CLINTHORNE AND KIM ORTHODONTICS

Providing Excellent Orthodontic Care since 1953

In 1953 Dr. Robert Aldrich founded our orthodontic practice in a house that stood next to our current location. Later, Dr. Daniel Balbach joined the practice, and in 1970 they partnered with several other dental specialists to build our office building. Dr. Clinthorne joined the practice in 1983 and Dr. Kim subsequently joined in 1999, followed by Dr. Novak in 2023. All five dentists connected through the University of Michigan Department of Orthodontics and their shared philosophy of always putting the best interests of the patients and their families first. Dr. Kim and Dr. Novak happily carry on this legacy at Burns Park Orthodontics.

Many of our patients’ parents were treated in this office, as well as their family
and friends. We think it speaks to their satisfaction with the treatment they
received through the years and the friendly atmosphere in our office.
