Gig Harbor & Tacoma Orthodontics, a board-certified, woman-owned practice, has announced an expansion of its clear aligner care, bringing the latest Invisalign technology to patients in Tacoma and Gig Harbor. The practice, led by an orthodontist with over a decade of experience, combines specialist expertise with a modern, tech-forward office designed around patient comfort.
As a high-volume, experienced Invisalign provider, the practice highlights a distinction many patients overlook: the difference between having Invisalign treatment planned by an orthodontist versus a general dentist. Orthodontists complete years of additional specialty training focused solely on the movement of teeth and the alignment of the bite, expertise that shapes every decision in a clear aligner plan.
"There’s a real difference in the level of care when a specialist directs your treatment," said the practice’s board-certified orthodontist. "A general dentist is often limited by what the software recommends. As an orthodontist, I control the full treatment plan — how each tooth moves, in what sequence, and how the final bite comes together. That’s a deeper level of care, and it’s what patients deserve when they invest in their smile."
The practice has invested in the newest iTero digital scanners, featuring a brand-new design that captures a precise 3D image of the teeth in minutes, eliminating the need for messy, uncomfortable physical impressions. Patients can even preview a simulation of their potential results before beginning treatment. Diagnostic imaging is handled with ultra-low-emission digital X-rays, reducing radiation exposure while giving the orthodontist the detailed view needed to plan treatment accurately. Together, the technology supports a streamlined, comfortable experience from the first consultation through the final aligner.
Gig Harbor & Tacoma Orthodontics is a woman-owned practice built on specialist-level care and a patient-first approach. With more than 10 years of experience and a high volume of Invisalign cases, the orthodontist brings both the clinical judgment and the hands-on familiarity that come from treating clear aligner patients every day. The practice serves families throughout Tacoma and Gig Harbor, offering orthodontic treatment for teens and adults in a welcoming, modern environment.
