ORTHODONTIC DENTISTRY IN TACOMA & LAKEWOOD

Orthodontic Dentistry

Straightening teeth without all the metal

Traditional braces aren’t the only way to straighten a smile anymore.

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays to gently move your teeth over time. You wear them throughout the day, remove them to eat and brush, and switch to new aligners as your smile progresses.

No brackets. No wires. And no wondering how you’re supposed to floss around all of that.

  • Clarity™ Aligners

    Clear, removable, and custom-made for your smile. Clarity Aligners gradually straighten your teeth while fitting comfortably into everyday life.

It’s not just about straighter teeth

How your teeth fit together matters.

Crowded, overlapping, or poorly aligned teeth can be harder to keep clean and may contribute to uneven wear or bite concerns over time. Orthodontic treatment gives us an opportunity to improve the way your smile looks and the way your teeth work together.

That’s why we don’t look at alignment in isolation. We consider your teeth, gums, bite, jaw, and long-term oral health before recommending treatment.

Am I too old for orthodontics?

Nope.

You don’t age out of wanting straighter teeth.

Plenty of adults decide to straighten their smiles after living with crowding or alignment concerns for years. Others notice teeth shifting as they get older and want to get them back where they belong.

If your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment, it’s worth having the conversation.

CURIOUS WHAT’S POSSIBLE?
