Century Orthodontics Clayton Location provides orthodontic care in Clayton, Missouri, with a focus on serving children and adolescents.
The practice operates three locations throughout the region, offering patients multiple access points for treatment. The practice specializes in early treatment, an approach that addresses orthodontic concerns during the developmental years when intervention can guide proper jaw growth and tooth alignment. Early treatment typically targets children between ages seven and ten, identifying issues such as crowding, crossbites, or jaw discrepancies before permanent teeth fully emerge. This proactive approach may reduce the complexity of future treatment needs. Century Orthodontics Clayton Location has established a strong reputation within the community, reflected in a 5.0 rating based on 85 Google reviews. This patient feedback suggests consistent satisfaction with the clinical care and practice environment. The multi-location structure provides flexibility for families managing school schedules and extracurricular commitments. The practice serves families throughout the Clayton area and surrounding Missouri communities. Parents considering orthodontic evaluation for their child should schedule a consultation to determine whether early intervention is appropriate, as treatment timing and methods depend on individual dental development and specific orthodontic needs.

The staff is friendly and genuine. Our family has been patients of theirs since the previous orthodontist retired and sold the practice to Century. Worth the drive to Manchester!
Everything was wonderful. Staff is courteous, helpful and friendly. Dr. Cavanaugh is great. Overall--coudn't be happier.
I highly recommend Century Orthodontics. I have been a patient since I was a teenager and have always had a positive experience. They helped me with my retainers years after I had braces. Dr. Cavanaugh is very professional and very kind.
We had a great experience!! The Dr and his staff explained everything to my 9 year son. They made him very comfortable and answered his many questions. 10/10
My Daughter was referred to Dr. Cavanaugh by our family dentist. We are so happy with his entire practice. From beginning to end, each member of his team was so kind and welcoming. My Daughter was nervous in the beginning, but we both feel very confident in her treatment because of how thorough and knowledgeable her new provider is. Thank you again!
