Lakewood Braces
Braces remain one of the most reliable solutions for complex alignment issues for patients in and around Lakewood, and they’re often more efficient than newer systems when it comes to closing gaps or correcting bite problems. For many of our Lakewood patients, braces offer a powerful, cost-effective path to a healthy smile.
Modern braces don’t require high-tech tools or digital accessories, which helps keep them accessible and affordable. They rely on a proven system of metal or ceramic brackets and wires, guided by small elastic ties or bands.
With routine adjustments from our team, your braces will apply steady, targeted pressure to shift your teeth safely into place over time.
Clear Aligners in Lakewood
Looking for a lower-profile way to straighten your smile? Clear aligners are a popular option for Lakewood patients who want more flexibility without compromising results. These removable trays are custom-made to fit your smile and apply gentle pressure to move your teeth with precision.
Dr. Clawson recommends wearing your aligners 20–22 hours a day, changing to a new set every week or two. They’re smooth, nearly invisible, and easy to remove when eating or brushing, making them ideal for busy teens and adults alike.
As with any orthodontic plan, success depends on consistency. If you’re a good candidate for aligners, we’ll guide you through each stage and keep things moving at the right pace. Not sure if aligners are right for you? Book a free consultation at Comfort Dental Braces in Lakewood, and we’ll help you explore your options.
