Girl Smiling with Braces
R&C G.
Mill Creek Orthodontics and their amazing Dr Markus Niepraschk are an outstanding choice for orthodontics and braces. I shopped around extensively, and compared a number of factors, before deciding on Mill Creek Orthodontics. I was so happy with what I found, so happy that subsequently all three of our children have gotten braces from Mill Creek Orthodontics.

This is what I found:
•the most competitive prices on the market
for braces
•a staff that has always been friendly, smiling and helpful
•clear and consistent communication at all times
•Dr Markus especially is a very creative problem solver. Whether it comes to your treatment or facilitating making the entire process possible, he is committed to finding solutions that will work.

I’ve been visiting the Mill Creek office for over five years straight, on an average of probably once a month, and can truly say that I have never once had a complaint, not been completely satisfied with the service, or left the office without feeling grateful that this was the orthodontist we decided to get our three kids’ braces from.

Thank you Mill Creek Orthodontics and Dr. Markus. We are grateful and hope you’ll have many more prosperous years ahead.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We are truly honored that you chose Mill Creek Orthodontics after doing such careful research, and it means the world to us that you trusted Dr. Markus Niepraschk and our team with the orthodontic care of all three of your children.

Hearing that your family has had such a positive experience over the past five years is incredibly rewarding. Our team works hard to create a welcoming environment, provide clear communication, and make every patient feel comfortable and cared for at each visit. Your recognition of Dr. Markus’s dedication to creative problem-solving and personalized treatment means a great deal to us.

Thank you for your continued trust and for being such a wonderful part of our Mill Creek Orthodontics family. We look forward to many more visits and to seeing even more great smiles from your family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!
Lu S.
I am so pleased with Mill Creek Orthodontics! I began Invisilign with Mill Creek right before the Pandemic. In 2025, I needed some new retainers made, so I went back to Mill Creek Orthodontics and we just picked up, both in friendliness and professionalism, where we left off! I wouldn’t trust my newly straightened teeth to anyone else!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Lu for your kind words! It means a lot that you came back to us for your retainers and trusted us again with your smile. We’re so glad to hear your experience felt just as friendly and professional as before. Enjoy your beautifully straight smile and we’re always here if you need us! - Dr Markus and the MCO Team!
Richard H.
My daughter loved her experience and the staff were always so kind to her when she was nervous!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your daughter had such a positive experience. Our staff truly cares about making every child feel safe, supported, and confident, especially during those nervous moments. It means a lot to know their kindness made a difference. We look forward to welcoming your family again!
Blair H.
I have two kids with special needs and the care Dr.Marcus and his team took to care for my kids. They listened and took in all my concerns, I recommend them to anyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Blair! It's important to us that we're there when our patients need us. - Dr. Markus and the team

This is a well managed office that runs very smoothly. I have never had to wait to be seen for my scheduled appointments. Everyone on staff is very personable, friendly and competent. They are all focused on providing a positive patient experience. If you are looking for an orthodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Markus and Mill Creek Orthodontics.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that your visits have been smooth and that our team has made you feel welcome and well cared for.

Dr. Markus, Brooks, and the team are so kind and accommodating. Mill Creek does a great job providing effective treatment plans tailored to their patients’ orthodontic as well as lifestyle needs.
