decisions. We always say creating a great smile is a team sport, so consider yourself on our team!

When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you

Let’s talk about you. We want to sit down, one-on-one, and discuss how we’ll make your smile more beautiful than ever. We’ll ask about your goals and find out what you expect from your orthodontic experience. The plan we develop (together, because we’re a team!) will be specifically for you, and no one else. It’s your smile – we’ll make sure it’s right.

Here’s how to find us: we’re just off Highway 36, across from the Maplewood Retail Center. If you can see Cub Foods, you’re close!

A beautiful smile is priceless. And ageless.

How old are you? It really doesn’t matter, because orthodontics are for everyone!

If you’re at least seven, you should have an initial orthodontic evaluation. It’s not unusual to start orthodontic evaluations and monitoring this young. It’s a good opportunity to identify any issues that might require early treatment, solving problems now and saving money down the road.

If you’re a teen (12-16), it’s the ideal time to get braces or Invisalign clear aligners because your permanent teeth are fully in. And what teenager doesn’t want to project a healthy, confident smile?

And if you’re an adult, welcome to the club! Grownups crave that perfect smile for a variety of reasons, both personal and professional.

For sure, everyone should take advantage of our free consultation, complete with an oral exam with our doctor, digital X-rays, 3D mouth scan, and a plan for personalized treatment. It’s the first step on your journey to healthy teeth and a happy smile.
