We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
The dental specialty of orthodontics is more than just braces. It also focuses on the growth and development of an individual's jaws and teeth. An orthodontist is best educated to help monitor the changes that occur in your growing child and make appropriate recommendations for treatment. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children be seen by an orthodontist around the age of seven.
For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel. When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off!
The cost of your orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Our staff will discuss with you the cost of your treatment and each available payment plan option, so that you can make the best choice for you and your smile. We will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment.

Dr. Lemery and his friendly, helpful staff are an efficient and organized team. I’m so glad my dentist recommended this ortho, who coordinated with both my dentist and my dental surgeon to give me beautiful results so that I can grin with confidence. A special shout-out to Tammy, in particular, who went above and beyond to make sure my aligners were ready at a moment’s notice at each step of my multifaceted dental program.

We brought my six-year-old in for an early evaluation. She was scared and I was worried. But everyone at Overlake Orthodontics was beyond amazing. I had my four-year-old along too, and the staff treated both girls with so much kindness. I am beyond grateful for that! Dr Lemery was very clear and patient with his explanations and recommendations, so I feel like I understand both the short- and long-term treatment goals. You know it’s been a great experience when a six-year-old can’t stop talking about how she loves going to the orthodontist!

Dr. Lemery and all the staff here are exceptional. My daughter had braces put on 15 months ago and today is the glorious day of having them removed! She is so excited, and I am so pleased with the results. With every step of the way the staff at Overlake Orthodontics were fantastic. Couldn't be more satisfied and I highly recommend!

Short Version:
If you are still searching for an orthodontist, you should probably stop right here because you aren't going to find a better place. Dr. Lemery and the whole team are absolutely incredible.
Long Version:
I had long thought that I should get things straightened out with my teeth but I was never really champing at the bit to get it done. (Ok, promise, no more puns) My dentist, who is also faculty at the University of Washington, pointed out that I was getting cavities in places that otherwise wouldn't if it were just for the fact that my teeth needed alignment. For years

Very knowledgeable & experienced Doctor + friendly and skilled team = great results.
I can hardly believe that mine is the first review. I came here expecting to add more praise for the wonderful Dr. Lemery, but seems I have to be the first to start.
I came over 2.5 years ago to Dr. Lemery at Overlake Orthodontics seeking help with not so common problem, and, after going through orthodontic treatment, the actual results have exceeded my expectations. I was suffering from increasing in frequency headaches that turned into migraines, as well as frequently chipped teeth and jaw tension. Dr.
