Orthodontic Services We Offer

Braces

When it comes to correcting misaligned teeth, traditional braces are used often. If you need help deciding whether braces are right for you, our expert staff is ready to help. In addition to the conventional metal, ceramic, and 24k gold braces, we now offer the cutting-edge Damon system, which is recognized for significantly reducing treatment times.

Clear Aligners

The convenience and aesthetic appeal of clear aligners has led to their rapid adoption as the treatment of choice for teeth that are misaligned. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners may be removed for brushing and eating. In addition to Invisalign, we also provide Spark Clear Aligners.

TMD Treatment

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a common cause of jaw pain, migraines, and other symptoms such as trouble chewing or speaking. Contact our office if you are having any symptoms related to your jaw, including discomfort, clicking, or restricted jaw movement.

Two-Phase Treatment

This treatment method focuses on repositioning the jaw rather than straightening the teeth. Children and teenagers who aren’t quite ready for full-blown orthodontic treatment may benefit from this combined strategy. Taking a two-pronged approach to orthodontic issues allows for treatment before problems worsen.

Surgical Orthodontics

Some problems cannot always be treated with braces and aligners. When this occurs, it may be time to consider orthodontic surgery. Dr. Clawson will refer you to a specialist in surgical orthodontics and will be actively involved in your care the whole way through.

Invisalign in Federal Way

Invisalign Provider in Federal Way

Comfort Dental Braces is proud to be an established provider of Invisalign in Federal Way, WA. The innovative clear-aligner treatment allows people to have an aesthetically pleasing smile while keeping their treatment subtle. Invisalign is a treatment approach that consists of a series of customized, removable aligners that are meant to gradually alter the alignment of teeth in people of all ages. These aligners are frequently favored because they produce less discomfort to the mouth and gums. Because maintenance requirements are lessened, patients can acclimate to their new appearance more quickly. Invisalign could be an acceptable choice for people who want orthodontic treatment but don’t want to wear traditional metal braces. Please request your free consultation by contacting our Federal Way, WA, office.

Braces in Federal Way

Braces In Federal Way

Comfort Dental Braces in Federal Way, WA, also specializes in orthodontic care using braces. Braces are a dependable approach for straightening misaligned teeth, whether caused by genes or inadequate dental care. Braces are an efficient way to cure a wide range of orthodontic difficulties, such as overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, and unequal spacing. You can choose from classic metal, ceramic, 24k gold, and self-ligating braces, all of which can effectively align your teeth and improve your smile. Please call us today to learn more about our braces in Federal Way, WA.

Types of Braces We Provide

We provide a variety of braces to meet your specific needs and preferences. We have a solution for you, whether you want to stand out, stay inconspicuous, or shorten your treatment time. We provide the following braces:

    • Traditional metal braces are a tried-and-true alternative for teeth alignment that can fix even the most severe issues.
    • Ceramic braces operate similarly to regular braces but with the added benefit of being more discrete. The transparent brackets on these braces make them less apparent on the teeth.
    • Our 24k gold braces are manufactured of stainless steel and coated in pure 24k gold for people who wish to incorporate their braces into their particular style.
    • Damon self-ligating braces keep the archwire in place using clips rather than brackets. This clever technology improves the comfort, subtlety, and efficiency of the braces.

Request a free consultation with our team at Comfort Dental Braces to determine which type of braces are best for you.
