About Damon Orthodontics
Multiple generations of the same family have gone through braces here, with the orthodontist frequently avoiding tooth extraction for crowded or crossbite cases.
Damon Orthodontics treats a high volume of braces patients, many from families with several children moving through treatment together, and reviews often describe the orthodontist guiding multi-generational patients through the same office. Reviewers note results like corrected crossbites and overbites, sometimes without needing extractions, and describe the process as gentler and faster than experiences at other orthodontists. Staff are described as attentive with anxious or young patients, including at least one account of a child on the autism spectrum being treated with particular patience.

Amazing from start to end. The consultation, greeting, hygienist and doctor- all phenomenal. Never a long wait, always accommodating. Favorite part: when they get braces off it's a trip to The Candy Wall for all those no-no candies they missed! Highly recomend!
