Dr. Haeger's first priority is the quality of care his patients receive, and he is always looking for ways to improve his practice. To that end, he has spearheaded research in two phase orthodontic treatment, different types of braces, a new braces placement technique, and the use of computers in the orthodontic office. He sees patients as partners in developing better orthodontic practices, and welcomes honest input from the people under his care.
Dr. Haeger has been practicing orthodontics in the same Kent location since 1990. During that time, he has developed strong working relationships with dentists throughout South King County. He lectures to groups on laser uses in orthodontics, specialized orthodontic implants, and how to maximize treatment efficiency to minimize the time patients spend in braces.
