In an effort to provide our patients with the very latest in orthodontics, we are proud to offer new Damon Q braces: the all-new, all-metal self-ligating braces system that has gone above and beyond to increase patient comfort and reduce overall treatment time while straightening your teeth.
What makes the Damon System different?
- Tie-less braces that don't need to be "tightened" and are gentle to the teeth and tissues.
- High-technology, memory-shape wires that quickly move teeth and require fewer adjustments.
- A clinically proven treatment approach that aligns teeth and enhances facial esthetics.
- Smaller bracket with rounded edges which makes them more comfortable and easier to keep clean than conventional braces.
Fast treatment time and few office visits
With the Damon System, treatment time is typically shorter than with traditional braces. Shorter treatment time means fewer appointments and a beautiful smile...faster. You may be surprised at how fast!
Outstanding comfort
The days of having braces tightened are over. The Damon System uses tie-less brackets that reduce the pressure on your teeth, allowing them to move more comfortably to their correct positions. This innovative approach to orthodontics ensures greater comfort throughout treatment.
For people of all ages
Straight teeth and a beautiful smile can enhance self-esteem and self-confidence at any age, plus improve overall oral health. It's never too late to look and feel great.

Invisalign®
Introducing Invisalign® — The Straightest Way to a Great Smile
Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.
Clearly Different
The Invisalign® System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign® aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign® is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign® uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners -- as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually -- week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!
Please visit our information pages if you want to learn more about how Invisalign® works.
To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign®. Invisalign® is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. To see if Invisalign® can help you achieve the smile you've always wanted, call us at 803.327.1144 (Rock Hill) or 803.631.5508 (Lake Wylie) to make an appointment.
Digital X-rays and Photography
We are proud to utilize the latest technology available to ensure our patients enjoy the best results. Our digital X-rays are taken by a state-of-the-art, Planmeca Digital Panoramic/Cephalometric machine. These X-rays offer higher resolution and much lower radiation than traditional film-based machines. The images are also easy to share with your dentist or other health care providers. We use high-resolution digital photography to capture detailed images of your mouth, thus enabling us to maintain sharp, accurate records and keep you thoroughly informed of your treatment progress.
Digital Orthocad Models
The OrthoCAD digital model is a state-of-the-art technology that provides highly accurate digital models of your teeth, which Dr. Miller and Dr. Dixon use to effectively diagnose and communicate cases. The highly accurate OrthoCAD Digital Study Model is superior to a traditional stone model in every aspect, and its easy transmission for consultation with other healthcare providers means more effective patient diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Miller and Dr. Dixon can manipulate your model in virtual space and collect data through a wide range of computer diagnostic tools, allowing a more effective analysis and treatment strategy.
