My family all had braces here 4 total. The employees are friendly, kind, and do a great job. They have always been nice and flexible with all our scheduled appointments. They really know what they are doing at this wonderful and clean orthodontics office. I am super happy with my smile 😁!

The absolute best staff I could’ve asked for. Since day one, I walked into Dr.Alatsis’s office and was informed of all of my procedures / options in the most informative / friendliest manner possible. After 18 months of orthodontic care, my braces were removed, and I am more than satisfied with the results. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with the Gig Harbor Orthodontics (GHO) team every step of the way. I would highly recommend / encourage anyone that’s considering the idea of overall general orthodontic care to give GHO an opportunity to take care of your smile.

I had an excellent experience at Gig Harbor Orthodontics! My daughter had braces years ago with them so it was my go-to when this 50 something adult wanted Invisalign! It was a smooth process, they were detail oriented and always friendly! Super happy with my new smile. I highly recommend them. Thank you!

I can’t recommend Dr. Patra and her practice enough! From our first consultation to my daughter’s last appointment getting her braces off, we always felt welcome and well taken care of. Dr. Patra and her entire staff are kind, patient and thorough. Wait times were minimal and the office was always impeccable. My daughter’s new smile is absolutely beautiful and when it comes time for my other children to need braces we know where we’ll go. Highly recommend!

As an adult with braces, it was challenging to give up certain foods. I never thought I would really get braces, but I can say that I am beyond happy with the outcome. Not eating kettle cooked chips (not to mention raw carrots) for twenty three or so months was worth the wait! The vibes of all the qveens here made coming here for my visits enjoyable each time! Who run the worlddd? Love their new location in Proctor! I was the first one to get my braces off there =^.^=

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of orthodontic treatments do you offer?

We provide a variety of orthodontic treatments including traditional braces, Invisalign for both adults and teens, early orthodontics for children, and cosmetic dentistry options to enhance your smile.

How can I determine if my child needs early orthodontic treatment?

Early orthodontic evaluations are crucial. Signs that may indicate the need for early treatment include difficulty chewing or biting, thumb sucking beyond age 5, and noticeable gaps between teeth. We recommend scheduling an evaluation by age 7 for a comprehensive assessment.

Is Invisalign suitable for all ages?

Yes, Invisalign is designed for both adults and teens. Our Invisalign Teen option includes features specifically tailored for younger patients, ensuring effective treatment while accommodating their unique dental needs as they grow.

What should I expect during my first orthodontic consultation?

During your initial consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw alignment, discuss your concerns and goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. This visit typically includes digital imaging and may take about an hour.

How often will I need to come in for adjustments during treatment?

For most orthodontic treatments, appointments for adjustments are scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks. However, this frequency may vary based on your specific treatment plan and progress. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process!
