Changing Lives, One Smile at a Time
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, we go beyond just straightening teeth. Dr. Richard Clabaugh and his team are committed to providing expert care, a welcoming atmosphere, and a treatment process that fits as seamlessly as possible into your life.
They Make Braces Enjoyable
“Absolutely love the entire team here! Super friendly and very outgoing, they make each visit so accommodating. Dr. Clabaugh is the man, such a hard working, personable, and caring guy. Makes the ‘scary’ process of having braces actually enjoyable and cares for all of his clients. Thank you for making my smile look good for the last 10 years, and cheers to many more!”
— Samuel G.
They Care About YOU
“The team at Clabaugh is your dream ortho provider: transparent, helpful, and most importantly… kind!! They are your ideal combination of ambitious and cautious when it comes to getting you your perfect smile. From the big picture (your actual results) down to the smallest details (locally supported treats and personalized office experiences), it is clear they care about you as a patient AND person. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else!”
— Hannah J.
Improving Lives Through Smiles
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, we believe improving smiles has the power to improve lives. That’s why we make treatment as convenient as possible, offering same-day starts for braces or aligners to help families save time and avoid unnecessary missed work or school.
We know that orthodontic care is an investment — not just in straighter teeth but in greater confidence, oral health, and a contagious, authentic smile.
Our team believes every person is created with value and deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion. At Clabaugh Orthodontics, improving smiles isn’t just our job — it’s our way of making a difference in people’s lives.
You'll Feel Like Family
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, our patients often say they feel like part of the family — and that’s exactly how we want it to be. From your first visit to your final appointment, we’re here to support you, celebrate your progress, and make you feel genuinely valued.
Your smile matters to us, but so does your experience, and we’re committed to making every step of your journey comfortable, personal, and enjoyable.

Board-Certified Expertise
Dr. Clabaugh has been board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics since 2014, reflecting his dedication to excellence in patient care.
Unlike some practices where treatment is heavily delegated, Dr. Clabaugh personally oversees your progress at every visit, ensuring that your smile is in expert hands from start to finish.
This hands-on approach means you’ll get consistent, high-quality care tailored to your unique needs. With Dr. Clabaugh guiding your treatment every step of the way, you can feel confident that your smile transformation is in capable and caring hands.
Using Your Time Well
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, we believe in doing the right things, at the right times, for the right reasons. That means putting your needs first and making your orthodontic experience seamless.
We know your time is valuable, so we offer same-day starts for braces or clear aligners. When you come in for an exam, we’re ready to begin treatment that same day, helping you or your child stay on track while avoiding extra trips, or additional absences from work or school.
Got Our Braces the Same Day
“We just went in for a consultation this morning and felt so comfortable we had braces put on the same day. We were amazed at the whole process from their welcoming faces, payment options, and hearing Christian music was an added bonus. We'll definitely recommend this office to everyone! I'm excited for my daughter to finally have the smile she deserves.”
— Ashley
Personalized, Patient Care
“Dr. Clabaugh and his staff have been awesome the last 2.5 years. I brought my daughter in originally because she had severe crowding and a bad overbite that was causing issues to her teeth. My daughter is autistic and was having sensory issues as she was unsure of the process. Dr. Clabaugh and his staff handled her in such an amazing way and were super patient with her. I want to thank each of you for everything you have done for my daughter the last 2.5 years! You guys are amazing!”
— Lauren B.
Personalized Smile Plans
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, we believe that excellence is never an accident — it results from intentional care, personalized treatment, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Every smile is unique, and your treatment plan should be, too.
Dr. Clabaugh takes a customized approach to your orthodontic care. We design and fabricate clear aligners for mild to moderate cases in our office.
This in-house process means faster turnaround times, quicker access to your aligners, and a more seamless experience from start to finish.
Affordable Smiles for Every Family
A beautiful smile is an investment in your future, and we’re here to make it achievable for everyone. Financial concerns shouldn’t stand in the way of a confident, healthy smile, so we’ve partnered with OrthoFi to make orthodontic care more flexible and accessible for your family.
OrthoFi allows you to customize your payment plan, putting you in control of your budget while getting the high-quality treatment you deserve.
With flexible financing options and an easy-to-use system, we make the financial side of orthodontics simple — so you can focus on what really matters: your smile.
Easy & Affordable Payments
“Loved Dr. Clabaugh and his staff, made my granddaughter feel special from the moment we enter the office! I was so worried about the cost, but his easy affordable payment plans, had my child on her way to a great smile the very next day! Thanks for taking the time to make the process painless!”
— Tammy M.
A Wonderful Experience
“From the moment we walked in it was a wonderful experience. They walk you through every step and take the time to answer any and all questions. My 15 year old daughter told me several times how safe and comfortable she felt. I completely recommend them!”
— Jed J.
Advanced & Efficient Technology
Dr. Clabaugh uses the latest technology to make your treatment smoother, faster, and more precise. Our iTero digital scanner eliminates messy, uncomfortable impressions to give us a highly accurate 3D image of your teeth without the goo.
With in-office 3D printing, we can quickly create custom aligners and retainers, ensuring a perfect fit while reducing wait times.
Digital X-rays provide high-quality diagnostic imaging with a lower radiation dose than traditional film X-rays so your safety remains a top priority. Combining advanced technology with expert care makes orthodontic treatment more comfortable and efficient from start to finish.
Serving Our Community
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, we believe in giving back to the community that trusts us with their smiles. Whether supporting local schools, sponsoring events, or giving our time to meaningful causes, we’re dedicated to making a positive impact — both in and out of the office.
