Technology
Digital X-Rays
We offer the latest in digital radiography, otherwise known as X-rays. Not only are they friendlier for the environment, but they also reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional x-rays.
Cutting-Edge Orthodontics
We use cutting-edge orthodontic techniques and materials including self-ligating braces, ceramic (clear) braces, retainers, clear aligners like Invisalign, and memory wires. We are committed to staying current with advances in orthodontics by attending meetings and having regular in-office training so that we can provide you with the highest quality orthodontic care possible.
Tradition
The same core principles have guided Nelson Orthodontics since Dr. James Nelson opened the doors in 1967. We have always strived to provide quality care in a fun, efficient environment and be an active member of the communities we serve.
From our commitment to continuing education to our involvement in the Ballard and Magnolia communities, we have stayed true to our unique way of serving patients and are proud to be your Seattle orthodontists for almost 50 years now.
