We offer the latest in orthodontic technology to provide faster results with fewer office visits. Whether you prefer the “invisible” look of aligners or the efficiency of self-ligating braces, we have the right solution for you.
Invisalign
Straighten your teeth without the look of traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable, clear plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into place.
- Virtually Invisible: No one will know you’re wearing them.
- Removable: Eat what you want and brush/floss with ease.
- Comfortable: No wires or brackets to cause irritation.
Damon System Braces
Damon braces are "self-ligating," meaning they don't require the elastic "ties" used in traditional braces. This results in less friction and a more comfortable experience.
- Faster Results: Often reduces treatment time by months.
- Fewer Adjustments: Requires fewer visits to our office.
- Easier to Clean: No elastics to trap plaque and bacteria.
Damon Clear Braces
Get all the mechanical benefits of the Damon System with the added advantage of aesthetics. Damon Clear uses ceramic brackets that blend in perfectly with your natural tooth color.
- Stain Resistant: Brackets stay clear throughout your treatment.
- Discrete Power: Combines the strength of braces with a subtle look.
- Smooth Design: Low-profile brackets for maximum comfort.

Evening & Weekend Appointments
Choosing a root canal over an extraction offers several long-term advantages for your oral health and your wallet.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Corrected Bite Function
Fix overbites, underbites, and crossbites to prevent jaw pain (TMJ) and tooth wear.
Boosted Confidence
A smile you are proud to show off can improve self-esteem in both social and professional settings.
Long-Term Tooth Protection
Properly aligned teeth distribute the force of chewing evenly, protecting your teeth from chips and cracks.
Prevention of TMJ and Jaw Discomfort
An uneven bite can place excessive strain on the temporomandibular joints and the surrounding facial muscles. By properly aligning your teeth, orthodontics helps prevent chronic headaches, jaw clicking, and the painful symptoms associated with TMJ disorders.
Clearer Speech and Articulation
The position of your teeth plays a critical role in how you form sounds. Correcting significant gaps, overcrowding, or overjets can help resolve certain speech impediments, such as lisps, and improve your overall clarity and vocal confidence.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely not! Orthodontics is used to treat all types of patients, including adults. In fact, about one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most patients complete their treatment in 12 to 24 months. Technologies like the Damon System can often shorten this timeframe.
Do braces hurt?
Modern orthodontics are designed for comfort. While you may feel some pressure or “tightness” after an adjustment or when switching to a new Invisalign tray, significant pain is rare.
How often will I need to visit the office for adjustments?
The frequency of your appointments depends on your specific treatment. For traditional or Damon System braces, we typically see you every 6 to 10 weeks to monitor progress and make adjustments. If you are using Invisalign, your visits may be even less frequent, as you will be switching to new aligners at home every week or two.
Can I still play sports or musical instruments with braces?
Yes! Orthodontic treatment won’t stop you from enjoying your favorite activities. If you play contact sports, we recommend wearing a protective mouthguard to keep your appliances and your smile safe. For those who play wind or brass instruments, there may be a short adjustment period as you get used to the feel of your braces, but you’ll be back to playing normally in no time.
