Board-Certified, Woman-Owned Orthodontist Brings Newest Invisalign Technology to Tacoma

Gig Harbor & Tacoma Orthodontics today announced an expansion of its clear aligner care, bringing the latest Invisalign in Tacoma treatment to patients across Tacoma and Gig Harbor. Led by a board-certified orthodontist with more than a decade of experience, the practice combines specialist expertise with a modern, tech-forward office designed around patient comfort.

As a high-volume, experienced Invisalign provider, the practice emphasizes 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.
