This year, Molen Orthodontics was honored to receive this award for our 13th consecutive year!

One of the greatest gifts that we receive is hearing from our happy patients. Whether they inform us in the form of an online review, social media shoutout, or simply compliment our team in person, we love knowing that our patients are happy when they leave our office. Another very important part of our practice is our team! We couldn’t accomplish all that we do without every team member and the important role that they play. Ensuring that we maintain a great work culture is very important to us, especially when we are often at work more than we are at home! From treating our team to lunch so ..read more

The excitement of something NEW! Whether it is a new outfit, new car, new braces, or even a new year, there is an exciting feeling that comes with something “new”. By reflecting on the year 2020, we think of how we have grown, all that we have experienced, and what we plan to do differently in the coming new year. A fresh page, blank slate, and still a feeling of excitement toward something new!  We have reflected on the 2020 year and even though we overcome large hurdles, we are beyond grateful. We had an incredible year and have our amazing patients and wonderful team to thank.  O ..read more

It was a Tuesday at our Sumner location when Dr. Chris worked his first day seeing patients!
