Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces using custom-made aligners. This technology gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning while achieving straighter smiles through advanced 3D imaging planning.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use a slide mechanism to hold wires without elastic ties, reducing friction and discomfort. This system allows for faster tooth movement while maintaining precise control over alignment. Patients benefit from fewer adjustments and potentially shorter treatment durations compared to conventional bracket systems.
Accelerated Treatment
Our accelerated treatment system reduces orthodontic time by 30-50% using SoftPulse Technology. This hands-free device delivers micropulses to stimulate bone remodeling while patients engage in daily activities. The 20-minute daily protocol complements braces or Invisalign to achieve results more efficiently without compromising comfort.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment in children aged 7-10. This phase creates proper space for permanent teeth eruption and guides facial development. Timely treatment often prevents more complex procedures later while establishing foundations for optimal oral health.
Smile Analysis
Our complimentary smile analysis includes a thorough clinical evaluation and treatment planning session. Patients receive personalized recommendations during a one-hour appointment with Dr. Duryea. The assessment covers orthodontic concerns, financial options, and optimal treatment timing without any obligation.
