Orthodontics
A straighter smile starts with a treatment plan built around you. Orthodontic treatment gradually moves teeth to improve their alignment and how they fit together. It can address concerns such as crowding, gaps, and certain bite problems. At Lakewood Dental of Colorado, we can evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and help you understand which treatment options may be appropriate for your oral health and needs.
Choosing orthodontic treatment begins with an evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite. Invisalign® clear aligners may be an option for suitable patients seeking a discreet, removable way to straighten their teeth.
Your orthodontic evaluation can help you understand:
- Crowding, spacing, and bite concerns
- Whether Invisalign clear aligners suit your needs
- Your expected treatment timeline and follow-up visits
- How to care for your teeth during treatment
- The role of retainers in maintaining your results

Q1. What problems can orthodontic treatment address?
Orthodontic treatment can address crooked or crowded teeth, spacing, and certain bite problems. An evaluation helps determine which concerns can be treated and whether specialist care is needed.
Q2. Can adults receive orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Adults may benefit from orthodontic treatment when their teeth and supporting tissues are suitable. Gum health, existing restorations, and other dental conditions are considered when planning care.
Q3. Are braces or clear aligners better?
The appropriate option depends on your bite, the tooth movements needed, and your ability to follow treatment instructions. Your dentist or orthodontist can explain the benefits and limitations of each suitable approach.
Q4. Will I need a retainer after orthodontic treatment?
Retainers help maintain tooth position after active treatment. Your provider will explain which type to use and how often to wear it. Teeth can shift again if retainers are not worn as directed.
We provide compassionate, advanced dental care that delivers lasting confidence and healthy smiles.
