Comprehensive Orthodontic Care in Gig Harbor

At GHO, we are dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile with a range of orthodontic treatments. Dr. Patra is here to provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

Invisalign: We offer Invisalign as a clear, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Our team will design a customized treatment plan to discreetly straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires.

Traditional Braces: Our traditional metal braces provide an effective solution for correcting misaligned teeth and enhancing overall oral health. We tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs, ensuring a comfortable and efficient path to a straighter, healthier smile.

Retainers: After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential to maintain the results and prevent teeth from shifting back to their original position. Dr. Patra will provide you with a custom-fit retainer and instructions on how to properly care for it.

Orthodontic Consultations: If you are considering orthodontic treatment, our consultations are a great way to discuss your options and create a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Patra and her team will assess your oral health and discuss the best course of action to achieve your desired results.
