Metal braces in Lakewood and Federal Way

Reliable, Effective, Always on Track

At Comfort Dental Braces, Dr. Steve Clawson offers modern metal braces with the comfort and precision today’s patients expect. Whether it’s your first time in treatment or a correction from the past, this time-tested option is as dependable as it gets.

Braces Are
Better Than Ever

Metal braces are a classic treatment option that use small brackets, flexible wires, and elastics to gradually move your teeth into better alignment. They’re fixed in place, which means they’re always working—even when you’re not thinking about them.

Today’s braces are smaller, smoother, and more efficient than in years past. At our Lakewood and Federal Way offices, we customize every set of braces to your bite and goals—whether you’re dealing with crowding, gaps, or bite issues.

Braces give Dr. Clawson complete control over your tooth movement, which often translates to faster adjustments and a highly predictable outcome.

Why Patients Still Choose Metal Braces

Braces have been around for a long time, and for good reason. They’re powerful, versatile, and a great fit for patients of all ages.

Works for Every Smile

From mild shifts to complex corrections, braces can handle almost any case. They’re especially effective for younger patients and those who may not be a fit for removable treatment.

Always On

Because braces are fixed in place, they work around the clock without relying on patient compliance. That makes them ideal for kids, teens, and anyone who wants consistent progress without reminders.

Color Options Available

Want to keep it classic—or show off your personality? We offer a wide range of elastic color options, so you can keep things subtle or switch it up at every visit.

Shine While You Straighten

Your smile doesn’t need to wait until the end of treatment to stand out. With gold braces, you can straighten your teeth and show off your style at the same time.

Comfort Dental Braces offers champagne-colored brackets that combine the strength of traditional braces with a warmer, more refined look. These braces are just as durable as standard metal and more resistant to breakage than ceramic—without sacrificing aesthetics.

Whether you’re going for subtle sophistication or just want something a little different, gold braces are a confident, eye-catching choice available at both our Lakewood and Federal Way locations.
