About Northeast Seattle Orthodontics
Early treatment for young kids and complex cases involving missing teeth or jaw surgery are handled here under Dr. Tori Matthys, in a location families say is easy to reach.
Reviews describe a practice comfortable starting orthodontic care early, with phase 1 treatment for young children coming up more often than typical, including expanders ahead of later Invisalign work. Dr. Tori Matthys is credited with taking on complicated cases—missing teeth, TMJ issues, pre-surgical jaw prep—and with helping anxious or nervous patients grow at ease with treatment over time. Several reviews mention the office's easy parking and convenient spot near a referring dentist, and some families say they travel a distance because they find it worth it.

I enjoy my experience that I’ve had at this Orthodontics office. When I open the door to walk in the receptionist always says hi Linda, I appreciate that they know who’s coming in and they use your name. When I have my teeth looked at, the hygienist is very respectful and nice and makes you feel comfortable with your experience.. I would highly recommend this orthodontist to anyone that asked me about orthodontic work.

We received an outstanding consult regarding my daughter's need for braces, and even though we ended up deciding to seek care in NYC where she'll be going to college, we left feeling informed, cared for and supported. So professional and personable with excellent care!
