Our Ridgewood office provides Township of Washington families with convenient access to Bergen County’s most experienced orthodontic team. Since 1974, we’ve built a reputation for clinical excellence and patient-centered care that draws families from throughout the region. We understand Township of Washington residents value both quality results and genuine personal attention—priorities that have guided our practice for nearly five decades and made us the trusted choice for generations of Township of Washington families.
What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is a specialized dental process that corrects teeth and jaw alignment issues to improve both function and appearance. Using precisely calibrated forces from braces, aligners, or other appliances, orthodontists guide teeth into optimal positions while addressing bite relationships that affect overall dental health. This comprehensive approach creates not just attractive smiles but properly functioning dental systems that support long-term oral health.
For Township of Washington patients, our approach to orthodontics begins with thorough diagnostics that evaluate your unique dental structure and specific concerns. Using advanced imaging technology and our extensive clinical experience, we develop personalized treatment strategies that address your particular needs efficiently. Whether correcting crowding that makes hygiene difficult, spacing that affects appearance, or bite issues causing discomfort, our customized approach ensures results that enhance both the health and aesthetics of your smile for years to come.
OUR ORTHODONTIC SERVICES
Our advanced braces system offers Township of Washington patients effective treatment with improved comfort and aesthetics. Using specialized micro-mini brackets that are 30% smaller than conventional options, we provide powerful corrective capabilities with less noticeable appearance and reduced irritation. These modern braces deliver precise control for even complex alignment issues while maintaining a more refined profile than traditional systems.
As Diamond Plus Invisalign® providers ranked #1 in the Northeast and #10 nationally, Clemente Orthodontics offers Township of Washington patients unmatched expertise with clear aligner therapy. Our practice has successfully treated over 8,000 Invisalign® cases, developing specialized protocols that achieve exceptional results even for complex conditions that other practices might consider unsuitable for aligners.
What truly distinguishes our Invisalign® service is our revolutionary attachment-free approach, available to 95% of patients and exclusively offered in Bergen County by Clemente Orthodontics. This innovative technique eliminates the need for visible composite buttons on teeth during treatment, preserving the truly invisible quality that Township of Washington professionals and teens particularly value. Combined with fewer required office visits to our Ridgewood location and virtual monitoring options, our enhanced Invisalign® service provides Township of Washington families with superior results and practical convenience.
Maintaining your beautiful new smile requires proper retention planning and consistent follow-through. For Township of Washington patients, we develop comprehensive retention strategies based on your specific treatment history and risk factors for relapse, ensuring long-term stability of your results. We offer multiple retention options including Vivera® premium retainers manufactured with Invisalign® precision technology, traditional Hawley retainers, and fixed lingual retainers for those needing hands-free maintenance.
Every Township of Washington patient receives detailed education about retainer wear schedules and care instructions, with regular follow-up at our Ridgewood office to monitor stability. Our commitment to long-term success includes our exclusive Clemente Guarantee—if you follow our prescribed retention protocol and experience any unwanted tooth movement, we’ll address the issue without additional cost, protecting your investment in your new smile.
CLEAR BRACES
For Township of Washington professionals and image-conscious patients, our ceramic clear braces provide an excellent balance between effective treatment and enhanced aesthetics. Made from advanced translucent materials that blend with your natural tooth color, these sophisticated brackets remain virtually undetectable in everyday interactions and photographs while providing the comprehensive control needed for predictable results.
We pair these aesthetic brackets with frosted arch wires and clear elastics to further minimize visual impact, creating a treatment system that maintains your professional image throughout the correction process. Township of Washington patients particularly value this option when they need the corrective power of bracket-based treatment but prefer a more subtle appearance than metal braces provide. With appointment times that accommodate working professionals’ schedules at our Ridgewood office, clear braces offer the perfect combination of effectiveness and discretion.
EARLY ORTHODONTICS (Phase I)
Our approach to early intervention focuses on addressing development issues before they become significant problems. For Township of Washington’s youngest residents, our early treatment program uses gentle techniques to guide jaw development and create proper space for emerging permanent teeth during crucial growth periods, often preventing the need for more extensive correction later.
We recommend bringing Township of Washington children for initial evaluation around age 7, when we can identify subtle indicators of future complications while treatment options remain flexible. Using our proprietary Growth Modification Appliance (GMA), we can often transform what might require complex future treatment into a more manageable experience with superior long-term results. Township of Washington parents appreciate our conservative philosophy that intervenes only when necessary and focuses on creating positive experiences that build children’s confidence about dental care.
TEEN ORTHODONTICS
The teenage years represent an ideal time for orthodontic treatment, with all permanent teeth typically present while growth is still occurring. Our specialized teen program recognizes that Township of Washington adolescents have unique physical, social, and emotional considerations during this important developmental period. We’ve designed our approach specifically for teens, with treatment options that balance effectiveness with appearance concerns and lifestyle needs.
Township of Washington teens attending Westwood Regional High School appreciate our flexible scheduling at our Ridgewood office, with appointments available after school and during school breaks. Whether choosing traditional braces with personalization options, more discreet clear braces, or nearly invisible Invisalign® Teen, Township of Washington adolescents receive treatment tailored to their developing identities and active lifestyles. Our team creates a supportive environment where teens take appropriate ownership of their treatment journey, developing responsibility while achieving outstanding smile results.
