Being advanced in the field, Dr. Cloward may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patients? smile. As an orthodontist, Dr. Cloward must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.
