What Sets Us Apart

The world of orthodontics is ever evolving. At The Smart Orthodontic Group, our commitment is to stay at the forefront, both from a technology and education perspective.

That's why our team of orthodontists, Dr. Chad Smart, Dr. Vincent Kokich Jr., and Dr. Kristy Merriman, have made lifelong learning a huge priority and why we've invested so deeply in technology that enhances your results as the patient and improves the quality of your care. We offer:

• Best-in-class 3D-imaging technology
• Electronic records keeping for faster appointments
• Elite provider status using the Invisalign® System
• Damon™ brackets for optimal results with braces

For our patients, this means enhanced comfort, improved aesthetics during and after treatment, more efficient treatment, and fewer trips to our office. And while you're here, our whole team is committed to giving you world-class results and an unmatched patient experience.

Our Team

The Puget Sound region is known nationally for having some of the best orthodontists in the country. So how do you distinguish yourself as an orthodontic specialist in an area filled with so many terrific doctors?

The answer is surprisingly simple. Education.

Yes, orthodontists go to school for a long time. But orthodontists also have on-going opportunities to attend lectures, join study groups devoted to learning new techniques, and submit their work for review by other orthodontists. That's how you keep improving. But only the best orthodontists take full advantage of these offerings over the long haul.

 

Award-winning Results

We've been frequently voted Best Orthodontic Practice by South Sound Magazine and a Seattle Met Top Dentist, but the awards we care most about are the referrals and testimonials of our happy patients.

Cutting-edge Technology

Because we really believe that a beautiful, healthy smile is important, we offer the most advanced care and the best in hi-tech treatments, including Invisalign, ceramic braces, or traditional wire braces.

Ongoing Education

Even with a combined 60+ years of experience, our orthodontists are committed to refining their skills. They've earned peer recognition through prestigious organizations like the Angle Society of Orthodontists and the American Board of Orthodontics.
