About Braces

Damon Appliances probably straighten teeth faster than any other technique.

Damon braces incorporate a revolutionary 'sliding door' to hold the straightening wire in position. This reduces friction and allows the teeth to move more rapidly.

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high grade stainless steel. Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive. The braces are attached to the teeth using the same material your family dentist uses for a "white tooth coloured filling". The braces are positioned on the teeth strategically to allow the high technology wires we use to move the teeth into position.  Lower force wires can be utilized from the onset of treatment with Damon braces and this reduce the levels of discomfort associated with tooth movement.

Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires or brackets, using a clear, customized, removable appliance called aligners. It's virtually undetectable, which mean hardly anyone will know you are straightening your teeth.

To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology, like Dr. Bales, can diagnose and treat an orthodontic problem using Invisalign. Invisalign is not suitable for every patient. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you.
