General Orthodontics | Monterey, Carmel & Marina

Orthodontic Care for Every Age:

When people think of orthodontics, they think of straight teeth. That’s part of it, but it’s not the whole story.

Beyond straight teeth, we focus on the foundation of your smile, your bite, airway, and jaw alignment. Our treatment plans address all of these elements, creating a stable, long-lasting result. The goal is a comfortable, functional, and balanced smile that gives you the self-confidence you deserve for years to come.

Damon Braces: Comfort, Health, and Long-Term Results

Damon Braces use advanced, low-friction technology to move teeth gently and efficiently. The self-ligating brackets work with your body’s natural responses, reducing strain on the teeth and surrounding tissue. Lighter force means less soreness after adjustments and a more comfortable experience overall. This modern approach often leads to better facial symmetry and a more stable bite than conventional braces. It’s a system built to protect root health, conserve bone and support aesthetic facial development.

Spark Clear Aligners: More Than Just Straightening

Spark Aligners are clear and easy to wear, but their real value is in their precise design. Your orthodontist personally designs and monitors your treatment, using precise digital planning for controlled, predictable results. You can even see a digital projection of your tooth movement from start to finish.

The aligner material is smooth and stain-resistant, making it a discreet and practical choice for adults. We use the same detailed diagnostic process for aligners as we do for braces, looking at your structural health first, then aesthetics.

This is orthodontics designed for people with goals, objectives, and the ability to see corrections daily, weekly, and monthly.

Phase I Early Interceptive Care: Guiding Growth at the Right Time

This growth is guided in a healthy direction. If we see signs of constriction or facial imbalance, early treatment can redirect development and minimize the need for future extractions.

Our early interventions are targeted and efficient and take only 12 to 14 months. This approach is designed to correct underlying issues early, setting the stage for healthier growth and simplifying future orthodontic needs.

Concierge Adult Care: Orthodontics for Your Life

Adults often have unique goals, some want a more confident smile, while others are seeking relief from jaw discomfort, grinding, or other structural issues. Many have had braces before and want a better, more lasting result.

Your treatment plan is comprehensive, considering everything from your jaw positions and profile to your long-term comfort and function. We coordinate with your healthcare providers to ensure your care is integrated and seamless. Our goal is to provide treatment that is clear, direct, and focused on the outcomes you care about most.

What You Walk Away With: A System That Works With You, Not Against You

We will show you how your bite, face, and airway are working now, and how we can improve every aspect.

When teeth are aligned with proper planning and the surrounding structures are considered, the outcome is predictable and stable. Breathing improves, joints relax, and faces stay balanced. The smile looks better because the system behind it is coordinated for ideal results.

This is orthodontics with foresight. It’s the kind of planning that pays off in comfort, confidence, and fewer surprises down the road.
