I’m about five months into my treatment with Dr. Doppel and have nothing but great things to say! As my orthodontist, she has such a calming and caring energy and always makes time for questions and discussion. After three different orthodontic consultations, she was the doctor I felt most comfortable and confident with. Her office staff is extremely responsive via email and phone, and I’ve always been able to get in quickly if I’ve had an urgent concern. They rock! Emilio is the orthodontic assistant I’ve seen for most of my adjustments, and he is great. Patient, kind, and always explains what he’s doing. I feel very confident in his work, and Dr. Doppel always checks in, reviews my progress, and spends time with me at each appointment. I was dreading braces at 38 years old, but I actually look forward to my appointments. So happy I chose this office!

Im very happy with the Invisalign treatment I received from Dr. Doppel and her staff. This office is in a great location. There is street parking or a parking garage right outside. The office is always clean/fresh and all the staff are very professional and friendly. Makes you feel right at home. I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends and anyone who needs braces or Invisalign.

I had a great experience with Dr. Doppel and the entire team. While the price is a bit higher compared to other orthodontic offices, the quality of care and attention to detail absolutely make it worth it. Dr. Doppel is very candid, honest, and always provides a warm welcome. She genuinely cares about the outcome and takes the time to explain everything clearly. What stood out to me the most is that she never cuts corners—on what was supposed to be my final retainer visit, she recommended additional refinement trays purely for aesthetic perfection. That level of commitment really shows how much she values her patients’ results. The front desk staff is also consistently kind and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. Although I’m still waiting on my final set of retainers, I’m already confident the end result will be amazing. There are plenty of at-home Invisalign-style options out there, but the professional touch and expertise you get here truly make a difference. I’ll definitely be coming back for check-ups even after completing my Invisalign treatment. Highly recommend! UPDATE: I also wanted to add how impressed I am with their aftercare. After finishing my treatment, I had an issue with my nightguard being too thick and uncomfortable. Dr. Doppel took the time to carefully examine what was causing the issue and worked with me to resolve it. Even after a few weeks, she continued to address the problem until everything felt right. I really appreciate that their care doesn’t simply end once the Invisalign treatment is finished. They genuinely stand behind their work and make sure their patients are comfortable and satisfied afterward as well.

The whole team is kind and bright. Dr Doppel has a deep pool of referring dentists for good reason.

Treatments and Services

Adolescent Orthodontics
Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common age for orthodontic treatment. A more attractive smile is just one of the many benefits of braces for teens. In addition to building self-esteem and confidence with a smile that looks better, having properly aligned teeth can actually improve speech, chewing, and overall health.
Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teens. The benefits of a healthy, confident and beautiful smile are life-long. It’s never too late to get the amazing smile you are proud to show off. At Pacific Orthodontics, we know how well-aligned teeth improve the overall function and health of teeth and jaws, and boost self-esteem and confidence.
Early Intervention
To ensure the ideal timing for orthodontic treatment for your child, the American Association of Orthodontists® recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation around the age of 7. This way, any potential concerns can be monitored to ensure they’re addressed at the most appropriate time.
Surgical Orthodontics
We take a team approach working in coordination with an oral surgeon to address skeletal discrepancies and resulting problems such as difficulty eating, sleep apnea, and facial esthetics.
