Dr. Straffon Was the Best Option
As an adult with jaw and bite alignment issues along with crooked teeth, I went to three different orthodontists, and after consulting with them and my dentist, I felt like Dr. Straffon was the best option.

Greenwood Village Braces
Self-ligating metal braces at 303 Smiles in Greenwood Village are an excellent choice for addressing complex tooth issues. These braces often work more efficiently than other treatments, potentially reducing overall treatment time. Self-ligating braces use a unique mechanism that eliminates the need for elastic bands, allowing the braces to apply gentle, continuous pressure to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions.
Made from high-quality metal, self-ligating braces are one of the most effective orthodontic tools available. They require fewer adjustments than traditional braces, making your orthodontic journey with Dr. Straffon more convenient.
Additionally, self-ligating braces are a cost-effective option, as they don’t rely on some of the more complex technology associated with newer treatments. With regular check-ups at 303 Smiles, these braces can help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile.
Greenwood Village Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular choice among our patients at 303 Smiles in Greenwood Village, offering a top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of using brackets and wires, the Invisalign system employs a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These aligners are made from a comfortable plastic material and are custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth.
To ensure your teeth move as planned, you'll need to switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, following Dr. Straffon's guidance. Wearing the aligners for 20 – 22 hours per day throughout treatment is essential for the best results. Failing to do so can delay progress and extend the treatment time.
While Invisalign is effective for many common orthodontic issues, a free consultation at 303 Smiles will help determine if it's the right option for your specific needs.
Greenwood Village Braces & Invisalign: Find the Treatment for You
Dr. Straffon has lots of experience providing customized treatment plans for each individual patient. When you visit our offices in Greenwood Village for a free consultation, our talented team will pay special attention to your particular orthodontic needs, as well as your specific tooth shape, lip movement, and face shape.
Using these as the basis for braces or Invisalign treatment results in a beautifully aligned smile that’s just right for you. To learn more about Greenwood Village orthodontics, schedule your free consultation with 303 Smiles.
