Congratulations Quinn! He won a Kindle in our Back to School Contest.

This fall, our team at McClellan Orthodontics held a Back to School Contest, encouraging our patients to donate school supplies to our local YMCA for a chance to win a Kindle. Each patient that donated an item to the YMCA received an entry in our raffle for the Kindle. Quinn was the lucky winner of our Back to School Contest. Congratulations on your new Kindle, Quinn!

As always, feel free to give us a call if you have any questions about our Back to School Contest, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. McClellan.

Celebrities get braces, too!

Did you know that back in 2002, Tom Cruise had braces? During this time, he was 40 years old and filmed Minority Report, Austin Powers in Goldmember and the Last Samurai. Check out his smile in Jerry Maguire, Rain Man or The Firm and compare to the post-braces Tom Cruise in Valkyrie or Tropic Thunder. The fact is, movie stars need to look their best for the silver screen, and it wouldn't be possible without orthodontists like Dr. McClellan.


In fact, lots of Hollywood stars have had orthodontic treatment. Check out this slideshow of famous faces with braces. If you’ve thought about getting the perfect smile you’ve always wanted, please give McClellan Orthodontics a call.

Mom and dad can also have a perfect smile, thanks to Invisalign® at McClellan Orthodontics!

Hey parents! Focusing on your kids' teeth and oral health so much that you're neglecting your own? If you've been thinking wistfully about having your own set of perfect teeth, our staff at McClellan Orthodontics can help! We are specially trained to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign.

This course of treatment consists of a set of clear aligners that are molded to fit your teeth using a proprietary technology. You wear them all day and night, except for meals, brushing, and flossing – when you can easily slip them out to make eating and cleaning a snap!

Because they're clear, your teeth will be steadily straightening – and no one will know it but you!

Please give us a call to set up a consultation, so we can discuss the specifics of your treatment.

What puts you at ease at McClellan Orthodontics?

Dr. McClellan and team understand not everyone enjoys visiting their orthodontist. But we strive to bring you the best and most comforting experience at each visit. We’d like to know: What is it about McClellan Orthodontics that makes you comfortable or puts you at ease? Is it something about our pleasant office environment? Our friendly staff or Dr. McClellan?

Let us know by posting here or by giving us a call!
