Damon System® Braces in Norwich

We provide advanced Damon System braces to our Norwich community. These appliances move teeth more efficiently and comfortably than traditional braces, helping you achieve a beautiful smile with ease.

With fewer office visits due to the need for fewer adjustments, it’s a more streamlined experience from start to finish.

Two-Phase (Early) Treatment

Designed for growing children starting at around age seven (according to the AAO), two-phase orthodontic care gently guides jaw development to prevent future issues and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later. 

Starting early treatment in Norwich means giving your child the best possible foundation for lifelong dental health.

Retainers

Retainers protect the investment you’ve made in your smile by keeping your teeth in perfect alignment after braces or Invisalign.

We offer a variety of comfortable, custom-fit options to match your needs and lifestyle. We’ll help you choose the right retainer to safeguard your new smile.
