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.

I walked in with little confidence that my top teeth could be straightened, and walked out 8 months later with a great smile. Dr. Dopple and staff are incredible - they treat you professionally but at the same time, just like you are part of the family. I had an amazing experience and will miss them - I don't say that a lot about anything dental! LOL

I was told I might need a second jaw surgery. Thankfully, I got a second opinion first. When I first moved to Seattle, I was dealing with ongoing bite issues despite already having had orthognathic surgery (upper and lower), wearing braces, and wearing Invisalign. Another provider here told me more surgery might be necessary. Dismayed, I sought a second opinion at Pacific Orthodontics, and am so grateful I did. Dr. Doppel recommended taking the Invisalign off entirely, skipping additional surgery, and instead pursuing myofunctional therapy. That recommendation has been genuinely life-changing. She has a deep understanding of how anxiety, mouth-breathing, tongue posture, and jaw clenching are all interconnected and how they affect orthodontic outcomes. Her bedside manner is the best I've encountered anywhere. I also want to highlight the front office staff, who are consistently friendly and responsive whenever I've had questions about my retainer or mouth guard. Everyone in this office is excellent, from the clinical team to the front desk. If you've had frustrating experiences at other dental practices in Seattle, Pacific Orthodontics is worth the visit!

I heartily recommend Dr. Doppel. She is a highly skilled orthodontist who also communicates clearly. Her staff are proficient and friendly. My emails and questions were promptly answered and the two referrals I needed during treatment worked out well. In her care, I completed treatment (braces) sooner than estimated or expected. Based on my experience as an adult patient, I am certain Dr. Doppel is good with children and makes the orthodontia experience fun for them.

I was referred to Dr. Doppel by my dentist for concerns related to my bite and TMJ and was truly impressed by my experience at Pacific Orthodontics. Having lived in different cities and countries, I've seen my fair share of dentists and orthodontists over the years, so I don't write reviews lightly. When I contacted the office, the scheduling coordinator was welcoming and professional. She answered all of my questions in advance, including practical details such as parking and the office location, which made the visit seamless. Dr. Doppel has an excellent bedside manner. She is kind, soft-spoken, thorough, and conservative in her approach. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, perform a comprehensive evaluation, explain her findings, discuss treatment options, and answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. I would also like to recognize Siobhan Collins, the treatment coordinator. She was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She listened attentively, showed genuine empathy, and made me feel heard and understood throughout the process. That level of care and professionalism made a tremendous difference to me when discussing concerns that were causing me a great deal of stress. While there is a consultation fee, I found it to be well worth the cost. The quality of the evaluation, the time spent with me, and the professionalism of the entire team exceeded my expectations.

I removed my braces a few hours ago. I recall getting them glued on ~15 months ago, on 22nd Feb. I barely remember anything else, and that's how I think medical treatment should be. There were no popped brackets, snapped wires, emergency visits, etc, etc. It was uneventful and I loved it. I'd visit every 4-8 weeks, get some adjustments, and repeat. No discomfort or inconvenience at all. 10/10, would recommend.

Hello, to all the beautiful and professional people that work at pacific Orthodontists office. I was in yesterday for a scan for a new retainer after some new crowns were placed, and I couldn't have been happier with my appointment. Emilio, you did such a nice job taking care of me with the scanning and professional courtesy you provided. To the two beautiful young ladies, that work up front, you couldn't make me feel more welcome. I love this office, I'm so glad I decided to have my braces done here. A lot of people comment on my beautiful smile and I would say yep, that's doctor Doppel's work.

As someone who just started orthodontic treatment 2 months ago for the second time in less than 6 years, I felt poor of bad retainer wear, and when I came to Dr. Doppel's, I felt immediately relieved, the pressure was off me. From my first meeting back in January, she was very thorough with her examination saying that there was lower forward tongue issues going on as well as moderate crowding on both arches. Not a lot of orthodontists are as thorough as Dr. Doppel when they analyze that there is a tongue issue going on. She is, better than my previous orthodontist, and PSA: If you want a thorough orthodontist who is fantastic at what they do, Dr. Doppel is the one to go to. I was able to get scans at my first appointment, and my first set of Angel Aligners the second appointment. That's how efficient they are.

I started wearing Angel Aliners in July and got them off today, and I’m so happy with my results. The whole process was super easy, and everything went smoothly because the office made it simple to follow and stay on track. My teeth are straight again, and my bite feels so much better. Dr. Dopple and the entire office staff have always been kind, supportive, and encouraging. They really have the process down, and it made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. I’m very grateful for their care and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

Introduced a relative to Pacific Orthodontics due to my stellar experience 7 years ago as a mature adult. He didn’t have a good experience with braces when he was younger. Dr. Doppel and her team were thorough and put him at ease. Dr. Doppel also diagnosed an ongoing cause for his teeth being pushed out which will be addressed through non apparatus means ,complementing the clear liner approach with changing trays which progressively correct the alignment. He was comfortable with the approach. i was surprised at the improvements in technology in even 7 years and pleased that Pacific Orthodontics provides a state- of-the -art approach. I know other patients of Dr. Doppel who range from 8 yrs to 60 yrs +. i admit being hesitant at middle age to do orthodontics but so glad that I did, for appearance, chewing , comfort and stopping the cause behind my teeth being pushed out . .

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.

Angel Aligner® Clear Aligners

A more discreet way to transform your smile.

At Pacific Orthodontics, we combine advanced digital technology with the experience and personal attention of our skilled orthodontic team.

Angel aligner® clear aligners are custom-designed to gradually move your teeth into a healthier, more balanced position—without traditional braces.

Comfortable. Discreet. Removable. Customized for you.

Whether you're an adult looking for a subtle approach to orthodontic treatment or a teen who wants the freedom of removable aligners, we can help you determine whether Angel aligner is right for your smile.

Learn more about clear aligner treatment, what Angel Aligner can treat, and what you can expect during treatment.

Your smile. Your treatment. Our expertise.

Clear aligners are a powerful technology—but successful orthodontic treatment starts with an experienced orthodontist and a carefully developed treatment plan.

At Pacific Orthodontics, every case is individually evaluated and treatment is designed around your orthodontic needs, goals, and long-term oral health.

Iconix Aesthetic Braces - Champagne Colored
Iconix stainless steel champagne-colored brackets truly offer the best of both worlds – the durability of stainless steel and the aesthetics of warm brushed gold.
