Treatment Options

Clear Aligners

Imagine a braces treatment that doesn't use wires or metal brackets, a treatment that is virtually pain free and doesn't require you to change your current lifestyle. With clear aligners, you can straighten your teeth and experience the benefits of a great smile without having to deal with a mouth full of metal! 

Damon^™ Ultima Self-Ligating Braces

Greater comfort, fewer office visits, and better results make Damon self-ligating braces a great choice for orthodontic patients wanting straight teeth in a short amount of time. Damon Smile's self-ligating brackets move teeth into position with less force and without the need for painful extractions. The advantages of self-ligation over traditional style braces are that the doors holding the wires in place allow the wire to move easily so the treatment hurts less, is much cleaner than braces with colored ties, and gives an archform that requires fewer extractions than traditional braces.

TMJ/TMD Treatments

What is TMJ/TMD and why does it matter to you? Temporomandibular Disorder is a condition where the joints in your jaw become sore and movement is restricted. Millions of Americans suffer from chronic face and neck pains as well as recurring headaches. These can all be signs of a TMD/TMJ condition that may require treatment.

Surgical Orthodontics

Orthodontics is designed to reposition and straighten teeth, but surgical orthodontics may be needed in some cases where jaw irregularities are too severe to only align the teeth, such as with severe underbites or overbites. Surgical orthodontics coordinates the teeth into the correct arch form and the surgery coordinate the jaws to make them fit properly. This correction can improve a patient's ability to chew, speak, and breathe with improved esthetics being a nice side effect.

Dentofacial Orthopedics

Many patients wonder what it means when their orthodontist specializes in "dentofacial orthopedics". This specialization means that your doctor has training and experience in working with the management of tooth movement (orthodontics) as well as the guidance of facial growth and development (dentofacial orthopedics), which usually occurs during childhood and early adolescence. For patients with jaw discrepancies and growth potential, many problems can be corrected without jaw surgery.  Your orthodontist has the training to treat your growing face as well as maintain your smile for a lifetime.
