Orthodontist Serving Lynnwood, WA — Affordable Braces & Invisalign
If you’re a Lynnwood mom searching for an orthodontist who’s upfront about cost and won’t pressure you into anything, take a breath — you found one. Spain Orthodontics is about fifteen minutes south in Shoreline, and Dr. Christopher Spain has spent over a decade caring for kids, teens, and adults from Lynnwood and across the north end. Whether the school dentist flagged your child’s bite, your teenager wants clear aligners, or you’re finally ready for your own smile, every visit begins the same way: a real conversation about your options, and never a sales pitch.
An easy trip from Lynnwood — and worth it
From Alderwood, Scriber Lake, or anywhere near Lynnwood City Center, we’re a quick hop down I-5 or Highway 99. Lynnwood families come to us for the thing bigger, busier offices can’t offer: time and attention. We keep the practice small on purpose, so you’ll always see Dr. Spain — not a different provider each visit — and nobody’s rushing you out the door. Dr. Spain is also fluent in Spanish, so también, hablamos Español. Here’s what sets us apart.
Braces, Invisalign & clear aligners for the whole family
We fit the treatment to the person — kid, teen, or parent.
Early treatment (around age 7)
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up by age 7. Usually there’s nothing to do yet, but the occasional early step guides growth and prevents bigger issues later. Learn about early treatment for kids.
Teen braces & Invisalign Teen
Teens want results without the attention. We offer clear braces and Invisalign Teen, with straight talk about which your teen will actually keep up with.
Adult braces & clear aligners
Discreet clear aligners and adult braces fit right into a busy Lynnwood schedule — and it’s never too late to start.
Health-first, airway-focused orthodontics
Dr. Spain treats the whole person. Straight teeth are easier to keep clean and healthier, a good bite means less wear and fewer grinding headaches, and how a child breathes and sleeps connects directly to their bite and airway — the idea behind airway-focused orthodontics. And we’re here for the after-care too: replacement retainers when one goes missing and custom nightguards to protect teeth from grinding.
Affordable braces, no surprises
Most treatments run $6,000–$8,000, and braces and Invisalign cost the same — so you choose what’s best, not what’s cheapest. Without insurance, down payments start as low as $500, monthly payments as low as $199. With insurance, we handle verification and claims. See the full cost and financing breakdown. We’re simply not the office that upsells you on things you don’t need.
