Fortunately, in the modern era of orthodontics there are many choices of braces for children and adults.  In our office we have chosen to primarily use the high-tech braces called Damon braces.  We are now offering the most esthetic braces available, Damon Clear!!!  While we can also work with "mini" silver braces we have chosen the Damon System because of many advantages that the Damon braces provide.  For adults and late teens there is in some caes an alternative to braces using plastic aligners including Invisalgin.  Whether Damon braces or some type of aligners, modern treatments can be accomplished in months instead of years!.  Our goal is to provide you with the flexibility in treatment choices while maintaining a high standard of care.

Advantages of Damon Braces
Our primary reason for using Damon braces is the potential for using lighter forces to move teeth.  Dr. Del Toro and Dr. Kimes believe that the lighter forces allow the teeth to move through gums and bones in a more gentle or "biologic" way.  With these lighter force we feel that we are provided with more treatment options.  We do feel that these braces are more efficient and will probably require fewer or at least less frequent office visits.  With everyone's busy schedules, less frequent visits means less time away from school or work.
