Their office made her feel comfortable and that her feeling about being scared of treatment were valid.

AI (Amorphous I.

I have not yet started my braces treatment, but I have known I had to have them for 5 years and it was only when I went to their practice when I felt completely confident to proceed with... the treatment. Brooks and Dr. Markus have been very kind to me explaining my case and the steps to follow and I feel that I couldn't be in better hands. In addition, I have needed them to send a referral to two other practices because I also require surgery as part of my treatment and they have been very quick in sending out all the necessary information. I can't wait to start my treatment :)read more

Sara C.

I’ve went with Mill Creek Orthodontists for my Invisalign and the recommendations weren’t wrong. It’s been a great experience. They’ve laid out the expectations, explain the process every... time, and are easy to work with. Today Anna installed my attachments, it was almost seeming less and given the position my mouth was in I was able to relax bc I knew she knew what she was doing. I’ve already recommended them twice and will keep on.read more

Dr. Niepraschk is a genius with vision! Thanks to genetics, I had two baby teeth that I was holding onto well into adulthood (late 30s), but I was worried they would eventually come out on... their own (with my luck, in the middle of the work day or sometime equally inconvenient). On top of that, I wanted to straighten my teeth, but any sort of movement would have increased the likelihood that I was going to lose those teeth. When I met with Dr. Niepraschk, he noted two things: (1) it might be best to be proactive and extract those teeth on my terms, and (2) I had enough of an overbite that we could close the gaps once those teeth were gone without needing implants, thereby saving thousands and thousands of dollars. He was right. Roughly two years of Invisalign later, I have perfect teeth, no overbite, and no concern about baby teeth popping out. You cannot even notice that there were teeth missing. Had I gone to any other orthodontist, I probably would have had to drop $5k-$10k on implants, plus still had an overbite. This resolved two issues at once and saved me a ton of money, and I am grateful for Dr. Niepraschk's brilliant and elegant solution. Moreover, it took some trust to get this done, and the team at Mill Creek Orthodontics was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, even when I felt some doubt and had a million questions. They were always quick and kind when getting me answers. If you're looking for an orthodontist, do not hesitate; Mill Creek Orthodontics is your place.read more

Leah G.

Mill Creek Orthodontics has been amazing with my 9 year old daughter! The staff is friendly and makes her feel comfortable, and she gets ice cream every visit! The whole process with... getting her set up has been super easy. They used clear trays and technology to get molds of her teeth. They were super fast and showed instant 3D images. Communication is professional and timely. The experience so far has just been wonderful, and I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone needing braces!read more
