Faster,
more affordable, and less discomfort
Dr. Daynes utilizes
a revolutionary system of braces in our
office called Tip Edge Orthodontics.
The benefits of this system
include that we can use less force in moving teeth which means less
discomfort for the patient, and we enjoy shorter overall treatment
times. Most of our patients wear braces for only
6 to 22 months. Our
fees are often more affordable
than traditional Orthodontists. We also offer a reduced “tune-up”
fee for patients who wore braces in the past, but have experienced some
relapse.

Esthetic "Clear Invisible" Braces
For an additional fee we offer white
ceramic brackets which move the teeth similarly to our metal brackets
but without the metal. We even have white wires which can be used
during stages of your treatment. For additional information you can download our patient brochure on clear brackets
/ wires. Want no signs of braces? Check out our
offerings of clear
aligners.
Orthopedic
expansion
Many orthopedic problems are the result
of a narrow palate. We can use orthopedic appliances to widen the upper jaw.
This helps avoid tooth extractions and leads to wide, beautiful smiles.
We treat young children with problems that affect the size and shape of
their jaws. Corrections made at age 7to9years old may eliminate the need for more
extensive treatment later.
Extractions
Is it
necessary to pull teeth to get the best results? Although extractions are necessary in some cases,
it is now possible to effectively treat most cases without extracting
teeth.
Orthodontist or general dentist?
An orthodontist, and a general dentist practicing
orthodontics, are both dentists. They are both given the same license to
practice. There is no additional special certificate required to be able
to practice orthodontics. The two doctors are differentiated in how they
learn orthodontics. An orthodontist is awarded a postgraduate degree
after taking two years of full-time orthodontic study at a dental school
sanctioned by the ADA. A general dentist can obtain comprehensive
orthodontic knowledge by taking postgraduate courses, which are also
sanctioned by the ADA. Dr. Daynes has
been involved with an intensive part-time two year
course which allows him to offer his patients orthodontic services and
still be your regular full service Dentist. Our braces are
often less expensive than Orthodontists and we can handle cleanings and
fillings / extractions if indicated without going to multiple offices
during treatment.
