Modern Orthodontics: Damon® Braces, Invisalign®, TMJ Treatment
Braces
Damon braces are a modern, self-ligating system designed to make orthodontic treatment faster, more comfortable, and more efficient. As certified Damon Educators, Reynolds Orthodontics uses this advanced technology to reduce friction and allow teeth to move more freely, often resulting in shorter treatment times and fewer office visits. The simplified design means fewer adjustments and easier cleaning, while still delivering precise, high-quality results you can trust.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligner treatment offers a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. These custom-made, transparent aligners gradually shift your teeth into place, providing comfort and convenience. Ideal for adults and teens, clear aligners improve your smile with minimal impact on daily life. Discover the benefits of clear aligner therapy for a confident, healthier smile today.
All Ages
Early orthodontic treatment for kids focuses on guiding jaw growth and creating space for developing teeth. By evaluating children around age seven, we can identify potential concerns early and address them before they become more complex. Phase 1 treatment helps improve alignment, support airway development, and set the foundation for a healthy, confident smile as your child grows.
Airway Friendly / Sleep Apnea
Airway-friendly dental care focuses on encouraging proper jaw development and keeping breathing pathways clear. Starting around age seven, we can detect and address sleep apnea, sleep-disordered breathing, airway problems, and related issues early to help prevent future complications. This approach improves airway function, supports facial growth, and builds the foundation for a healthy, confident smile as patients grow. Additionally, newer treatments and strategies for adults can provide life-changing results. The key for both adults and children is accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Non-Extraction Treatment
Damon braces feature a modern self-ligating system that helps create natural space for teeth alignment without extractions. At Reynolds Orthodontics, our certified Damon Educators use this approach to gently move teeth into place, often speeding up treatment and cutting down on visits. Their sleek design means fewer adjustments and easier cleaning, all while delivering accurate, dependable results you can trust.
TMJ/TMD Migraine
TMJ and TMJ migraine treatments focus on relieving jaw pain and headaches caused by temporomandibular joint disorders, many of which are related to a poor bite. Treatment is often multidisciplinary, with a combined approach involving both your orthodontist and general dentist. Effective therapies may include custom bite guards, orthodontic treatment to improve bite alignment, jaw treatments to expand or advance the jaws, physical therapy, and stress management techniques to reduce discomfort and improve jaw function. Early diagnosis and personalized care can significantly enhance quality of life for those suffering from TMJ-related migraines.
MARPE
MARPE is an acronym for Mini-screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion. It is used in teenagers and young adults to widen the palate after the maxillary growth plate has closed and traditional expansion is no longer possible. Small mini-screws called TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) are used to allow skeletal jaw expansion typically not possible without surgery. Upper expansion can improve nasal air flow and dramatically improve symptoms of sleep apnea and sleep disordered breathing.
Retainers
Retainers are the final stage of your orthodontic journey and retention is for life. Your body can change, and so can the position of your teeth as you age if you don't maintain the position by wearing retainers. The retention phase is just as important, if not more, than active treatment. After your braces or aligners are removed, the surrounding bone and tissues need time to stabilize around the new tooth positions. Wearing your retainers as recommended helps prevent shifting and protects the investment you made in your smile. Depending on your needs, retainers may be removable or fixed, and our team will guide you on proper wear and care to ensure your results stay long lasting and stable.
