Orthodontics 

Drs. Scott Watterson and Raymond Howe have over 45 years combined experience in orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional brackets, they have chosen to work with Damon Brackets, a revolutionary bracket gate system that moves teeth with less friction, therefore less pain, faster and better than traditional methods. Patients who have chosen Damon Brackets rave about the comfort they experience as well as the reduced need for office visits and overall quicker treatment! For patients who would choose a more discreet orthodontia, Dr. Watterson offers Invisalign®, the clear alternative to brackets and wires. Invisalign® is growing in popularity amongst adults and teens alike for it’s subtle yet effective approach to producing brilliantly straight smiles.

Straight teeth are healthy teeth

Healthier Gums. Properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss than crowded and crooked teeth. Properly positioned teeth can help gums “fit” more tightly around them, which may lead to better tooth and gum health!

Decreased Risk of Abnormal Wear and Trauma. You only get one set of permanent adult teeth, and you want them to last a lifetime! Properly aligned teeth reduce your risk of expensive procedures required to repair the effects of abnormal force, such as tooth chipping, breaking or wear; and can be less stressful on the supporting jaw bone and joints.

Improved Hygiene. With good oral hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay, and gum disease can be reduced. A healthy mouth can help ensure you get to keep your teeth for life!

Boosted Confidence. Not enough can be said for what a straight, stunning smile can do for confidence and assurance. Research has found that smiling can make you look younger and thinner, and smiling actually changes your brain chemistry, making you happy! Additionally, people who smile are perceived to be more courteous, likeable and competent. If you are hiding your smile because you do not like your crooked teeth, pursuing Invisalign® or Damon Brackets could change your entire lifestyle!
