We want our patients to experience orthodontics differently. It's not only about getting "braces" or "Invisalign", it's about how we work with our patients to achieve the healthy, beautiful smile that they desire. That's why we've developed a unique collaborative approach that allows the doctors to customize each patient's treatment plan using the most advanced techniques.
With clear aligners, Invisalign Teen gives you the confidence to smile - even during treatment! The appointments are flexible and easy to make! The staff is always sweet and they explain everything throughout the process and take your personal story into account with treatment. I can't recommend them enough.

I'm starting my braces journey and so far everybody I meet has been very pleasant including the 3 orthodontist! They all are very welcoming and took there time to tell me what's happening what to do and not to do! They answered all my questions and were very explanatory! And the Covid Protocols were very safe and clean.

Unfortunately, I've been very disappointed with the results. I have a gap and there are black spaces between my teeth and gums all along my front teeth which weren't there before I had treatment. Food gets stuck between my front teeth in places that are visible and it's embarrassing. I brought this up to the orthodontist when we were close to the end of the treatment and was told I would have to go back to my general dentist and have bonding or veneers done to correct it! This was a huge disappointment since I'd already paid $7,000 for the Invisalign.

I greatly appreciate Leone & Vaughn's dedication to timely service. I had both my daughters braces done at Leone and Vaughn and now that I am finally getting my own braces they are my #1 choice. They are always professional and never keep the client waiting. Best of all they provide the newest technology and products. Best choice for orthodontia.

The entire staff from receptionists to ortho techs, dental assistants, and orthodontists are wonderful! Everyone is kind, considerate, patient, and professional. They never make you feel rushed and take the time to answer all your question via email or in person. A special thank you to Dr. Leone, Becca, and Jasmine. These three ladies have been so helpful in planning my Invisalign treatment to include providing options in how I can continue forward with treatment even though I'll be heading overseas for work for most of my treatment plan. Thank you!

I took my daughter in today to start her orthodontic treatment! Dr. Vaughn and his team were exceptional. Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics are experts in their field. The team at LandV are all sincere, well trained, and very caring! My daughter was so impressed with the kindness of the team, cleanliness of the office and Dr. Vaughn's friendly demeanor. LandV Orthodontics are who I trust for my daughter and patients...oh yeah, I am a dentist!!! Thanks LandV!!!!

Everyone was friendly and welcoming, even with all the covid requirements. I felt safe because I could see all the measures they have in place to protect me. The staff, and the Doctor, were prompt in meeting with me, efficient, gave clear directions to me and did a great job explaining their analysis of my issues. They took time to explain my options and the process.

Did a full course or Invisalign here after another orthodontist incorrectly told me I wasn't a candidate and needed metal braces. Everything was easy and painless and I completed my full course with Invisalign. Love my straight new smile! I paid exactly what I was quoted and the entire process was easy and painless. I would absolutely recommend them! All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

My experience with Leone and Vaughn has been mixed. As a whole, they are friendly and easy to work with. However, I feel that they are way overpriced and the treatment my children have received has been questionable. L&V recommended that each of my children receive a palate expander (approx $3000.00 each). One child also received braces (approx $2000). This child has now been advised to enter a second phase of treatment costing $6000.00. This is absolutely ridiculous to spend over $10000 on care and I feel like a fool for not finding another orthodontist. I highly recommend looking elsewhere

Leone & Vaughn (L&V) is a top-tier provider for orthodontic treatment in the Seattle area. I was wary at the thought of getting braces, but after my original consultation in March of 2016 with Dr. Leone, I immediately felt excited at the prospect of fixing my bite/teeth with the Invisalign treatment.
I have only been to the Interbay/Elliott area office, but it was definitely a beautiful and well set up space. Everything is sleek, suave, and modern.
At every step of the way, L&V was efficient, friendly, and accurate. Checking in at every appointment was a breeze, and I was always

They give off a very money-grabbing impression, and feels like they're trying to take advantage of folks that don't know their condition very well. I'm here once while I was shopping for an orthodontist for Invisalign options. I know what my problem is. They took some imaging, had the doctor come in poke around for 5 minutes, telling me that they're not sure if it'll be affective, BUT I should start with them anyway and gave my a financial contract to sign right there?
This is how it went with the orthodontist that I'm actually working with: first visit, they bothered

I started Invisalign in October 2016, completed treatment in September 2017, and had my final check up this week. When I first met with Dr. Vaughn, I didn't think I was an Invisalign candidate due to my serious crowding. I'm very happy I was wrong and even more happy to have chosen such a clean, professional orthodontist. I spent many of my adult years being self conscious of my teeth, and my only regret is that I didn't make an appointment sooner. Dr. Leone and her husband truly are experts when it comes to straightening teeth with plastic :)

I had a great experience getting Invisalign with Leone & Vaughn. I previously had braces in high school, and since then my teeth had shifted so I was no longer happy with how they looked. I was turned away from another orthodontics office in West Seattle because they said my teeth weren't bad enough and "didn't need Invisalign" - but Leone & Vaughn were welcoming and listened to my concerns. Now with some tweaks and a little straightening/widening of my smile, I love how my teeth look.

Dr. Leone is very personable and explains the treatment plan in a simplistic yet unoffensive manner. Dr. Leone provided a realistic treatment plan with supportive explanations. The staff at the Bellevue office have--on more than one occasion, made me feel unimportant and as though they were doing me a favor. The Madison Park office has been great to work with. As another review indicated, scheduling can be a struggle. As a frequent traveler for work, it's near impossible because the staff don't always communicate from one office to the next. I wouldn't not recommend them, but I will

I have been bringing my daughter here for several years for braces. Initially, she had a defective spacer that was in 3 months. At first they thought it was our technique in tightening it until it was removed and found to be defective. So that added 3 additional months with a spacer. Not fun.
Since then it seems we are waiting at least 20 min for a scheduled visit. This has not always been the case but seems to be the norm now.
We have been pleased with professional staff, but not sure I will bring my other child here even if this is more convenient.

My journey began three years ago. That may sound long but I did not have an ordinary case, quite the opposite really. My wisdom teeth had come in fully impacted so badly my previous permanent retainer had broken off and all of my teeth shifted into a terrible cross bite. (Bottom back molars sat outside the top back molars).
I began consulting with some of the highest ranked orthodontists in Seattle. The first three I met all gave me the same answer: we break your mid-palatal suture bone and expand surgically (SARPE). This suture bone (roof of mouth) fuses when you're 13, and is not

If you have a serious case I would be very wary of going here. After seeing others post similar reviews I feel it's about time I said something.
I had my braces put on several years ago in this office, I was told during my initial consult that something looked odd about my case (just from looking at me) but they were sure my very crooked teeth could be fixed with braces only. I felt like there was very little research or thought put into my case, just get the braces on and "all will be fine."

A recent update.
I visited this office in March, and received a treatment recommendation in email in May. The treatment plan reflects exactly what Dr. Vaughn told me in the first place, very rough and general recommendations, with minimum consideration of my preference. It was nothing like what was mentioned that they would put a lot of time and efforts in research. I am not sure how they can give the best treatment plan as possible without thoroughly examining their patients.

I visited this office for an Invisalign assessment and pricing. I also visited two other orthodontists in Seattle (one downtown and one near UW) for an estimate. I did not choose this office for a few reasons.
First, Dr Leone actually made negative comments about the quality of my last orthodontic treatment (braces). I think this is not the way to "sell" me on your services. I'm already visiting you because I'm not happy about the results of my braces. Tell me that you are going to make my teeth a lot better, don't pick on the last guy. So that in general turned me off
