Services
Braces
Modern braces like Damon Ultima and Damon Clear brackets correct misalignments with enhanced comfort and aesthetics. These systems reduce treatment time, require fewer adjustments, and improve oral hygiene. Ideal for children, teens, and adults seeking durable, effective solutions for straighter teeth and improved bite function.
Clear Aligners
Spark and Invisalign aligners offer discreet, removable treatment for straightening teeth. Custom-fitted trays gently shift teeth into place, allowing easy eating and cleaning. Suitable for mild to complex cases, they provide a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults.
Two-Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses jaw development and tooth alignment in children. Phase one guides jaw growth to create space for permanent teeth, while phase two fine-tunes positioning. This approach prevents future complications and ensures optimal results for long-term oral health.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment. Fixed or removable options ensure lasting results by preventing shifts. Patients receive care instructions to preserve their smile, with replacements available if needed, ensuring lifelong dental stability and confidence.
Emergency Care
We provide urgent care for broken brackets, poking wires, or lost separators. Immediate adjustments and repairs minimize discomfort and treatment delays. Patients receive guidance for temporary relief until in-office solutions are implemented, ensuring continuous progress toward a healthy smile.
