Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Ideal for patients seeking discreet orthodontic care, this system offers removable trays that fit seamlessly into daily life. Treatment typically lasts 9-15 months, with visible results in months.
Damon Clear Braces
Damon Clear Braces provide a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces using tooth-colored ceramic brackets. These braces combine aesthetic appeal with effective treatment for misaligned teeth, offering durability and comfort for older teens and adults.
Damon Metal Braces
Damon Metal Braces use self-ligating technology to straighten teeth efficiently with fewer adjustments. These braces are ideal for correcting complex alignment issues, offering faster treatment times and improved oral hygiene compared to conventional metal braces.
Orthodontic Treatment
Comprehensive orthodontic care for all ages includes customized treatment plans using braces or aligners. Services address crowding, bite issues, and spacing to improve oral health and confidence, with options for children, teens, and adults.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign for Teens offers removable, nearly invisible aligners tailored to adolescent lifestyles. This treatment accommodates active schedules, dietary preferences, and confidence needs, with compliance indicators to ensure proper wear during critical orthodontic development.

Questions
When should children get an orthodontic check-up?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age seven to identify early issues and plan timely treatment.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Healthy teeth can be straightened at any age. About one in five patients are adults seeking improved aesthetics and oral health.
Why choose an orthodontist over mail-order aligners?
Orthodontists like Dr. Yu have specialized training to diagnose and treat complex dental irregularities, ensuring safe, lasting results beyond what aligners alone can provide.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment typically lasts 6-36 months, depending on complexity. Invisalign averages 9-15 months, while braces average 18-22 months.
Are there food restrictions with braces?
Yes. Avoid ice, hard candy, raw vegetables, and sticky foods to prevent damage. Invisalign users can eat normally by removing aligners.
What payment options are available?
Flexible financing, insurance coordination, and payment plans ensure affordable access to orthodontic care tailored to your budget.
