Welcome To Whitewater Orthodontic StudiosIn Yelm & Tacoma, WA

At Whitewater Orthodontic Studios, we believe that the essence of good health means helping people—especially children—feel good about themselves, about us, and about others. Orthodontic treatment is more than just straightening teeth. Orthodontics builds self-esteem and self-confidence and will nurture this kind of good health.

Our expert team, led by Dr. Andrew Leavitt, offers a variety of orthodontic treatments tailored to meet your individual needs. Whether it’s Invisalign, clear Lightforce braces, or traditional braces, we’re here to ensure you receive the best care. Join us for a unique orthodontic experience that promises excellence and a warm welcome.

We offer top-tier treatments: 

  • Invisalign: This innovative system straightens teeth without brackets, bands, or wires, making it a discreet and comfortable option for patients.
  • Invisalign for Teens: Teens can straighten their smiles without feeling self-conscious and without food restrictions, making it a popular choice for younger patients.
  • Traditional Braces: Most patients use metal braces to straighten their teeth, as they are the most common type of orthodontic treatment.
  • LightForce Braces: With LightForce’s digital imaging and planning, Dr. Leavitt can design your personalized treatment plan from start to finish with more precision and accuracy than with traditional braces.

In addition to these treatments, Whitewater Orthodontic Studios offers a range of orthodontic appliances, both fixed and removable, to cater to the unique needs of each patient.

When my sister's and I were kids we had a dentist that always said we needed work when we didn't. Having a dental professional that says nothing's wrong and sending us on our way is so amazing.

My daughter has an interesting set of teeth requiring a long plan of action. The team at Whitewater has been super supportive and explains what is going on every step of the way. I won’t say my daughter loves the process, but they make it as easy as possible and make sure she is comfortable with what is going on and why.

This afternoon my son got to say GOODBYE to braces!!! The staff at Whitewater Orthodontic Studios are top notch and give first class service to their patients and families, even provide after hours care for those unfortunate dental emergencies. Thank you, Dr. Leavitt and team for my son's beautiful smile. Our experience was 10/10.

Absolutely amazing!I have a career in the dental field and was very hesitant coming into the appointment knowing the estimate I received from a surrounding office. As soon as we were brought back and I started chatting with Charlene she instantly started to take the hesitations I had and melt them away. She was very personable and professional. When Dr came in he sat down and greeted my son first; which is huge considering the other office the Dr was in the room for less than 2 minutes. He listened to my concerns and actually looked at his mouth; which again wasn’t done at the other office. Before leaving the Dr stayed and explained the treatment plan he suggested and answered any questions myself or son had. After the Dr left Charlene sat and explained/showed my son what to expect and told him about the treatment. She included him and got him excited to start this journey. All in all I’m verrrry happy with my visit and will be starting my son’s treatment soon. There is no need to take him anywhere else when they made me feel welcomed and at home when we entered.

I am really really floored with all of the staff at Whitewater- they all know me by my first name, and always have kind words for me when I visit. I get checked in before I even have a chance to sit, and have NEVER waited more than 4 minutes max. I highly rate White Water Ortho Clinic and entire team. Very impressed and grateful for everyone on the team!

Wow! I was recommended this place by a family member. I brought both my boys here for consults (their 3rd consults between here and other ortho offices) and 3 weeks later they were both getting started on their care. My key take aways:1. Not overly busy, so lots of quality time chair side with patients. And it’s not that they aren’t busy, the chairs are always full. They simply have the patient to staff ratio just right.2. The doctor himself called prior to the boys’ consults to introduce himself and see if I had any questions he could answer prior to our first visit. Working in healthcare for 20+ years, I have never worked with a doctor that called themselves.3. They guided me through every aspect of treatment, each type of treatment, and even talked through the financing part of it if I wasn’t able to pay in full.4. Since we had our consult and started treatment on the boys, we have always been welcomed with smiles and enthusiasm.Dr. Drew (aka Dr. Leavitt) has a top tier team here to treat his patients. Thank you, doc & team!

Today, my son enthusiastically rated his appointment at Whitewater Orthodontics with two thumbs up. Becki, his technician for the day, greeted him warmly in the lobby and continued to show genuine interest in him as a patient throughout the appointment. She engaged him in meaningful conversation during his adjustments, proving that it's the little things that truly brighten one's day. Thank you, Becki, for your exceptional care and kindness!

The best ever!! From the staff, office environment, Dr. Leavitt, and everything in between- I am so grateful to have chosen Whitewater Ortho as my family/team. Throughout my entire plan, they’ve been responsive, flexible, and so helpful in learning how to navigate the process. If I can encourage someone, it’s trust the process and care!! It’ll all work out in the end.Strongly encourage that you check them out on social media and/or meet with them in person as you decide your team. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Leavitt and team!!

I came in here with low hopes of getting my problem fixed because I had poor experiences with other places . How ever I was very surprised and pleased how well they heard me out, gave me solutions, and worked with me to get my issues fixed rather quickly. Because I’m pregnant, I am not able to get x ray of any kind done due to health risks to baby. Other places said they can only give me solutions with x days; and that I must have my teeth fixed their way only. After coming in here they gave me an alternative that not only saved me money but also my teeth from shifting . They did no X-rays but spent quite some time with me to check my teeth, with tools that were not harmful to my pregnancy. I am so relieved that I got an answer and only in one week I was able to get my retainers and I’m wearing them today for the first time. I’m so happy I can prevent my teeth from shifting and that these doctors were able to help me with this problem. On top of all that they are all so kind. Very optimistic and care for you. I’m definitely going to recommend whitewater orthodontics to my friends and family. Definitely worth coming here! You won’t be disappointed!Observations : clean atmosphere, equipment new, music is not loud, there were adults as well as teens getting work done.It’s not scary here like at the dentist.Appointment wait time: they take you in quicklyFamily friendly atmosphere I was able to bring my 8 month old daughter both times. They were very kind to her .10/10

I love Whitewater orthodontics. I didn’t really think I needed it invisaline but once I started using it and I saw how much straighter my teeth became I’m completely happy. There’s a friendly atmosphere at Whitewater. Everyone’s nice and always has smiles on their faces. They get you in and out in a timely manner and it’s like being with family. I would recommend Whitewater Orthodontics to Everyone.
