Mentor Braces
Braces in Mentor remain the most dependable way to correct complex orthodontic issues. They offer precise, consistent tooth movement and can therefore address alignment concerns that other systems may not manage as efficiently.
Metal braces are a strong choice for patients who want reliable results with steady progress. Treatment is straightforward and predictable throughout. We use customized bracket systems from KLOwen and DIBS AI. These metal brackets are custom-designed for your unique anatomy and provide a more comfortable and faster treatment time with fewer appointments!
Modern, clear, ceramic braces are another strong choice. We use Lightforce brackets, which are small, clear, and custom 3D-printed for each patient's unique tooth anatomy. These are not mass-produced. Every bracket is designed specifically for you, therefore providing faster results.
Both metal and ceramic brackets are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than the older designs that parents may remember. Guided by Dr. Lawrence’s digital planning and dual-board-certified expertise, braces provide powerful, controlled tooth movement leading to stable, long-term results.
Mentor Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth discreetly. At our Mentor office, patients choose clear aligners because they blend in naturally, fit comfortably, and can be removed for meals and brushing.
For your convenience, we offer both Solventum Clarity and Ormco Spark aligners, fully customized systems designed for accuracy, comfort, and consistent movement. Dr. Lawrence digitally maps each set of trays to guide your teeth gradually into the right position.
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day and switched to your next set as directed. Staying consistent helps keep treatment moving on schedule and ensures your smile develops exactly as planned.
Clear aligners work well for many alignment issues, though some complex concerns may require alternative treatment. Your free consultation with Dr. Lawrence at our Mentor office will determine whether clear aligners are the right match for your needs.
