Smile Elements Orthodontics provides orthodontic treatment utilizing Damon braces, Invisalign braces, and orthodontic appliances.
The Damon System is not just a new product; it's a whole new way of treating patients. Damon smiles are full, natural 10-tooth smiles achieved with light biologically-sensible forces, and are specifically designed to improve the overall facial result of each patient.
We are proud to offer new Damon® Q braces: the all-new, all-metal, self-ligating braces system that goes above and beyond to increase patient comfort and reduce overall treatment time while straightening your teeth. Damon® Q represents the latest advances to the Damon® self-ligating braces system, featuring brackets made entirely of high-grade stainless steel, making them strong and extremely durable. The brackets also have smoother, more rounded corners to help provide greater comfort for the patient and to appear even less noticeable than normal Damon® braces!
Damon® Q braces feature removable positioning gauges to help ensure your orthodontist places the brackets in the perfect position to give you a great-looking smile! If you want a beautiful smile, please contact us for more information on the latest revolution in self-ligating braces: Damon® Q!
Damon® Clear - the passive self-ligating bracket whose beauty is more than skin deep. Damon® Clear combines the look and comfort image-conscious patients demand with the strength and functionality discriminating clinicians need. Validated by multi-site in vivo studies and third-party university research, Damon® Clear is more than meets the eye.
Invisalign offer a clear alterative to braces. A series of clear trays align teeth without anyone noticing you are in treatment. The development of next-generation high-technology adult orthodontic products uses 3-D computer imaging to design and manufacture customized clear removable orthodontic appliances called "aligners." As an alternative to conventional orthodontic therapy, aligners are essentially undetectable and comfortable to wear. A high level of detail in treatment planning and impression taking is necessary to ensure a proper fit. State-of-the-art computer technology is used to fashion the treatment program and the removable aligners. The concept behind this newer technology utilizes a series of customized removable aligners for the duration of treatment from start to finish. Each aligner in the series represents a 2-week stage in the treatment program. The removable system is effective only for mild to moderate crowding or spacing, and is also designed to treat relapse cases. Not everyone is a candidate for "Invisalign," but we'll be happy to have a look and advise you of the possibilities.
Unlike bulky, one-piece functional appliances, the Twin Block has separate, unattached upper and lower bite block components - actually two appliances which work together as one. In function, these two appliances interlock at the 70 degree angle set into the bite blocks and posture the mandible forward into the ideal bite. This appliance is easy to wear and clean for younger patients. The use of functional jaw orthopedics, at the correct time during growth, can ultimately result in maloccluded patients achieving a broad, beautiful smile, an excellent functional occlusion, a full face with a beautiful jaw line and lateral profile and, most important of all, a stable and healthy temporomandibular joint.
Holding arches maintain space in the dental arches for permanent teeth when primary dentition has been lost pre-maturely. The appliances are bonded into place, small, fairly unnoticeable and relatively well tolerated.
