Top-Rated Lakewood Orthodontics Office

Comfort Dental Braces in Lakewood, WA, is a single-service provider, which means you’re only seeing one orthodontist throughout your treatment. We prefer it this way so that our patients can get individualized attention from their providers, making them feel more comfortable and cared for. Dr. Steve Clawson is a board-certified orthodontist as well as a member of the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontics. With his years of experience and knowledge, he provides his patients with tailored treatment plans and one-of-a-kind care. Contact Comfort Dental Braces today to request a free consultation with Dr. Clawson.

Orthodontic Services We Offer

Braces

The use of conventional braces is one of the most widely used treatments for straightening teeth. Our professional team is here to assist you if you need assistance selecting the best braces for you. We provide the more innovative Damon system, which is renowned for drastically shortening treatment times, in addition to the more traditional metal, ceramic, and 24k gold braces.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are increasingly replacing metal braces as the treatment of choice for misaligned teeth due to their removability and cosmetic advantages. Clear aligners are effective and can be removed easily so you can brush your teeth and enjoy your favorite foods. We currently offer Spark Clear Aligners in addition to Invisalign.

TMD Treatment

TMD, also known as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, is a form of jaw pain that results in headaches, difficulty chewing or speaking, and other discomfort. If you are experiencing any form of pain in your jaw, headaches, or your jaw clicks when you open it, contact our office, and we will provide you with our treatment options.

Two-Phase Treatment

Rather than prioritizing the correction of tooth misalignment, this treatment method involves adjusting the position of the jaw. This dual approach can be advantageous for children and adolescents who are not yet prepared for comprehensive orthodontic treatment. By adopting a two-stage approach to orthodontic concerns, it is possible to address issues at an early stage before they worsen.

Surgical Orthodontics

Some issues cannot always be resolved with braces and aligners. In these cases, surgical orthodontics may be used. For surgical orthodontics, Dr. Clawson will recommend you to a doctor and work with them the entire time to ensure a safe and successful treatment.

Invisalign Provider in Lakewood

Invisalign Provider in Lakewood

We at Comfort Dental Braces are pleased to be a top provider of Invisalign in Lakewood, WA. The innovative clear-aligner treatment enables individuals to achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile without any visible indication of wearing braces. Invisalign is a treatment method that involves a sequence of personalized, detachable aligners designed to progressively adjust the positioning of teeth in individuals of all ages. These aligners are preferred in many cases due to their ability to cause less irritation to the mouth and gums. Patients can also adjust to their new appearance more rapidly since maintenance requirements are reduced. Invisalign may be a viable solution for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment without the desire to wear conventional metal braces. Please request a free consultation by contacting our office in Lakewood, WA.

Braces in Lakewood

Braces In Lakewood

Comfort Dental Braces also offers orthodontic treatment with braces in Lakewood, WA. Braces are a reliable method for correcting misaligned teeth, whether the condition is caused by genetics or poor dental care. Braces are an effective solution for correcting a variety of orthodontic issues, including overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, and uneven spacing. There are several types of braces available to you, such as traditional metal, ceramic, 24k gold, and self-ligating braces, each of which can efficiently align your teeth and enhance your smile. Please contact us right away to learn more about our braces options in Lakewood, WA.

Types of Braces We Provide

We provide a few different types of braces in order to suit your needs and style. No matter whether you’re looking to stand out, remain discreet, or speed up your treatment time, we have an option for you. Types of braces we provide include:

    • Traditional – Traditional metal braces are a classic, trusted option for teeth alignment, capable of correcting even the most severe cases.
    • Ceramic – Ceramic braces function much the same as traditional braces but with the added benefit of subtly. These braces have clear brackets, making them less visible on the teeth.
    • 24k Gold – For those who want to make their braces part of their own personal style, our 24k gold braces are made up of stainless steel and coated in pure 24k gold.
    • Damon Self-Ligating – Our self-ligating braces use clips rather than brackets to hold the archwire in place. This smart technology makes the braces more comfortable, unobtrusive, and efficient.

To find out which type of braces is best for you, request a free consultation with Comfort Dental Braces.

