Dr. Robert Y. Chen, DDS

Orthodontic care in Tacoma’s southwest side includes Dr. Robert Y. Chen, DDS, a practice handling everything from braces and aligners to corrective jaw treatments. Orthodontists typically address misalignments, bite issues, and spacing problems—services that often start in adolescence but extend to adults seeking adjustments later in life. The office sits at 6015 100th St SW Tacoma, WA 98499, a stretch of the city where residential areas blend with professional offices.

Early evaluations, retainers, and palatal expanders are among the standard offerings for younger patients, while adults might explore discreet options like clear aligners or lingual braces. Orthodontic work isn’t just cosmetic; it can alleviate jaw pain, improve speech, and even reduce wear on teeth over time. Tacoma’s layout means this practice is accessible whether you’re coming from Lakewood or the more central parts of the city.

Questions about treatment timelines or payment plans are best directed to the office—call (253) 582-2626 for specifics. First visits usually involve X-rays and a consultation to map out next steps. For directions, the map pins the location near the intersection of 100th Street and Portland Avenue, where parking is managed along the surrounding streets.
