Our Treatments
Custom-tailored for all ages
Our Philosophy
We understand that every smile is different, and we’re passionate about providing care that’s tailored specifically to you. We take the time to listen because it’s not just about creating smiles – it’s also about making sure you feel confident and at ease every step of the way.
Whether you’re a parent bringing in your child or an adult ready to improve your own smile and function, we’re here to make your journey as smooth as possible.
Orthodontic Care for Every Age
Early interventional orthodontic care can help growing smiles avoid bigger issues down the road. When needed, we offer gentle, age-appropriate treatments to guide the healthy development of teeth, jaws, and bites (including appliances that help stop thumb sucking habits). We offer fun Wildsmiles braces, and in some cases, clear aligners as well! Virtual check-ins make staying on track easier and can help reduce missed school days. Not every child will need early intervention, but having an evaluation by age 7 is an important first step (see why in our FAQs).
The teen years are an ideal time for orthodontic treatment since most permanent teeth have come in. Whether it’s braces or clear aligners, we help teens choose a treatment that fits their lifestyle (including sports, music, and other extracurriculars and something they can feel good about!. Virtual check-ins make staying on track easier and can help reduce missed school days.
It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, especially with some of our more esthetic options! We can help you with a customized option that may best fit your goals and can communicate with your dentist for any co-treatment needs (read more in our FAQs). Virtual check-ins make staying on track easier and can help reduce missed school/work days as well!
Custom-Tailored Braces
For our classic metal braces, you can choose a type that requires colored ties (for a fun pop of color that can be changed at each appointment), or without. We believe not all braces are created equal! Our braces are custom-ordered to fit each patient. With precise digital planning and placement techniques, we’re able to design a more tailored treatment that improves efficiency and overall results.

Designed especially for our younger Phase 1 patients, we’re proud to be the first provider in Seattle to offer WildSmiles®. With brackets shaped like hearts, stars, and more, kids can customize their look and have fun expressing their personality – all while staying involved and engaged in their own treatment.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a comfortable, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. Custom-made for your smile, these removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into place without the need for traditional brackets and wires. Clear aligners allow you to eat, brush, and floss with ease while achieving a beautiful smile (read more in our FAQs).
Pain Management
Orthodontic treatment can sometimes cause mild discomfort, especially after adjustments—but relief is easier than you think. We offer a clinically proven, FDA-approved pain management solution that’s completely drug-free. This safe, non-invasive option helps reduce soreness and promotes faster comfort, so you can stay focused on your smile journey. Want to know if it’s right for you? Just ask us during your consultation.
Appliances
Expanders carefully widen the upper jaw to correct bite issues and/or crowding. With careful planning, they can reduce the need for tooth extractions. We only use custom laser-sintered expanders which completely eliminates an extra appointment where uncomfortable separator “bands” are typically placed between your teeth.
Retainers are essential to maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and are often clear and removable. Retainers are included with your treatment with us, but we can also provide replacement retainers even if you have not been treated with us!
Nightguards can be helpful for preventing tooth wear, reducing jaw pain, and protecting your smile from the damage caused by grinding/clenching. We offer custom-made nightguards to patients that have undergone orthodontic treatment with us. If you know you clench or grind, let us know at your consultation!
If you play contact sports, a well-fitting mouthguard is essential for protecting your smile. Custom-fit mouthguards offer comfort and superior protection by reducing the risk of dental injuries. We offer custom-fit options for patients who are not in active orthodontic treatment, and we have great recommendations for those currently in braces or aligners as well!
Our Technology
Our intraoral scanner allows us to take precise, 3D digital impressions of your teeth without the discomfort or mess of traditional molds. This technology is what allows us to provide each patient with a made-to-order custom treatment and retainer that’s tailored specifically for their needs!
Our iCAT CBCT x-ray machine gives us a detailed 3D view of your teeth, jaws, and airway in just a few seconds — all with low radiation and incredible clarity. With this advanced technology, we can see things traditional X-rays might miss, allowing us to create a more precise and personalized treatment plan for you.
We know you’re busy and it’s not always the easiest to make a phone call during office hours. That’s why we’ve invested in the latest digital communication to make getting in touch a breeze. Whether it’s the ability to book your appointments and filling out forms in the comfort of your home, texting, or virtually triaging concerns regarding your treatment, we’ve got you covered.
