Comprehensive Orthodontics in Scotts Valley for Every Smile

Our team provides comprehensive orthodontic services that address both the functional and esthetic aspects of your smile. We believe that orthodontic treatment should not only ensure properly aligned teeth and a correct bite but also enhance the overall appearance of your smile.

Modern Braces Treatment

No two smiles are exactly alike, which is why we offer several braces options, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, LightForce™ custom braces, and self-ligating braces. Many patients are also eligible for same-day braces starts, so you can begin treatment on the same day as your consultation.

View Our Braces Options

Invisalign Clear Aligners

We offer Invisalign® clear aligners for kids, teens, and adults looking for a discreet, flexible way to straighten their smiles without using braces. Each aligner is custom-made for comfort and precision, and when possible, same-day digital scans are available during your complimentary consultation.

Discover the Benefits of Invisalign

Early Orthodontics for Kids

Early orthodontic treatment helps guide proper jaw growth and create space for developing teeth during childhood. By monitoring and addressing concerns early, we can support healthy smile development while providing a comfortable and positive experience for young patients and parents alike.

Explore Phase 1 Treatment

Custom Retainers

Maintaining your results is just as important as achieving them. We offer custom Hawley, Essix, and Vivera® retainers to help keep your smile on track. From replacement retainers and repairs to ongoing support through our Retainers for Life Program, we are always here to help, even if your orthodontic treatment was completed at another practice.

Rita S.
My daughter had a great experience here. She liked using Invisalign and was grateful she had the option to do it in place of traditional braces. The appointments were fast and easy to fit in before school. Overall a great experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Rita! We're delighted to hear you had a great experience and that our facility met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you and your kids back soon!
LWD
We just finished up several years of treatment between our two kids with North Coast Orthodontics. Thats means we were visiting the office fairly consistently for around 13 years! All along the way it has felt like more than a Doctor/Patient relationship. Our kids were met with warmth, humor and respect. Both of our children were very anxious at various times over the course of their treatment and every time the doctors and staff always honored what they needed to feel good about the next steps. And, their teeth look amazing!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that both of your children felt supported throughout their treatment. It’s our pleasure to provide a caring environment and achieve such fantastic results. --- North Coast Orthodontics 1830 41st Avenue Capitola, CA 95010 (831) 427-2237 https://northcoastortho.com/
Jennifer B.
We can’t say enough about our experience with North Coast Orthodontics! Doctors Schabel and Chan and their staff were always friendly and kind. They thoroughly explained each step in the process from the braces to the retainers. Our daughter’s smile is stunning! We highly recommend North Coast!😁
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jennifer! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Schabel, Dr. Chan, and our team. It's wonderful to see your daughter's stunning smile. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
jennifer M.
I got braces as an adult. My complimentary visit was nerve wrecking but the team eased my mind and I got braces. It took less than 2 years for my teeth to straighten and I’m blown away. The service with North Coast Orthodontics was exceptional. I highly recommend this place!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our team helped ease your nerves and that your braces journey exceeded your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Chelsea M.
I am 47 years old and I finally got adult braces (Invisalign) and I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Dr. Schabel, Dr. Chan, and the whole staff at NorthCoast Orthodontics. Everyone is so professional and knowledgeable, the office is clean and relaxing. You can tell the employees are taken care of because everyone seems happy and helpful. The cost of everything was much cheaper than the other two quotes I got from local orthodontists and the best part was how willing they are to work with your finances. This flexibility combined with how comfortable I felt in the office made the experience amazing. It truly feels like they are here to help people and we’re lucky to have them in our community.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Chelsea, for your wonderful feedback! It’s great to hear about your positive experience with our team. We strive to provide comfortable care and flexible financial options. Your support means a lot to us!
Luke P.
Friendly staff and paid close attention to detail throughout the Invisalign process. Clean and professional office!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Luke! We appreciate your kind words about our attentive staff and clean environment. It's wonderful to know that your Invisalign experience was positive. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!
Cheryl W.
North Coast Orthodontics is great! The staff is really friendly and three of my children have received great care from them. Thank you, North Coast!
Response from the owner:Thank you Cheryl for trusting us with your family's orthodontic treatment. We are lucky to have patients like you all. -Team NCO
Thien M.
North Coast has been helping two of my kids with braces and Invisalign. Drs Chan and Schabel are very kind and have tons of experience. They are flexible and very willing to adjust to our changing needs. Their staff is welcoming, friendly, and professional. I certainly recommend them for your orthodontic needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! It's great to hear that your children have had positive experiences with Drs. Chan and Schabel. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to meet your orthodontic needs.
Ahmad Rezaei M.
We’ve had a great experience with North Coast Orthodontics. My son started his treatment about six months ago, and it’s still ongoing. The team is very caring, professional, and always makes him feel comfortable. The clinic and treatment areas are extremely clean and hygienic. They’re also very accommodating, they’ve fixed his broken braces a couple of times and even squeezed us in the same morning when I called. We truly appreciate their responsiveness and excellent care. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Ahmad! We're delighted to hear about your son's positive experience with our caring team. Your appreciation of our responsiveness and clinic cleanliness means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing his treatment!
Oscar R.
I’ve had a great experience so far at North Coast Orthodontics in Santa Cruz with Dr. Schabel and his team. From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming, professional, and attentive, which immediately made me feel comfortable. Dr. Schabel took the time to explain the process clearly and made sure my questions were answered, which I genuinely appreciated. Jenny, who helped prepare me for my braces, was kind, patient, and reassuring throughout the appointment. I had the top braces placed today, and the entire visit felt smooth and well organized. It’s clear the team truly cares about their patients and the quality of their work. I’m grateful for the care I’ve received so far and look forward to continuing treatment, including getting the bottom braces in about six months. I would confidently recommend North Coast Orthodontics to anyone considering orthodontic care.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Oscar! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Schabel and our team. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We look forward to continuing your treatment!
kaili R.
We have been seeing North Coast for all three kids and have had great treatment for years, consistently. The staff from the front desk to the treatment area are all very friendly & helpful. I appreciate the doctors taking our kids needs into consideration & always working w us.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that your family has consistently received great treatment from our friendly team. Your appreciation for our doctors means a lot. We look forward to continuing to serve you!
Michael W.
North Coast and Dr. Schabel have been fantastic helping us navigate through a long process of braces and Invisalign with our two children. We highly recommend and thank them for all their help. The results and smiles are fantastic!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Michael! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're delighted that your children are enjoying their new smiles!
Brooke S.
I had wavered most of my life about whether I should spend the money to fix the spaces in my teeth. I have to say, it was worth every penny—and the time flew by. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend taking the leap and investing in yourself and your smile. This office is phenomenal, and I’m so thankful for the care they took with my smile. I am forever grateful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found value in your investment and appreciated our team's care. Your smile transformation is our priority, and we’re grateful for your trust!
Rob H.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that your kids have had positive experiences with us. Our team is committed to providing friendly and flexible care for all our patients.
Jessica Z.
We had a great experience with NorthCoast Orthodontics! Highly recommended. We had 2 kids with Invisalign and 2 different experiences of ensuring they are using them appropriately. Overall, we are very happy with Invisalign and NorthCoast!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jessica! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with Invisalign and our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to support your family's orthodontic journey!
