Finding the Right Fit for You
Our braces are designed to move your teeth gently and effectively.
Damon Braces
If you are looking for an alternative to traditional styles, Damon braces might be a great fit. They use special “self-ligating” technology that eliminates the need for elastic ties, which can sometimes be more comfortable and efficient than traditional braces. They gently guide your teeth into place, making your experience as smooth as possible.
Braces Reviews
Arianna, has my experience on getting braces for the first time an easy experience. At first I was scared by not only the experience but how my smile would be changed. Arianna has ensured me on the steps to take and how it would be a great experience. Thank you for making this decade dream come true. Thank you for the new smile, Arianna.
2nd time around for the win! I may or may not have worn my retainer after I got my braces off a few years ago. Dr Laurie and everyone there was so kind about it with me, and straightened everything back out! My appointments were super easy and my teeth look great again!
Couldn't say enough wonderful things about Wheaton Ortho. We put one child through braces with Dr Allen and her teeth still look beautiful! Our 2nd child did braces now with Dr Laurie and I am also doing Invisalign! The whole team is amazing and every time we are there it's always a fun experience. My son loves the snacks after his appointments, and I don't mind them either!
It was a great time. I had nice conversations with Ariana (my orthodontist for the day). She made sure I was comfortable the whole time and it was a very quick appointment. I would highly recommend this orthodontist to people who are looking to get braces.
Arianna did an amazing job on my braces , this is the most amazing place to come to get orthodontic braces

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I eat with braces?
It is true that you’ll need to be a little mindful, but you can still enjoy many of your favorite foods! We generally suggest avoiding things that are very hard, sticky, or chewy (like caramel or popcorn), as they can damage your brackets. If you love things like apples or corn on the cob, just slice them into smaller, easier-to-eat pieces.
How do I keep my teeth clean?
Great oral hygiene is key to a healthy smile. We suggest rinsing with water before you brush to dislodge any food. When brushing, tilt your brush at a 45-degree angle to get around the brackets and under the wires. Flossing takes a little extra practice, but our team will make sure you feel like a pro before you leave the office.
Will it hurt?
Most patients feel a bit of soreness for a day or two after getting their braces or after an adjustment. This is perfectly normal and shows that your teeth are moving! A simple saltwater rinse or an over-the-counter pain reliever usually does the trick to help you feel better.
How long will I wear braces?
Everyone is unique, but most of our patients complete their treatment in 12 to 24 months. We will give you a clear estimate at the start, and as your smile progresses, we’ll be able to refine that timeline for you.
Are there less noticeable options?
Yes! If you would like to explore options beyond braces, you may want to look into Invisalign® aligners. They are a great choice if you want a discreet way to straighten your teeth.
