Orthodontic Services for Marysville Patients
Lynnwood Orthodontics provides braces, clear aligners, two-phase treatment for children, and advanced options like MARPE expansion and TADs to Marysville patients at our Lynnwood practice. Dr. Fan evaluates each smile individually and recommends treatments built around your smile goals, whether that means traditional metal braces, virtually invisible aligners, or early intervention to guide a child’s jaw growth.
Braces for All Ages
Traditional metal braces remain a dependable choice for kids, teens, and adults. Today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than past versions, and they handle complex cases especially well, including severe crowding, significant bite issues, and rotated teeth that aligners may struggle to correct.
Clear Aligners
Prefer something less visible? Our practice offers clear aligner systems including Angel Aligners, Spark Aligners, and uLab Aligners. These removable trays straighten your teeth discreetly, and you can take them out to eat and brush.
Braces vs. Clear Aligners at a Glance
| Feature | Braces | Clear Aligners |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Visible brackets and wires | Virtually invisible |
| Removable | No, fixed to teeth | Yes, removable for meals |
| Wear Time | 24/7 | 20–22 hours per day |
| Best For | Complex bites, severe crowding | Mild to moderate alignment |
| Typical Treatment Time | 12–24 months | 12–18 months |
Two-Phase Treatment for Children
Some kids benefit from early intervention while they still have baby teeth. Two-phase treatment takes advantage of natural growth patterns to guide jaw development and create space for permanent teeth. This approach can reduce the need for more extensive treatment later.
Advanced Options for Teens and Adults
For patients with more complex needs, we provide:
- Adult orthodontic expansion using MARPE technology: a mini-screw-supported palatal expander that widens the upper jaw in adults without surgery.
- Temporary anchorage devices (TADs): small, temporary mini-screws that act as fixed anchor points, allowing precise tooth movement that braces alone can’t achieve.
- Motion appliances: devices that correct bite issues by gently shifting the jaw into a healthier position.
- Myofunctional devices: appliances that retrain the tongue, lips, and breathing patterns to support better oral and facial development.
Dr. Fan will walk you through every option during your free consult and help you choose what fits your lifestyle and smile goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Lynnwood Orthodontics from Marysville, WA?
Our Lynnwood practice is about 15 miles south of central Marysville. Most families make the drive in 20-25 minutes via I-5. The route is direct and easy to follow, even for first-time visitors.
What ages do you treat?
Patients of all ages are welcome at Lynnwood Orthodontics. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Many teens and adults also visit us when they want to improve their smiles. It’s never too early or too late to get started.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes to both. Our team coordinates with most dental insurance plans and files claims on your behalf. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer affordable, flexible care plans with 0% interest financing. During your free consult, we’ll review your options so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment length varies based on your specific needs. Most people wear braces or aligners for 12 to 24 months, though some cases are shorter and others take longer. Dr. Fan will give you a personalized timeline during your consult.
Do you offer free consultations for Marysville patients?
Absolutely. Every new patient receives a free consult, whether you visit us in our Lynnwood office or connect virtually. During your visit, we’ll look at your smile, talk through your goals, and explain your options. There’s no obligation and no pressure.
What’s the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Braces use brackets and wires attached to your teeth to gently guide them into place. They’re a great fit for complex cases and only ask that you keep up with brushing and flossing. Clear aligners are removable trays you wear 20-22 hours a day. They’re nearly invisible, and you can pop them out to eat whatever you like. Dr. Fan, board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, will help you decide which option fits your lifestyle and smile goals best.
