Experienced Orthodontists Dedicated to Your Smile
Dr. Jack Hou
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 Frederick Hou
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.
Dr. Asher Chiu
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.
Dr. Lauren Hagel
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.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It...

Your teeth: "Maybe we should move back..." 👀
Your retainer: "Absolutely not." 😌✋
A few hours of wearing your retainer can help protect months (or years!) of orthodontic treatment. Future you will be so glad you kept the routine going.

Your smile journey isn`t a race. 🌿
Some smiles move quickly. Others take a little more time. What matters most is that your treatment is personalized to give you the healthiest, most confident result possible.
Every appointment is progress, even if it doesn`t always feel like it. Trust the plan; we`re building something that`s meant to last. 💙
