Meet Dr. Lisamarie Brazeau

I love orthodontics.

I love my patients.

There is nothing like giving a person the confidence to smile!

Technically, orthodontics is like putting together a 3D puzzle: it’s not just lining up the teeth; it’s that, plus keeping the root in bone, making them touch the other teeth correctly when you chew, balancing the bite in harmony with the jaw joint, and making the smile fit your face! A person’s treatment plan is modified each visit, as I adjust the process with the next several steps in mind.

My patients are the highlight of my day and why I wake excited to come to “work” in the morning. I view each person as part of my family and strive to give everyone the best clinical and customer care, always respectful of their unique situation.

I’m a board-certified, second-generation orthodontist, following in my mother’s footsteps. After growing up in a rural area of Wyoming, when I was 13 my family moved to Omaha, Nebraska, so my mother could attend dental school. We then moved to Florida, where she completed her orthodontic training. When I finished my orthodontic residency, my mother and I were the first mother/daughter orthodontists in a strongly male-dominated field. My mom is so proud!

Beyond the Practice

After a childhood in Thermopolis, Wyoming and adolescence in Omaha, Nebraska, Dr. Brazeau attended the University of Florida and was studying ancient Chinese literature when she met her future husband, Joe. After his graduation, the couple moved to Omaha so she could attend Creighton School of Dentistry, then returned to Gainesville for her orthodontic studies.

As soon as Dr. Brazeau finished her orthodontic residencey, the family moved across the country to Wenatchee. Elizabeth (Liz for short), their daughter, was two at the time and the drive was exhausting. They were almost in town when they got a flat tire – in Quincy! Finally at their new home, Liz spent half an hour doing log rolls on the carpet: the family home in Florida was uncarpeted!

Nearly two decades later, Liz is in college and the family is still in Wenatchee. Joe runs the practice’s in-house lab: pouring plaster models and making retainers. Liz works in the office, too; she helps at the front desk every summer.

At home, the family shares their lives with their two cats Cosmo and Patches. During what free time she has, Dr. Brazeau enjoys gardening and tending to her Koi pond.
