Services

Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This method benefits patients seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. The 3D imaging technology ensures precise treatment planning and predictable results.

Traditional Braces

Modern metal braces offer effective orthodontic treatment with smaller, more comfortable brackets. This solution works well for complex dental issues while allowing personalization with colored elastics for patients who want a more expressive option.

Clear Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces provide a less visible orthodontic solution using tooth-colored materials. This treatment suits older teenagers and adults prioritizing aesthetics while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional bracket systems.

iTero Digital Scanning

iTero technology creates accurate 3D dental impressions without messy putty. This digital system improves treatment planning accuracy and allows patients to visualize their treatment progress in real-time during consultations.

Phase-One Treatment

Phase-One treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10. This early intervention creates proper space for permanent teeth eruption and can prevent more complex treatments later through expanders and partial braces.

This team has been really great, everyone from the front desk, to finance, dental assistants and dentist have been amazing to work with. I started off in invisiline last year but due to my inability to keep them in I transitioned to traditional braces this year. The staff have provided me with great customer service this entire time. When I lost my job last year due to COVID they post poned my payment plan until I was able to pay, they were extremely nice, understanding, and accommodating.

My appointments have always been on time and the one time I had to rush to pick up my son they worked fast and diligently to get me out quickly. I'm very happy with how my smile is turning out and want to thank everyone at this location for being such an amazing team.

The staff is amazing! They're all super friendly and courteous to their patients. Mckenzie is always smiling as she greets you when you enter the office and Renee is really helpful with any Ortho questions. Any questions about treatment or insurance, they can answer it! And Dr Merriman is always cheerful and explaining the treatment plan best suited for you!

In a day when it's difficult to find professional, outstanding customer service, hats off to Dr. Sundberg and his staff at Pacific Northwest Orthodontics! The staff always remembers my name and is friendly and efficient. Dr. Sundberg takes the time to explain any procedures and answer my questions. His assistants are top notch, friendly, and efficient. One of the best medical offices I've ever visited!

Some of the best care I've had for any service in my life. The doctor really cares about his craft and the genuine interest in it is shared by the assistants. They do a great job of sitting you down, talking to you, and really just making sure they provide the best service that they can. I use Invisalign and I've accidentally broken my permanent aligners, and when this happened they worked closely with me to get a new set without any problems at all. 5/5 would highly recommend.

Very clean and tidy office, free WiFi, good updated dental equipment and big monitors in the evaluation offices. It's nice to see the progress since they keep a great record of the kids inprovement over time. The providers are ok. They take time to answer questions and they are good with kids. The orthodontic dental assistants have a lot of knowledge, they're patient and super friendly. The front staff meh. they always sound annoyed on the phone.

Sometimes we've had to stand at the front desk for a couple minutes or more and there has been no eye contact, or a wave, or an 'I'll be with you shortly.' That to me is poor customer service. Overall I give them 4 stars because we are happy with the end result of our children teeth.
