Braces
Braces remain one of the most effective ways to create a healthy, confident smile, and today's options make treatment more comfortable and personalized.
At McClimans Orthodontics, we offer metal braces, ceramic clear braces, and gold braces.
Not sure which option is right for you? We'll help you choose the treatment that best fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.
If you're ready to begin treatment after your consultation, we also offer Same-Day Braces, allowing many patients to start treatment without scheduling another appointment.
Clear Aligners
Looking for a more discreet way to straighten your smile?
We offer both Invisalign® and Clarity™ Clear Aligners for children, teens, and adults.
These custom-made aligners gradually move your teeth into their ideal position while fitting comfortably into your daily routine.
Because they're removable, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods, brush and floss normally, and remove them for special occasions or sports.
During your consultation, Dr. McClimans will help you decide whether clear aligners are the right choice for your smile and lifestyle.
Orthodontics for Kids
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. For many children, treatment isn't needed yet.
Instead, Dr. McClimans will monitor your child's growth, identify any developing concerns, and determine the right timing for treatment if it's ever needed.
Many of our younger patients simply visit us every six months for observation until the time is right. We believe in honest guidance, not rushing children into treatment they don't need.

Orthodontic Appliances
Sometimes braces or clear aligners are just one part of the treatment plan.
Depending on your orthodontic needs, Dr. McClimans may recommend specialized appliances to guide jaw growth, create space for developing teeth, improve bite alignment, or make treatment more efficient.
We offer a range of specialized orthodontic appliances, from palatal expanders and Forsus™ Fatigue Resistant Devices to separators, elastics, and more.
Every recommendation is based on your unique smile and long-term treatment goals.
Retainers
Your new smile is designed to last a lifetime.
Once treatment is complete, you'll receive custom retainers designed to help maintain your beautiful results for years to come.
We'll explain exactly how and when to wear your retainers and help you protect the investment you've made in your smile.

What orthodontic treatment options do you offer?
We provide comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults, including metal braces, clear ceramic braces, gold braces, Invisalign®, Clarity™ Clear Aligners, Same-Day Braces, retainers, and specialized orthodontic appliances.
How do I know if braces or clear aligners are right for me?
Both are excellent treatment options, and the right choice depends on your smile, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
During your complimentary consultation, Dr. McClimans will evaluate your smile, explain your options, and recommend the treatment that's best for you.

The first orthodontic visit is simply an opportunity to evaluate your child's growth and development. Many children don't need treatment right away and simply return for complimentary observation visits until the timing is right.
Do you offer Same-Day Braces?
Yes! If you're ready to begin treatment and your smile is a good candidate, we can often place your braces during the same visit as your complimentary consultation.
How often will I need appointments during treatment?
Most braces patients visit our office every 6 to 8 weeks, allowing us to monitor your progress while minimizing interruptions to your schedule.
Your exact appointment schedule will depend on your treatment plan.
Does Dr. McClimans personally place my braces?
Yes, Dr. Tee McClimans personally places every bracket himself. This thoughtful, hands-on approach helps create precise results while reducing the likelihood of broken brackets and unexpected emergency visits.
Do you offer financing for orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely, we offer flexible payment plans with 0% interest in-house financing and will work with you to create a payment plan that meets your needs. We also accept most insurance plans and CareCredit® financing.
