Kadee H.
Mill Creek ortho was a great experience for me as an adult with braces, I have brought my kids here for their treatment as well. They are always so kind, welcoming and accommodating. Their space is always clean and comfortable. My kids have enjoyed their treatment here and the ice cream is always a special treat for them as well. Quick and organized appointments and we have never had to wait long from start to finish.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to us that you’ve trusted our team with both your own orthodontic care and your children’s treatment. We’re so glad to hear that you’ve felt comfortable and well cared for throughout your experience, because that’s exactly what we strive for with every patient.

It’s especially wonderful to know your kids enjoy their visits (and the ice cream). Creating a welcoming, efficient, and positive environment for families is very important to us, so your kind words really mean a lot. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to continuing to care for your family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!
Zoe M.
Extremely kind and kept making sure I was okay! They were so welcoming and made me laugh so much! They helped me to be excited about having braces!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Zoe!!! It's so important to us that our patients have fun at their appointments! We appreciate your kind words. - Dr. Markus and the team
Benjamin R.
3 of our kids go to see Dr. Markus, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very fun. It is just a comfortable and welcoming office. The kids love the ice cream they get to choose at the end of the appointment. I would highly recommend them for braces journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dr. Rowland! That means a lot to us coming from another professional. We love treating your family and are glad to hear they love their smiles. - Dr. Markus and the team
Rachel H.
Mill Creek is a great spot! Big fan! Getting braces as a 38yo mother of three was not on my radar at all, so let’s just say I was less than thrilled when my dentist referred me. BUT Doc and his fabulous team were rockstars from day one and made the experience as enjoyable as it could be with their kind demeanor, knowledgeable tips/advice, and delicious ice cream at every appointment! You won’t regret choosing Mill Creek.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We know that starting orthodontic treatment as an adult (especially with a busy life and family) can feel unexpected, so it truly means a lot to hear that our team helped make the experience a positive one for you.

We’re so glad you felt supported every step of the way, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Doc and the entire team, they’ll be thrilled! And of course, we’re happy the ice cream didn’t hurt either 😊

Thank you again for trusting us with your smile. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Mill Creek family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!

Benefits of Invisalign Treatment

Choosing Invisalign treatment comes with a plethora of benefits that make it a popular choice among patients. One major advantage of Invisalign is that the clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. This is especially beneficial for adults and teenagers who may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces.

Invisalign aligners are also removable, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. You can easily take out the aligners to brush and floss your teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer visits to the orthodontist for adjustments, saving you time and making the process more convenient.
