Damon Braces
Our Damon Braces system uses advanced self-ligating technology for faster treatment and greater comfort. This innovative approach reduces friction and appointment frequency while achieving precise tooth movement. Patients benefit from shorter overall treatment times and fewer adjustments compared to traditional braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment utilizes custom-made, removable clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This option suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic alternatives to metal braces. The system employs 3D imaging technology for precise treatment planning and predictable results.
Early Treatment
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment in children aged 7-10. This proactive approach creates proper space for permanent teeth eruption and guides facial development. Timely treatment can prevent more complex issues requiring surgical correction later.
Retention
Our comprehensive retention program ensures lasting results after active orthodontic treatment. Custom-fitted retainers maintain proper tooth positioning while patients adjust to their new bite. We provide both fixed and removable options with detailed care instructions.
TMJ Treatment
Specialized TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders through orthodontic interventions. We employ diagnostic imaging and bite analysis to develop personalized treatment plans that alleviate pain and improve jaw function.

Just a terrible human being. Refused to take kids braces off until he was paid in full. And then kept embarrassing the patient.

This is a wonderful office that has not only given our daughter a beautiful smile, but is currently giving me one as well. Very friendly staff. They explain everything very clear to you so you understand the steps the whole way through your process! Very much would recommend them!

I had braces for a couple of years when I was in elementary school. After braces, I wore a retainer for awhile. I have decent memories of going in there. The staff was friendly, and always remember the talking parrot! I remember being in the back, where I believe they had beautiful fish tanks. I remember going in for appointments, where they did things like 'tighten them' and put on colorful rubber bands.
Remember having some sore teeth at times and needing to take some medicine to feel better. Overall, am glad I had them and went there! Believe it helped me get straighter teeth and a nice smile still with me today! The bar on the bottom teeth has since popped off, but still feel things are okay! As a child, I felt comfortable going in there, which is a definite plus!

I was a patient of Dr. Shok's almost 25 years ago. I still get compliments on how nice my teeth look. I am now a mother of 3 and my oldest son is currently in treatment. The staff are super friendly and we love going to the appointments. I couldn't be more satisfied with the care and treatment we have received and if my other two boys were to need orthodontic care there is no other orthodontist I would trust more to do it than Dr. Shok. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an orthodontist. -Kelly T.
