About Us
Meet the Doctors
Dr. Paola Leone
Dr. Paola Leone is a Board Certified orthodontic specialist and innovative leader in the orthodontic profession. In addition to teaching locally at the University of Washington, she lectures nationally and internationally on treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. One of her signature topics is clear aligner therapy (Invisalign®), where she demonstrates how to predictably treat some of the most complex malocclusions using removable aligners, using the same advanced techniques we apply here at LVO.
Paola makes life outside of practice a priority as well. She loves her family and cherishes every moment she’s able to spend with her 3 kids and husband, Dr. Greg Vaughn. In her free time, you might find her performing aerial silk, speeding down black diamond runs on her snowboard, or cheering loudly at her children’s soccer games.
Dr Gregory Vaughn
Dr. Gregory Vaughn is a Board Certified orthodontic specialist and distinguished leader in the orthodontic profession. In addition to teaching locally at the University of Washington, he has lectured nationally and internationally on treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. One of his notable topics is temporary anchorage devices (TADs). When used properly, they can expand the bounds of treatment and increase treatment efficiency.
Greg loves to participate in his kids’ active lives. Don’t be surprised if you see Greg at a soccer tournament or cruising past you on a snowboard with his wife, Dr. Paola Leone.
Dr. Alissa Borda
Dr. Alissa Borda is a Board Certified orthodontic specialist who was born and raised in the Seattle area. She completed her undergraduate education at Seattle University competing in cross-country and track. Dr. Borda attended the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health where she earned a Doctorate in Dental Medicine and a Master’s in Public Health. After graduation she returned to Seattle to complete an advanced General Practice Residency at the Greater Puget Sound Veterans Affairs Hospital and practiced general dentistry for several years. While she enjoyed restorative dentistry, Dr. Borda decided to focus her career in orthodontics, loving the positive effect she can impart on her patients’ lives. She attended the Oregon Health and Science University for her orthodontic residency and earned a Master’s in Science.
After eating her way through the Portland food scene, she returned home to Seattle and began working at LVO. Dr. Borda is still an avid runner and enjoys spending her weekends exploring the PNW with her husband, Travis, and Siberian Husky dog, Luna.
