Benefits of Straight Teeth


Straightening your teeth offers far more than just cosmetic improvements. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay. Straight teeth also improve your bite function, which can alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and excessive wear on tooth enamel. Beyond the health benefits, a confident smile can boost your self-esteem and make positive impressions in both personal and professional settings. When you visit our orthodontist in Lakewood, you’re investing in a lifetime of improved oral health and enhanced quality of life.

Services Offered at Comfort Dental Braces – Lakewood



  1. Traditional Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable methods for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, from crowded teeth to complex bite problems. These braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires that are adjusted periodically to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. While they’re the most noticeable option, modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, making them an excellent choice for patients seeking proven results.

  2. Damon Braces: Damon braces represent an innovative advancement in orthodontic treatment, using a self-ligating system that eliminates the need for elastic ties. This design allows teeth to move more freely and comfortably, often resulting in faster treatment times and fewer adjustment appointments. Damon braces are available in both metal and clear options, providing effective treatment with less friction and a more discreet appearance for image-conscious patients.

  3. Invisalign: Invisalign offers a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. These removable aligners allow you to eat, brush, and floss normally, making them a convenient choice for busy teens and adults. With Invisalign, you can achieve a straighter smile without the dietary restrictions or appearance concerns associated with traditional braces.

  4. Retainers: Retainers are essential for maintaining your newly straightened smile after your active orthodontic treatment is complete. These custom-fitted appliances hold your teeth in their corrected positions while the surrounding bone and tissues stabilize. Whether you receive a removable or fixed retainer, wearing it as directed by Dr. Clawson ensures your investment in orthodontic treatment provides lasting results for years to come.
