Creating the Smile You Deserve
Dr. Clayton was born and raised in the Savannah area. His interest in dentistry came from spending time with his father-in-law who practiced in the Savannah area for more than 30 years.
He chose to specialize in orthodontics after he saw how confident a child or adult can become after getting the smile they deserve. His attention-to-detail mindset matches perfectly with what it takes to diagnose and treat an orthodontic case effectively.
The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers more than just cosmetic improvements; it enhances oral health, function, and confidence. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of long-term dental issues.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Straight teeth minimize hard-to-reach spaces for easier cleaning.
Bite Alignment
Corrected bites prevent wear on teeth and reduce jaw discomfort.
Boosted Confidence
Enjoy the self-esteem that comes with a straight, beautiful smile.
Comprehensive Correction
Orthodontics addresses crowding, gaps, and misalignments effectively.
Better Function
Proper alignment improves chewing, digestion, and speech clarity.
Long-Lasting Results
Enjoy a healthier smile for life with proper care and maintenance.
Orthodontics for Children
Early orthodontic treatment provides a strong foundation for a child’s future dental health. By age 7, children’s mouths are still developing, and early intervention can address alignment issues before they become more complex. At Innovative Orthodontics, Dr. Waters and Dr. Clayton monitor jaw growth, correct bite problems, and create space for incoming adult teeth. This early approach prevents severe dental issues, such as crowding or impacted teeth, and may reduce the need for invasive treatments later. By starting orthodontic care young, children develop healthy, functional smiles, improving their confidence, dental health, and overall quality of life as they grow.
Orthodontics for Teens
The teenage years are an ideal time for orthodontic treatment because most of the permanent teeth have erupted, and the jaw is still growing. At Innovative Orthodontics, teens can choose between traditional braces and clear aligners like Invisalign, allowing flexibility based on their lifestyle and preferences. Orthodontic care during this stage corrects issues like crowding, gaps, overbites, or underbites, helping teens achieve a straight, functional smile. Addressing alignment problems also prevents long-term dental issues, such as wear or difficulty cleaning teeth. By the end of treatment, teens enjoy improved oral health and a confident smile they’ll carry into adulthood.
Orthodontics for Adults
Orthodontic treatment is a valuable investment at any age, and many adults are now choosing to improve their smiles. Innovative Orthodontics offers discreet options like clear braces and Invisalign, making treatment convenient and subtle for adults balancing work and family life. Orthodontic care not only enhances appearance but also improves oral health by correcting misalignments that cause gum disease, uneven wear, or jaw pain. Adults benefit from increased confidence, better bite function, and easier dental hygiene. Whether addressing lifelong issues or achieving a long-desired straight smile, our team helps adults experience transformative results at any stage.
