Originally from Staten Island and raised in Tennessee, Dr. Jack now calls Seattle home with his wife, Dr. Kortne, and their two children. When he’s not creating confident smiles, you’ll find him on the golf course or cooking up something special for family and friends.
Dr. Kortne, a Michigan native, loves spending time outdoors with her husband, Dr. Jack, and their kids, whether skiing in the winter or enjoying Seattle summers. Her passion for orthodontics is matched by her love of travel, arts and crafts, and making meaningful connections with her patients.
Born in Taiwan and a proud Seattle transplant, Dr. Asher is a triple Husky who completed his undergraduate, dental, and orthodontic training at the University of Washington. When he’s not perfecting smiles, he enjoys cooking, sailing, golfing, and exploring the Pacific Northwest with his wife, son, and their Boston Terrier, Tucker.
A Seattle native, Dr. Lauren is passionate about creating beautiful, healthy smiles while making every patient feel comfortable and confident in their orthodontic journey. Outside the office, she enjoys hiking, skiing, and spending time with family, embracing all the outdoor adventures the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

“The staff here are amazing! They are kind sweet and helpful. My daughter is in the process of having braces and it was fast, easy and fun… scheduled and already on within a few weeks and there plan of action is broken down into a understandable fashion and they had multiple payment options… looove this place! Thank you to all the staff at Sound Orthodontics!”
“Can’t imagine having a better experience that what I’ve had at Sound. Great environment, friendly staff and RESULTS! I was always too self conscious to smile with my cooked teeth and wanted to have veneers put in. I visited Sound, got Invisalign and with all my real teeth, have a perfect smile now. Top notch Ortho, would recommend to anyone.”
“I really enjoy coming to Sound Orthodontics. The staff is always fun, outgoing and energetic. It seems like they really do value working with each other and care so much about their patients. The staff is always readily available and they are always working around my complicated schedule. I never have to wait long because the staff is quick, gentle and always happy to provide service at its best! Kudos to you all.”
“We love Sound Orthodontics. Both Dr. Kornte and Dr. Jack are amazing. They are kind and patient. I never feel pressured, and most importantly my kids are comfortable and confident when they are seen. Am very happy we were referred here 2 years ago. One child with braces and one just finished. I highly recommend them.”
“Sound Orthodontics is wonderful! Every staff member I’ve encountered has been great, and I’m loving the progress on my teeth. As an adult, the invisalign solution they offer is a great fit for me and my lifestyle. I’m seeing quick results and completely attribute it to the expertise of the doctors at Sound Orthodontics!”
“I love this place! Both of my kids have had their braces done here and I had braces as an adult and was also taken care of here. I highly recommend coming here! There are great financing options, and I really feel like everyone at this office truly cares about you and your family.”

At Sound Orthodontics, we believe a confident smile starts with a healthy foundation. Properly aligned teeth make oral hygiene easier, reduce the risk of gum disease, and even support better breathing and digestion.
Your smile and your overall health go hand in hand — and we’re here to help you strengthen both.
