Propper Smiles Orthodontics

Propper Smiles Orthodontics is a modern orthodontic practice situated in Gig Harbor, WA, committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate dental care. The clinic is spearheaded by Dr. Nicholas Propp, a Board Certified Orthodontist with a passion for transforming lives through beautiful and healthy smiles. Dr. Propp is dedicated to staying at the forefront of orthodontic advancements, utilizing the latest technologies and innovative treatments. Propper Smiles Orthodontics offers a wide array of services designed to meet the diverse needs of patients of all ages, from children undergoing early interceptive orthodontics (Phase One treatment) to teenagers and adults seeking to improve their smile and oral health. Their treatment options include: Traditional braces: Made from high-quality stainless steel, these are effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from minor misalignments to complex bite issues. Clear Aligners: As a discreet alternative to traditional braces, they offer Invisalign and Spark aligners, which are custom-made, removable, and nearly invisible trays. These are ideal for patients seeking a less noticeable treatment option. Self-Ligating Braces: These braces use a specialized clip system, potentially reducing friction and treatment time compared to traditional braces. They are available in both metal and clear ceramic options. Esthetic Contouring: This cosmetic procedure involves gently reshaping the edges of teeth and refining the gumline to improve appearance and create a more proportional smile. Dental Monitoring: An innovative remote tracking technology that allows patients to send photos of their teeth, enabling Dr. Propp to monitor progress and make adjustments without frequent in-office visits, enhancing convenience and efficiency. The clinic prioritizes a patient-focused approach, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and well-informed throughout their orthodontic journey. They emphasize patient education, empowering individuals to make confident decisions about their care. Propper Smiles Orthodontics also offers flexible financing options and accepts most insurance plans to make orthodontic care accessible. Beyond clinical excellence, Dr. Propp and his team are actively involved in community service, particularly with Gig Harbor/Peninsula YoungLife, reflecting their commitment to making a positive impact beyond their practice.
