Services
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use self-ligation technology to reduce friction and discomfort while straightening teeth. These metal braces often shorten treatment time and require fewer adjustments. Ideal for patients seeking efficient orthodontic correction with advanced bracket systems.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom 3D-printed trays. Patients can remove them for eating and cleaning, making oral hygiene easier. This system gradually shifts teeth into alignment without visible metal brackets.
iTero Digital Impressions
The iTero Digital Impression System creates instant 3D models of teeth without messy molds. This technology improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning while enhancing patient comfort during the impression process.
Phase 1 Orthodontics
Phase 1 orthodontics addresses bite and jaw irregularities in children aged 7-10. Early intervention can correct crossbites, underbites, and crowding, potentially reducing future treatment complexity and duration.
Clear Aesthetic Braces
Clear aesthetic braces offer tooth-colored brackets for less visible orthodontic treatment. These braces combine traditional correction effectiveness with cosmetic appeal, ideal for teens and adults seeking discreet options.

I had braces growing up and seeing the night and day difference between my orthodontist and Dr. Thompson has been eye-opening and I'm grateful my kids have an amazing orthodontist! We have loved our experience here. Very organized, never waited over 10 minutes in the waiting room, made it fun for my kids with incentives (beach bucks), and quick results! Very very happy with our experience at Thompson Orthodontics! Would recommend 100%!

So pleased with Thompson Orthodontics! I needed adult braces to straighten and fix a bite problem. Dr. Thompson was awesome! I absolutely LOVE my new smile and healthy new bite! He did a great job discussing my options and helping me feel confident about what treatment would be most beneficial. The office, staff, and ortho assistants were all awesome through the whole process. I never had to wait very long in the waiting area - they were always very organized and on top of things. I now always recommend Thompson to anyone looking for a GREAT orthodontist - Thank you!

In all our experiences, the billing team was great to work with and keep me updated with any changes. Appointments were efficient, staff incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend!
