Message From Our Orthodontist, Dr. Chamberlain
Orthodontics is not what it used to be. Today, there are very few extractions, headgear is gone, an expander on the roof of your mouth is rare and things are a lot more comfortable. The whole experience is better! As a matter of fact, we treat whole families…adults and children. My training and focus over the years has led me to think more holistically about orthodontic treatment. Our office is proud to be an “airway friendly” office. Meaning, we focus on creating more airway space and breathing as well as aesthetics and function. Additionally, we offer migraine treatment to those who suffer chronic headaches. Come and see how our office is such a different experience in orthodontics. Finally, take a look at our reviews to find what others have to say about us. I invite you to call us and see how we can help you or your family member.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
Two-Phase Orthodontics
- Phase I (Ages 6-10): Early intervention is key for correcting severe bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites. This phase focuses on facial growth modification and creating space for permanent teeth.
- Phase II (Ages 12-13): Once permanent teeth have erupted, we aim to achieve a perfect bite and a stunning smile. This phase often includes braces or aligners for optimal results.
Damon® System Braces
We offer the advanced Damon System, a revolutionary alternative to traditional braces. Damon braces are self-ligating, meaning they use a slide mechanism to hold the wires in place, reducing friction and pressure on your teeth. Benefits of the Damon System include:
- Shorter treatment times
- Fewer adjustments and office visits
- Superior comfort
- A more discreet appearance
SPARK Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are an excellent option for those seeking a virtually invisible way to straighten their teeth. Using clear, custom-made aligners, we can gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Benefits include:
- Removable aligners for eating and brushing
- Minimal office visits
- No wires or brackets
Surgical Orthodontics
For patients with jaw abnormalities or improper bites, surgical orthodontics may be necessary. This treatment involves collaboration with an oral surgeon to reposition the jaws and improve function, aesthetics, and overall oral health.
Additional Orthodontic Services
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) Treatment
If you experience jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing, you may have TMD. We offer effective treatments to alleviate discomfort and improve jaw function.
Sleep Apnea Appliances
Sleep apnea can significantly impact your quality of life. We create custom oral devices to help open your airway and promote better sleep, addressing conditions like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

Clear Aligners in Saratoga Springs, UT
Your smile is one of the most significant aspects of your personality and the first thing people notice about you. A confident, healthy smile can elevate self-esteem and improve your overall quality of life. If you’ve been hesitant to straighten your teeth due to concerns about the appearance or comfort of traditional metal braces, clear aligners offer a nearly invisible and effective alternative to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are an orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made aligners to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are made of transparent, flexible plastic, making them nearly invisible when worn.
These aligners are designed to address a variety of orthodontic issues, including:
- Overbites and underbites
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Open bites
Clear aligners are removable, allowing you to maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction. The treatment is effective for adults and teenagers alike, providing reliable and predictable results.
What to Expect from Clear Aligner Treatment
Starting your clear aligner journey at our Saratoga Springs, UT, office is simple and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, your dentist will evaluate your smile and discuss your treatment goals. Using advanced 3D imaging, we’ll create a digital model of your teeth to plan your personalized treatment.
Custom Aligners
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom aligners will be created specifically for your teeth. Each aligner will gently shift your teeth closer to their ideal positions.
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks, 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Regular Check-Ups
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our office periodically so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Achieving Your Dream Smile
Most clear aligner treatments are completed within 6 to 18 months, though timelines may vary depending on the complexity of your case.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional braces, including:
- Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal option for professionals and image-conscious individuals.
- Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks.
- Removability: Enjoy the freedom to eat your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine without interference.
