Terms of Use

Effective Date: May 10, 2026

1. About This Website

This website is owned and operated by Haeger Orthodontics, a Washington dental practice with offices in Kent and Maple Valley. References to “we,” “us,” and “our” in these terms mean Haeger Orthodontics. References to “you” and “your” mean any person who visits the site.

The site provides general information about our practice, our doctors, and the orthodontic services we offer. It also lets you request an appointment, learn about treatments, and contact our team.

2. Medical Information Disclaimer

The information on this website is provided for general educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, or guidance from a qualified orthodontist or dentist.

Do not rely on information from this site to make decisions about your health or your child’s health. Always speak with a licensed professional about your specific situation.

If you are experiencing a dental or medical emergency, do not use this website to seek help. Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

3. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Visiting this site, reading our content, submitting a form, or sending us a message does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and any provider at Haeger Orthodontics. That relationship begins only after a formal in-office consultation and after our practice has accepted you as a patient.

Please do not send detailed medical information, photographs of your mouth, or other protected health information through the website’s general contact forms. Those forms are not secure channels for protected health information. If you are an existing patient and need to share clinical information, contact our office directly by phone or use the patient portal we provide.

4. Appointment Requests

When you submit an appointment request through this website, you are asking us to contact you to schedule a visit. The submission is a request, not a confirmed appointment. A member of our team will reach out to confirm availability, gather any information we need, and schedule a time that works for you.

We will do our best to respond quickly, but response times depend on staffing and office hours. If your matter is time-sensitive, please call the office directly.

5. Insurance and Financial Information

Any information on this website about insurance, payment plans, or treatment costs is general in nature. Coverage, fees, and financing options vary by individual circumstance and by the specifics of each treatment plan.

To confirm whether we accept your insurance or to receive an estimate for your treatment, please contact our office. Quoted figures on the website are not binding offers.

6. Treatment Results and Testimonials

This site features photographs, video, and written testimonials from real patients of Haeger Orthodontics. These examples reflect actual results from specific patients, but they should not be read as a guarantee or prediction of the results you will experience.

Every patient is different. Orthodontic outcomes depend on biological factors, the complexity of the case, patient compliance with treatment instructions, and other variables outside our control. Your treating doctor will discuss realistic expectations with you during your consultation.

7. Permitted Use of the Website

You may use this website for your personal, non-commercial informational purposes. You agree that you will not:

• Use automated tools, scrapers, or bots to access or harvest content from the site, except for legitimate search engine crawlers operating in good faith.
• Attempt to interfere with the site’s operation, security, or availability.
• Submit false information through any form or communication channel on the site.
• Use the site or its contents to harass, defame, or harm any person.
• Reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from site content for commercial purposes without our written permission.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, photographs, video, graphics, logos, the Haeger Orthodontics name, and the overall design, is the property of Haeger Orthodontics or its licensors. This content is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or publicly display any content from this site without our prior written consent, except that you may share links to our pages and quote brief excerpts for personal or non-commercial purposes with proper attribution.

9. User-Submitted Content

If you submit a review, testimonial, photograph, social media post tagging our practice, or other content for our use, you grant Haeger Orthodontics a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, and display that content in connection with our practice. You confirm that you have the right to grant this license and that the content does not violate any third party’s rights.

If you are a current or former patient and you would like content featuring you removed from our website or marketing, contact our office and we will work with you to address the request promptly.

10. Privacy and Protected Health Information

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. Our handling of protected health information under HIPAA is described in our Notice of Privacy Practices. Please review both documents.

The website uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics and to improve user experience. By continuing to use the site, you consent to that use, subject to the choices described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The website may link to third-party websites, services, or resources, including insurance carriers, payment processors, social media platforms, and educational organizations. We provide these links for convenience and do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content, policies, or practices of any third party.

When you follow a link off our site, your activity is governed by the terms and privacy practices of that third party, not by these Terms of Use.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

This website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Haeger Orthodontics disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the site is at your own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Haeger Orthodontics and its owners, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

This limitation does not apply to the professional care we provide to our patients in our offices, which is governed by the standards of care applicable to licensed orthodontic practices in Washington and by the terms of the treatment agreements you enter with us as a patient.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Haeger Orthodontics harmless from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that arise from your misuse of this website or your violation of these Terms of Use.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the website will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected on the site, and your continued use of the site after the update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

We encourage you to review these terms periodically.

17. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices, constitute the entire agreement between you and Haeger Orthodontics regarding your use of this website.
