Molen Orthodontics

Molen Orthodontics is a highly reputable and well-established orthodontic practice with a rich history spanning over 50 years, founded by Dr. Bruce Molen in 1972. The practice has since grown into a multi-generational family legacy, with Dr. Bruce's sons, Dr. Rick Molen and Dr. Aaron Molen, and partner Dr. Chris Eitzen, continuing to uphold and advance the practice's core values. They operate multiple locations, including Auburn, Enumclaw, and Sumner, Washington. Molen Orthodontics is distinguished by its commitment to combining the science of orthodontics with an artistic vision to create "Molen Signature Smiles." They believe that a beautiful smile is "more than just straight teeth," and focus on designing smiles that harmonize with an individual's facial features. This artistic approach, coupled with their pursuit of the latest technology and cutting-edge techniques, allows them to achieve natural and curved smile arcs, often avoiding traditional flat smiles. Their comprehensive range of services includes non-surgical treatments, interceptive treatment, various types of Braces (including ceramic, clear, and the advanced Damon braces system), and Invisalign clear aligners. They are recognized for their expertise in handling complex cases, often achieving significant results without the need for tooth extractions or surgery, utilizing techniques refined over decades. A notable offering is their "retainers for Life" program, providing free replacement retainers to patients, underscoring their dedication to long-term results and patient satisfaction. Patient care and comfort are paramount at Molen Orthodontics. They strive to make the orthodontic journey a positive and enjoyable experience, evident in their welcoming office culture, patient rewards programs (Molen Moolah), and amenities like arcades and massage chairs in some locations. Numerous patient testimonials highlight the kindness and professionalism of the staff and doctors, and the transformative impact of their work. Beyond clinical excellence, Molen Orthodontics is deeply rooted in community involvement. They established the "Spark a Smile Foundation," which provides scholarships for orthodontic care to children facing financial or unique challenges, demonstrating their commitment to giving back to the communities they serve. Their doctors are recognized among the top 1% by prestigious orthodontic clubs and frequently contribute to the field through lectures and publications.
