Nelson Orthodontics

Nelson Orthodontics is a well-established and highly-regarded orthodontic practice serving the Greater Seattle Area, with roots dating back to 1967 when it was founded by Dr. James Nelson. The practice is currently led by Dr. Paul A. Nelson, who joined his father in 1995, continuing a family tradition of excellence in dentistry with several family members also pursuing dental careers. Nelson Orthodontics operates from two conveniently located offices in Seattle: one in Ballard (Crown Hill) and another in the Magnolia Village. They are dedicated to providing a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience for patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults. Approximately 25% of their patient base consists of adults, showcasing their versatility in adult orthodontic treatment. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of cutting-edge orthodontic services, including various types of braces such as traditional metal braces, discreet ceramic (clear) braces, and self-ligating braces. They are particularly well-known for their expertise in clear aligner therapy, being a top provider of Invisalign and Invisalign Teen. Other services include retainers, expanders, and personalized treatment plans designed to address individual patient needs, from minor cosmetic adjustments to complex bite corrections. Nelson Orthodontics emphasizes advanced technology, utilizing computerized diagnosis and treatment planning, digital x-rays for reduced radiation, and 3D scanners at both offices. Their commitment to staying current with orthodontic advancements is evident through continuous education and regular in-office training for their experienced team. Patient convenience is a priority, with features like early morning appointments (as early as 7:10 AM), an "all-inclusive" fee structure with no hidden charges, acceptance of most insurance plans, and flexible, no-interest payment plans. They also offer complimentary initial examinations and recall (monitoring) appointments. The practice prides itself on its friendly, upbeat staff and a patient-centric philosophy that focuses on communication, collaboration, and outstanding outcomes, aiming not just to create beautiful smiles but to enhance their patients' lives. Reviews consistently highlight the professionalism, friendliness, and effectiveness of Dr. Nelson and his team.
