Braces
Same Day Braces
We know how busy you are, and we value your time. That's why we've introduced same-day convenience to our patients:
If our doctors determine you or your child are ready to begin treatment, we always reserve time in our schedule to get you started on your braces or clear aligner journey the very same day as your consultation, saving you a trip back to the office.
How easy is that?

Two Phase Treatment
Child Phase I Interceptive (Age 6–10)
Modern orthodontic techniques allow our doctors the opportunity to make room for crowded teeth in ways that generally don’t require permanent tooth extractions. You may have noticed that kids are getting braces at younger ages these days, even with baby teeth still present, and you’re right. We start children in braces at earlier ages when we have the opportunity to avoid permanent tooth extractions and surgeries down the road. Permanent tooth extractions in children and adults can often have a negative impact on the facial profile and lip support. In these cases, if we can avoid taking out teeth, it’s a good thing.
Child Phase II Interceptive (Age 12–13)
Phase II usually occurs a number of years later after the completion of Phase I (Interceptive) treatment. We usually wait for the remaining (12–16 additional) permanent teeth to erupt before Phase II begins. In this phase of treatment, which is typically shorter (compared to the average orthodontic treatment time) thanks to the work we've done ahead of time with interceptive orthodontics, we fine-tune alignment to provide patients with a signature Amazing Smile, and create an ideal, functional bite to carry them through life.
Damon System
The Damon® System
Here at our office, we can proudly say that we are the only certified Damon Educators in metropolitan Detroit. This braces system is a revolutionary take on traditional braces, fully harnessing their effectiveness while making the process quicker, easier, and more attractive.
Incredible Results in Minimal Time
The Damon System offers speedy treatment without compromising the quality of the end result. While each patient’s experience will be as unique as their smile, you may be able to complete your treatment with Damon braces months sooner than you would with other systems.
Simple, Yet Effective
Traditional braces have more parts than the Damon System, which means more time in the office, more adjustments to make, and more chances that things will slip out of place from time to time. Damon Braces are simplified in their design, yet they remain precise and effective in their treatment.
Your Time Is Valuable
While we always enjoy catching up with our patients, the Damon System requires fewer adjustments. Fewer adjustments means fewer visits to our office. And that means more free time and freedom for you.
Superior Comfort
Superior manufacturing and design means that there is less friction caused by the appliance. It also means that the appliance is easy to keep clean, which will help you feel better about your treatment.
