Services
Damon Smile Braces
Damon Smile Braces use a slide mechanism to reduce pressure on teeth, enabling faster, more comfortable movement. This system minimizes discomfort while achieving precise alignment through low-friction technology and shape-memory wires. Patients benefit from fewer adjustments and discreet clear bracket options.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners offer a nearly invisible solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Custom-made trays gradually shift teeth into optimal positions while allowing easy removal for eating and cleaning. Ideal for adults seeking aesthetic and convenient orthodontic treatment.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst Appliance corrects severe overbites by guiding jaw growth into proper alignment. This fixed device promotes harmonious jaw development in growing patients, reducing the need for future surgical interventions while improving bite functionality and facial aesthetics.
Palatal Expander
Palatal Expanders widen the upper jaw to correct crossbites and create space for crowded teeth. This device addresses developmental issues in children and adolescents by gradually expanding the palate, improving breathing, and enhancing dental alignment outcomes.
Phase One Treatment
Phase One Treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children aged 7-10 to prevent future complications. By guiding jaw growth and creating space for permanent teeth, this early intervention reduces the need for extractions and simplifies subsequent comprehensive treatment.

Report
The younger bigger orthodontist was rude, impatient and unprofessional. I asked a question about my child's tooth and he made a mockery of my concern. We took our other child to a different one.

I am a new patient in the process of having Invisalign (in house) installed on my teeth! Everyone was extremely kind and took the time to explain the process and answered all of my questions in a relaxing and quite beautiful atmosphere! They run specials periodically and I found them to be very reasonable! Thank you Dr. DeFelice and staff! Ps Dr. DeFelice has the cutest puppy to greet you when you come in
