We are excited to introduce our team to the communities of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Mountlake Terrace and Edmonds. Just seconds from the I-5 corridor, our office is convenient and accessible no matter where youre coming from. Allow us to be your local orthodontist.
What do you want from orthodontic care besides a healthy and beautiful smile? I would say something like Orthodontic care provides more than just a healthy and beautiful smile. You deserve treatment that is comfortable, finishes fast, and is affordable. Here at Spain Orthodontics, we offer treatment options that meet all three criteria. Our practice offers many different types of orthodontic treatment, making it easy to tailor our approach to you for optimal comfort and speed of treatment. And with flexible payment plan options, special financing, and our ability to work with insurance carriers, you can rest assured that quality treatment is within your financial reach.
We welcome adults, teens and children to our office. While children are supposed to see the dentist as soon as their first tooth comes in, it isnt until their 7th birthday that they should see the orthodontist. As soon as your child completes this milestone, we are ready for a complimentary initial exam. In most cases, there will be no need for treatment, but in select cases, it is best to use two-phase treatment. For our adult and teen patients, we offer a variety of nearly invisible solutions that help you correct your smile without telling the world you have braces.
Here at Spain Orthodontics, our personalized care is complemented by our positive attitude and attractive office environment. Our office is designed to be both comfortable and fun, helping to reduce any anxiety many feel regarding orthodontic treatment. We also work hard to make sure you feel empowered as you enter treatment, making you an active part of the team and consulting with you every step of the way.

Dr. Spain is a proud PNW native and grew up in northern Idaho. As a teen, he loved science, math, and music and was inspired by his parents and friends to go in to dentistry. He had a part time job with his family dentist and he loved to see the difference a great smile makes in everyones life and knew that was his calling. First, though, he wanted to explore a new country and went on a cultural exchange to Quito, Ecuador. He spent almost a year learning Spanish and visiting every historical site, beach, and rainforest he could. While that was amazing, he was excited to get back to the US and start his education towards becoming an orthodontist.
He attended Seattle University where he completed his degree in Biology and graduated Magna cum Laude. While his program was demanding, he managed to find time for pursuing his interest in music as well as leading new student orientation programs and tours.
He then attended the nationally recognized University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in beautiful San Francisco and graduated with honors. He was inducted into the University of the Pacifics dental honor society, Tau Kappa Omega, as a sophomore for academic and clinical excellence. At graduation, he was awarded the Quintessence Research Achievement Award for outstanding research achievement and the OKU Clinical Excellence Award for excellence in implant dentistry. His nerdier side loved microbiology research and he spent hours in the lab finding innovative ways to deliver targeted medicine to cancer cells. Ask him to explain what he studied but beware because he may start geeking out a little.
Dr. Spain then went to the University of Colorado in Denver and earned his Certificate in Orthodontics and his Masters of Science in Dental Medicine. During his residency, he focused on research for pain relief and improving the orthodontic experience for patients. Dr. Spain is an active member of both local and national orthodontic societies. He has a passion for working with patients of all ages and strives to use the newest information and techniques to help patients achieve their most beautiful smiles. He has experience in using Invisalign, self-ligating braces, functional appliances, TADs (temporary mini-implants), lasers, and orthognathic surgery assisted cases.
In his spare time, Dr. Spain can often be found skiing the nearby slopes or out hiking with friends in the beautiful Northwest. For the last couple of years, he has biked from Seattle to Portland with a fantastic group who raises awareness and money for cancer research and support services. This year he hopes to continue that tradition to trails around the country. He enjoys traveling, exploring new restaurants and singing along to all kinds of music.
