I was referred to Dr. Doppel by my dentist for concerns related to my bite and TMJ and was truly impressed by my experience at Pacific Orthodontics. Having lived in different cities and countries, I've seen my fair share of dentists and orthodontists over the years, so I don't write reviews lightly. When I contacted the office, the scheduling coordinator was welcoming and professional. She answered all of my questions in advance, including practical details such as parking and the office location, which made the visit seamless. Dr. Doppel has an excellent bedside manner. She is kind, soft-spoken, thorough, and conservative in her approach. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, perform a comprehensive evaluation, explain her findings, discuss treatment options, and answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. I would also like to recognize Siobhan Collins, the treatment coordinator. She was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She listened attentively, showed genuine empathy, and made me feel heard and understood throughout the process. That level of care and professionalism made a tremendous difference to me when discussing concerns that were causing me a great deal of stress. While there is a consultation fee, I found it to be well worth the cost. The quality of the evaluation, the time spent with me, and the professionalism of the entire team exceeded my expectations.

I removed my braces a few hours ago. I recall getting them glued on ~15 months ago, on 22nd Feb. I barely remember anything else, and that's how I think medical treatment should be. There were no popped brackets, snapped wires, emergency visits, etc, etc. It was uneventful and I loved it. I'd visit every 4-8 weeks, get some adjustments, and repeat. No discomfort or inconvenience at all. 10/10, would recommend.

Hello, to all the beautiful and professional people that work at pacific Orthodontists office. I was in yesterday for a scan for a new retainer after some new crowns were placed, and I couldn't have been happier with my appointment. Emilio, you did such a nice job taking care of me with the scanning and professional courtesy you provided. To the two beautiful young ladies, that work up front, you couldn't make me feel more welcome. I love this office, I'm so glad I decided to have my braces done here. A lot of people comment on my beautiful smile and I would say yep, that's doctor Doppel's work.

Treatments and Services

Adolescent Orthodontics
Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common age for orthodontic treatment. A more attractive smile is just one of the many benefits of braces for teens. In addition to building self-esteem and confidence with a smile that looks better, having properly aligned teeth can actually improve speech, chewing, and overall health.
Adult Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teens. The benefits of a healthy, confident and beautiful smile are life-long. It’s never too late to get the amazing smile you are proud to show off. At Pacific Orthodontics, we know how well-aligned teeth improve the overall function and health of teeth and jaws, and boost self-esteem and confidence.
Early Intervention
To ensure the ideal timing for orthodontic treatment for your child, the American Association of Orthodontists® recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation around the age of 7. This way, any potential concerns can be monitored to ensure they’re addressed at the most appropriate time.
Surgical Orthodontics
We take a team approach working in coordination with an oral surgeon to address skeletal discrepancies and resulting problems such as difficulty eating, sleep apnea, and facial esthetics.

APPLIANCE Types

Invisalign Clear Aligners
Since Invisalign is nearly invisible, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Pacific Orthodontics is a certified Invisalign treatment provider!
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are less visible on your teeth than metal braces.
Iconix Aesthetic Braces - Champagne Colored
Iconix stainless steel champagne-colored brackets truly offer the best of both worlds – the durability of stainless steel and the aesthetics of warm brushed gold.
Conventional Stainless Steel Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before.
