Detailed Introduction

Gessel Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic serving the Tacoma and Puyallup, Washington areas. The practice is led by Dr. Thomas Gessel, an experienced Orthodontist who graduated from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and completed his post-doctoral residency in orthodontics at the University of Louisville. Dr. Gessel, a Tacoma native, is committed to providing personalized treatment plans and building relationships with his patients. Gessel Orthodontics offers a comprehensive array of orthodontic solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of both children and adults. Their services include traditional metal Braces, which have been modernized for greater comfort; self-ligating braces, which use a specialized clip system for fewer adjustments; clear (ceramic) braces, a more discreet option; and Invisalign Clear Aligners, a virtually invisible and removable alternative. They are a certified provider of Invisalign and utilize advanced digital scanning systems like iTero® for precise treatment planning. The clinic emphasizes a patient-centric approach, striving to make the orthodontic experience as comfortable and rewarding as possible. They offer initial consultations that include a thorough oral exam, X-rays, and a discussion of customized treatment and financial plans. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly and professional nature of Dr. Gessel and his team, praising their clear communication and accommodating approach, especially in handling emergency care and scheduling. Gessel Orthodontics also stresses the importance of continued routine dental checkups with a family dentist during orthodontic treatment.

I am incredibly happy with my experience at Gessel Orthodontics. I underwent treatment for almost four years and had many questions throughout the process. I was very particular about how I wanted my teeth to look, and Dr. Gessel was always patient and attentive. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explained things in a way that was both thorough and easy to understand.

Initially, I wore traditional Braces, but as the treatment progressed, I requested some minor adjustments. Dr. Gessel switched me to Invisalign toward the end of my treatment, helping me achieve the result I had envisioned. His calm, kind, and professional demeanor made the entire process much more enjoyable, and his team was equally wonderful. Everyone at the office is friendly, always with a smile, and they create a welcoming and positive environment.

I am so satisfied with my results that my sister is now also receiving treatment at Gessel Orthodontics. I highly recommend Dr. Gessel and his team to anyone seeking high-quality orthodontic care! Thank you, Dr. Gessel and the team, for the wonderful experience!

Staff has been wonderful, professional, and very effective. Feels like there are a lot of places that try to squeeze out everything they can and try to push extras, but Gessel has been nothing like that. I can't say how grateful I am for this.

They have given the best quality care in a streamlined manner. Excellent care and I will bring all my kids here for all their future ortho needs. Highest recommendation!

They made an installation of expanders a fun core memory for my 8 year old! They played his favorite songs and fitted all my boys with some cool shades. I highly recommend this office!!
