Gig Harbor & Tacoma Orthodontics has announced an expansion of its clear aligner services, introducing the latest Invisalign technology to patients in Tacoma and Gig Harbor. The practice, led by a board-certified orthodontist with over a decade of experience, aims to combine specialist expertise with a modern, tech-forward office designed for patient comfort.
As a high-volume Invisalign provider, the practice emphasizes the importance of having treatment planned by an orthodontist rather than a general dentist. Orthodontists undergo years of additional specialty training focused exclusively on tooth movement and bite alignment, which influences every aspect of a clear aligner plan. The practice's orthodontist noted, "There's a real difference in the level of care when a specialist directs your treatment. 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."
The practice has invested in the newest iTero digital scanners, which capture a precise 3D image of the teeth in minutes, eliminating the need for messy impressions. Patients can preview a simulation of potential results before starting treatment. Diagnostic imaging is performed with ultra-low-emission digital X-rays, reducing radiation exposure while providing detailed views for accurate treatment planning.
Gig Harbor & Tacoma Orthodontics is a woman-owned practice that prioritizes 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 clinical judgment and hands-on familiarity from treating clear aligner patients daily. The practice serves families throughout Tacoma and Gig Harbor, offering orthodontic treatment for teens and adults in a welcoming environment.
Patients interested in Invisalign are invited to schedule a consultation to learn if clear aligners are suitable and to see a preview of potential results. Appointments can be booked at https://ghtortho.com/services/tacoma-invisalign/.