I’ve had braces for about a year now, and Dr. Steve has been great. The whole process has been a lot easier than I thought. The team is friendly and always makes sure I’m comfortable during each visit. I’m so excited to see the final results, and my smile is already looking so much better!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!

The affordability of their services is also a plus, making their services accessible to anyone. Overall, I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high-quality and cost-effective orthodontic care. Corina, the manager, is also pleasant and helpful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We do everything in our power to make scheduling, completing, and following up on patient appointments as seamless as possible.
Amy
Getting braces here has been a surprisingly smooth experience. I was nervous at first, but everyone there made me feel at ease right away. The setup is efficient, and they’re really good about checking in on how everything feels. Dr. Steve is straightforward and honest, which I really appreciate. I didn’t expect to notice changes this early, but it’s been motivating. Definitely glad I chose this place.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!
Abraham D.
had a great experience getting orthodontic work done and was especially impressed with how they helped me secure the best possible pricing. From start to finish, everything was transparent, professional, and smooth. A special thanks to Liset, who was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire process. She made sure I understood all my options, answered every question patiently, and truly went above and beyond to make the experience comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
Kenny F.
Super impressed with how knowledgeable Dr. Steve is. He explained everything clearly, and the pricing was very fair compared to other offices.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!
Chloe T.
I’m still new to this place, but since I’ve started I’ve had a wonderful experience. The front office ladies are incredibly helpful, especially Corina!! She has done everything to help me involving some money issues and so much more. I love this place and would definitely recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Chloe! We're delighted to hear that you've had a positive experience and that Corina was able to assist you. We look forward to continuing to serve you!
Emmanuel S.
Corina has been very helpful and friendly. Facility is in great and clean condition and i would recommend it to anyone.
Response from the owner:"Thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience, and we truly appreciate your support."
R Z (.
I have developed so much dental phobia/trauma over my 35 years of life BUT I can safely say, A LOT of that has been mollified by Dr. Scott and the staff at comfort dental. I just had 3 fillings done today and aside from a little tugging and a little pressure, I felt NOTHING. Dr. Scott was very quick and thorough while checking in and making sure I was doing fine. The hygienist (I didn't catch her name) was very kind and patient as well. The front desk staff is always friendly and professional upon arrival. So, I definitely recommend comfort dental for anyone that is hesitant and or nervous about getting dental work done. They will take good care of you<3
Response from the owner:"Thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience, and we truly appreciate your support."
Joann V.
My oldest is currently getting braces here. Everyone has been so kind and helpful. Dr. Steve is patient and explains everything thoroughly and clearly. Lupe and the rest of the office staff and hygienists are lovely and have given excellent care and service.

My youngest will also come here for braces when she is old enough.
Response from the owner:"Thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience, and we truly appreciate your support."
Gaby V.
Muy buen servicio 🤩Gracias a Lupe 🙏ella nos ayudó mucho a entender lo que con lleva el servicio de braces y así fue muy fácil tomar la decisión.
Response from the owner:"Thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience, and we truly appreciate your support."
Youngbull W.
I had a great experience. My teeth weren’t the worst but i had been wanting to get them straightened for years. Dr.Steven has a good vision for what straight teeth should look like on a case by case basis with his patients. Very friendly, high energy guy as well. I would highly recommend people looking for orthodontists to come here. My teeth look great!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Youngbull! We're thrilled to hear that you are pleased with your results and Dr. Clawson's approach. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming more patients like you in the future!
Kyler M.
I recently completed the Spark dental aligner program at Comfort Dental with Dr. Steven, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the initial consultation to the final adjustments, the entire process was smooth and professional. Dr. Steven took the time to explain each step and answer all my questions, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout. The results are amazing, and I truly believe it was worth every cent. I highly recommend Comfort Dental for anyone considering braces or aligners!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!
Anna A.
My daughter had a dental emergency and this was the only place that was open. They were super accommodating made my daughter feel very comfortable. The service was excellent, and they went above and beyond for her. The dentist was very kind and helped us get a referral to another pediatric dentist since this office was not equipped for pediatric patient emergencies like this. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!
