A Quick & Easy Process
“I recently visited for myself and youngest child. Our initial visit was thorough, all of our questions were answered, and a treatment plan was decided on. I was extremely excited that we were able to start our treatment quickly. During our visit to place our braces (I also decided to get braces as an adult) Dr. Clabaugh and team answered all of our questions and taught us how to care for our teeth during treatment. Dr. Clabaugh and team have been our family orthodontist for five years and during that time, they have taken care of four of us. I highly recommend Dr. Clabaugh and team.”

Dr. Clabaugh practiced general dentistry for two years before specializing in orthodontics at Saint Louis University’s Center for Advanced Dental Education. He graduated from Saint Louis University in 2013, earning his Master of Science in Dentistry degree and Certificate in Orthodontics. He decided to practice orthodontics in Lincoln to continue serving the community that watched him grow up.
Lincoln Braces
Traditional braces remain one of the most effective and reliable tools at Clabaugh Orthodontics in Lincoln. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
This system works together to apply consistent, gentle pressure, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal positions. With regular check-ins and adjustments by Dr. Clabaugh, braces can deliver precise and predictable results.
Braces are especially effective for correcting more complex orthodontic issues. In some cases, they can even move teeth and close gaps more quickly than other treatment options, potentially shortening overall treatment time.
Because they don’t rely on the advanced technology used in newer systems, traditional braces in Lincoln also offer a cost-effective solution for achieving a healthy, well-aligned smile.
Lincoln Clear Aligners
Clear aligners have become a favorite for patients and orthodontists in Lincoln, offering a discreet and flexible alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and wires, systems like Invisalign®, Spark™, uLab®, and 3M™ Clarity™ use a series of clear, removable trays to shift your teeth into alignment.
Each set of aligners is custom-made from smooth, comfortable plastic and designed to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your progress on track, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks, following the plan created by Dr. Clabaugh.
For clear aligners to work effectively, consistency is key. You’ll need to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them to eat, drink (anything other than water), and brush or floss. Not wearing them as directed can delay your progress and extend your treatment time.
Clear aligners are a great option for treating most common orthodontic concerns. However, they may not be ideal for certain complex cases. That’s why we offer a free consultation with Dr. Richard Clabaugh at our Lincoln office — so we can assess your needs and help you decide if clear aligners are the right fit for your smile.
