Services
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets, wires, and elastics to correct misalignment in patients of all ages. They address issues like overcrowding, gaps, overbites, and crossbites. Treatment lasts 1824 months on average, with regular adjustments to guide teeth into optimal positions. Durable and cost-effective, they are ideal for complex cases requiring precise tooth movement.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses custom, removable plastic trays to straighten teeth discreetly. Patients switch aligners every 12 weeks, with treatment averaging 1218 months. Suitable for adults and teens, it corrects crowding, gaps, and bite issues without dietary restrictions. Removable for eating and cleaning, it offers comfort and convenience.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses skeletal and dental issues in children aged 67. Phase One guides jaw growth to create space for permanent teeth, reducing future extractions. Phase Two uses braces for final alignment. This approach ensures stable, long-term results and proper facial development.
Orthodontic Airway Management
Orthodontic airway management corrects breathing issues like sleep apnea through oral appliances or surgical intervention. For children, early treatment improves jaw development to open airways. Adults may require orthognathic surgery for structural issues. This service enhances sleep quality and overall health.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets for a discreet alternative to metal braces. They function similarly but are less noticeable, ideal for teens and adults. Slightly more prone to breakage, they require careful maintenance. Treatment duration matches traditional braces, with regular adjustments for optimal results.

Dr Simon and her staff go the extra mile. I have two kids that went through braces with her and I never once had a bad experience from the front office to the back they are so consistent with their professionalism. As a dental hygienist I was looking for the BEST orthodontist for my kids. I have have been so impressed with this office.

You definitely have to check out Lakewood Orthodontics. EVERYONE is friendly and inviting. Your appointments are quick, but you never feel like they rushed through your treatment. They take their time, but also show you that you value you and your time. Awesome team. Definitely the place to go. As a recent transplant to the Dallas area, I was skeptical about having to switch orthodontic offices, but I know I made the right decision with choosing Lakewood. You will too!
