Nelson Orthodontics

Nelson Orthodontics is a highly reputable orthodontic practice based in Seattle, Washington, with two convenient locations in Ballard (Crown Hill) and the Magnolia Village. The practice has a long-standing history, with Dr. James Nelson originally opening its doors in 1967, and the current lead orthodontist, Dr. Paul A. Nelson, continuing a legacy of quality care. Nelson Orthodontics offers a comprehensive suite of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults. Their treatment options include various types of braces such as traditional metal braces, discreet ceramic (clear) braces, and self-ligating braces. They are also a prominent provider of clear aligner therapy, specifically Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, catering to patients seeking a less visible alternative to traditional braces. Beyond active treatment, they emphasize the importance of retention with various removable retainers to ensure long-lasting results. The clinic is distinguished by its commitment to patient comfort and utilizes advanced technology in its practice. This includes computerized diagnosis and treatment planning, digital X-rays for reduced radiation exposure, and 3D scanners at both offices. They pride themselves on an "all-inclusive" fee structure, meaning no hidden charges for records, X-rays, or retainers, and offer flexible, no-interest payment plans. They also accept most insurance plans and provide early bird appointments to accommodate busy schedules. Patients consistently praise Nelson Orthodontics for its friendly, knowledgeable, and professional staff, as well as the welcoming atmosphere. The practice fosters a supportive environment where patient concerns are heard and personalized treatment plans are developed.
