About Damon Orthodontics
Faster-than-typical treatment timelines and a conservative, no-rush approach to early evaluations mark Dr. Clay Damon's practice in Spokane.
Reviews often mention shorter treatment timelines here, with braces coming off six months to a year earlier than expected and quick turnarounds on repairs and retainer replacements. Dr. Damon is described as a perfectionist who avoids starting treatment before it's needed, and the practice handles a wide range of patients, from young children in early evaluations to adults getting braces for the first time. The office itself gets mentioned as modern and welcoming, and several families describe strong results holding up years after treatment ended.

My son had his braces put on today by the loveliest woman. I wish I had gotten her name because she truly took the fear right out of him. We need more people like her doing the work they do. His braces look great and they were very thorough on his care directions.

Hands down best orthodontist in town. I’m 25 and had to get bottom braces, Damon Orthodontist has made it a smooth process with a lot of laughter and jokes at each visit. My teeth are already almost straight! Once you’re a Damon customer, you have a Damon smile for life! (Just wish they were Coug fans)

Damon Orthodontics changed my life! I’ve been in treatment for bite issues and very crowded teeth since I was nine years old. At sixteen I heard I might need surgery to fully correct my bite. I tried other treatments without full success. Then I came to Damon as an adult and started braces for the second time and this time it was in preparation for surgery. I had surgery and Damon partnered with my surgeon throughout the process. It was a ride and well worth it. I spent seventeen years of my life getting help for my oral health issues and I’m SO grateful for Damon helping me get through the last chapter. I now have a healthy bite, straight teeth, good oral function and a smile I’m proud of. I’m forever grateful!

We have been coming to Damon orthodontist since August of 2024 and I can honestly say every visit we’ve had there has been nothing short of fantastic. Every visit, we’ve had we have been treated like family. Sometimes we’d get there a little early and the staff would get us in and taken care of in such a timely manner. Everyone there is always so friendly and just happy to see you. My son got his braces off today and I although we are so excited I can’t help but feel a little sad to not see the beautiful smiling faces at Damon orthodontist every other month. Such wonderful staff, what an experience it has been.
