If you’ve been thinking about Invisalign®, now is the perfect time to schedule an appointment!

November 20, 2018

Does your smile beam with confidence? Are your teeth shifting? Never wore your retainer? Take advantage of our Invisalign® Special!

The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. However, only a certified orthodontist like Dr. Schnepper can undertake this procedure. At your appointment, we’ll evaluate where your smile is today and confirm that you are a good candidate for Invisalign® treatment.

Contact our office today to schedule your complimentary consultation (360-260-5113). The offer ends Nov 30, 2018.

Dr. Gretchen Schnepper has been practicing orthodontics in Vancouver, WA since 2007. She graduated from and completed an additional 27 month, advanced educational program in orthodontics at Loma Linda University. Dr. Schnepper is rated with Invisalign® as being a Diamond Provider. She is one of only two practitioners with this ranking in the entire Portland/Vancouver metro area.

*Invisalign clear aligners fit your life — they don’t interrupt it.*

What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® clear aligners are removable instead of being cemented or bonded to your teeth like traditional braces. That means you’ll be able to take them out to eat, brush your teeth, floss or for social occasions. Overall, Invisalign® braces are more pleasing aesthetically and have lower maintenance requirements, while being just as effective at correcting dental problems. Plus, the treatment times are up to 50% faster with technological advances to the Invisalign system, including SmartTrack^® material. Our patients know that every visit is going to be comfortable and fun. We want to be your Invisalign provider in Vancouver WA, so contact us today for more information!

Our Office
Inspired by the love of art and smiles, our team is drawn together to create a fun-loving atmosphere that will make you feel like you are family. We combine modern technology with skillful artistry to provide you with the beautiful smile you deserve.

Straight Teeth in Less Time

Advanced 3D Technology for Damon System Braces and Treatment Techniques

Smiles are a big part of every person’s identity. We take great pride in being part of this creative process, helping our patients achieve a healthy and natural looking smile that they’ll be able to enjoy for a lifetime.

With Insignia™ Advanced Smile Design™ treatment solution, we’re able to offer our patients a truly exceptional orthodontic treatment, as it allows us to design a treatment plan developed specifically to everyone’s unique facial structure and dental anatomy.

How is this different to other orthodontic treatments?

When beginning Insignia treatment, Dr. Gretchen first scans the patient’s mouth, generating a virtual 3D model of their smile structure. Unlike most orthodontic cases, this 3D model creates a visual representation of patients’ anticipated results, giving them a clear vision of their new, beautiful smile transformation before treatment even begins. Insignia brackets and wires are 100% customized to fit your teeth and only your teeth.

As a result, patients’ get faster treatment times and fewer office visits than traditional braces.

Whether you prefer braces, Invisalign or want a clear option like Damon Clear with Insignia, we believe you should choose the treatment that is completely custom-tailored for your unique teeth and smile.

If you’re thinking about orthodontic treatment for yourself or your teen, please contact Dr. Gretchen’s office to schedule an appointment. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have about braces and the Insignia orthodontic system.

We are Proud to Be The ONLY Platinum Provider of Invisalign® in Vancouver, WA!

February 27, 2018

by Karen Carsten

Dr. Gretchen Schnepper DDS, MS, has been setting the highest standards of excellence in orthodontics for over 11 years. She is the only Platinum (formerly ‘Elite’) provider of Invisalign® in the area and is ranked in the top 15% in the United States. Dr. Gretchen and her team are known for their mastery of very sophisticated technology, attention to detail and friendly service to keep patients’ families coming back for years.

Whether you are an adult or a teen, Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® offer a discreet way to get the straight smile you have always wanted, without braces. The clear aligners are designed with SmartTrack® material to move teeth with the right amount of pressure at the right time. The results are amazing!

Why Invisalign®?

Virtually invisible: most won’t even notice that you’re wearing them, making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle

Greater comfort: easy to brush and floss, no metal wires or bands and no dietary restrictions

Up to 50% faster: on average it takes about 12 months for adults, and treatment time for a teen varies and will be determined by Dr. Schnepper

Custom-made: customized options for each patient’s smile and a comfortable fit

Unique feature for teens: clear aligners contain compliance indicators that fade from blue to clear to help gauge wear time

Credible: no other clear aligner is backed by the data and experience of 5 million cases, and the number of Invisalign smiles grows daily

Rewarding: Invisalign has a more than 96% patient satisfaction rate.

“Dr. Schnepper has an eye for beauty, I have gone so far as to call her an artist. She was able to use Invisalign to improve the functionality and appearance of my teeth. I am very happy with the outcome of my treatment.” (Erika C.)

Call Dr. Schnepper’s practice today at 360-260-5113 for a FREE Invisalign treatment consultation. Find out how the advanced Invisalign system can now give you the smile you want up to 50% faster.
