About Us
Welcome to Whitney and Robertson Orthodontics, where we proudly serve the orthodontic needs of patients in Sugar Hill, Suwanee, Buford, Lawrenceville, Gainesville, Dacula, Flowery Branch and Duluth, Georgia. Drs. Elaine Whitney and Tricia Fussell-Robertson work together as a team to help our patients achieve and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile that will last a lifetime.
We are dedicated to offering our patients only the latest treatments and technologies available to ensure they receive optimum results, including:
Invisalign® & Invisalign Teen® – The Clear Alternative
Invisalign and Invisalign Teen clear aligners are ideal for mature teens and adult patients looking to enhance their smile without the use of traditional braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom aligners that work hard to straighten your teeth and twice as hard to keep others from noticing.
Clarity™ – Clear, Ceramic Braces
For patients with aesthetic concerns of metal braces, we offer Clarity™ braces. Made of translucent ceramic material, they are most popular with professional adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces uses sliding door technology that allows the wire to slide back and forth in the bracket providing a more comfortable and faster treatment option for patients.
At Whitney and Robertson Orthodontics, your smile is our top priority! If you have any questions about our practice, feel free to call us at our Sugar Hill Office serving Gwinnett County including Sugar Hill, Buford, Suwanee, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Flowery Branch, Gainesville and Dacula.

We look forward to meeting you and seeing you smile!
