The Choice is Clear with Damon Clear

Your appearance can make a big difference in your confidence, and a healthy smile is one of the first things people notice. If you have crooked teeth, a bad bite or other dental challenges, it can even be difficult for you to find the success you want as a professional. And for kids and teens, the discomfort of traditional braces can add to an already stressful school experience.

Dr. McClellan is dedicated to creating beautiful smiles with straighter teeth and good bites. One of the orthodontic treatment options offered at McClellan Orthodontics, includes Clear Braces by the Damon System.  Made of tooth-colored or transparent ceramic, Damon Clear Braces require no metal clips or elastic ties…meaning our patients are actually getting braces that are clear.

With Damon Clear, people may not even realize you're wearing braces. Unlike other clear braces with visible metal parts or elastic ties that can yellow during treatment, Damon Clear braces are virtually invisible. Damon Clear braces are resistant to staining and do not use elastic ties, providing a superior aesthetic solution for patients.

Damon Clear Braces are perfect for adults looking to improve their smile yet steer clear of any noticeable differences that may draw attention to their mouth. Teenagers that already feel insecure about their smiles don’t want the look of metal braces either.  And while traditional metal braces are effective, most teenagers choose Damon Clear Braces over metal braces a majority of the time.

Damon Clear Braces offer our patients the look they want, with all of the functionality of traditional metal brackets. Their comfortable, sculptured design and attractive translucent appearance help provide the self-confidence that comes from wearing braces that look as good as they perform.

The Fast Track to a Healthy Beautiful Smile

Have you been considering orthodontic treatment, but don’t want to be braces forever? We completely understand. That’s why, at McClellan Orthodontics, we offer our patients a safe and effective way to speed up treatment time.

The AcceleDent System is a new technology designed to decrease the time you’re in braces by increasing the rate of tooth movement. The rate of tooth movement greatly depends on the speed at which the bone surrounding the teeth change. Studies have shown that orthodontic forces coupled with the microvibrations generated by the AcceleDent System safely increase tooth movement by 38-50%.

The AcceleDent System is a hands-free device that can be used 20 minutes per day while engaging in a variety of routine activities including browsing the internet, watching television and doing homework. Simple and easy-to-use, the AcceleDent System is clinically shown to speed up tooth movement while reducing orthodontic discomfort.

AcceleDent’s patented SoftPulse Technology applies precisely calibrated vibrations called micropulses that transmit through the roots of your teeth to the surrounding bone. This gentle vibration helps increase the cellular activity and speeds the rate in which your teeth can move.

In addition to faster, more comfortable treatment, AcceleDent can lead to many other benefits. Accelerated treatment often requires less orthodontic office visits. Accelerating the orthodontic treatment process can also reduce oral health issues by decreasing the risk of white spots, cavities and gum inflammation.

If you’re interested in learning how AcceleDent can help speed up your time in braces, give our Kenilworth office a call. Our friendly and knowledge team will get you scheduled for a consultation with Dr. McClellan to determine if the AcceleDent System is right for you.
