About Rainier Valley Orthodontics
Dr. Dan Schruth's team is often noted for finishing treatment faster than expected, with some cases wrapped up in under a year.
Rainier Valley Orthodontics sees frequent mentions of treatment timelines, with several patients noting they finished in under a year, including one case completed in nine months using a mini triple bracket to speed a single tooth's progress. Invisalign and retainer care also come up often, with reviewers describing little discomfort and low visibility during aligner treatment, along with a smooth handoff to retainers afterward. Dr. Dan Schruth, who took over from the previous owner in a transition patients describe as smooth, is frequently credited with fixing issues quickly, including mailing Invisalign trays during the pandemic and handling an emergency bracket repair the day before Thanksgiving.

Just finished a 9 month treatment. Every appointment I went to was smooth. Scheduling was very easy! Happy with my results. I was uncomfortable with the hooks on my brackets and doctor fixed them quickly for my comfort. Thank you Doctor!

I worked with Dan Schruth and his team for over a year when I had Invisalign treatment. (My dentist referred me.) The office itself is clean and everyone who works there is meticulous, compassionate, and professional. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

I just finished my two-year journey with braces at Rainier Valley Orthodontics, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Schruth and his amazing team took such great care of me throughout the entire process. They were always friendly, professional, and made every visit comfortable. Today, I can finally smile with confidence — something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I can’t thank Dr. Schruth and his team enough for their dedication and kindness. Highly recommend Rainier Valley Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontist who truly cares!
