As a specialist in orthodontics, I love witnessing the physical and mental transformation that patients experience through the process of orthodontic treatment. It always amazes me to see how straight teeth can truly change peoples lives and I feel privileged to take part in that process. At Rucker Orthodontics, we know that braces mean more than straight teeth. I look forward to helping you obtain a healthy, attractive, and confident smile.
We are committed to obtaining the best possible results for each patient and understand that using quality materials, equipment, and supplies is a critical part of the process. We use the Damon System braces to give you a meticulously beautiful smile in the most comfortable and efficient way possible.
Damon Braces facilitates healthy tooth movement with impressive control. It combines tie-less brackets and high-tech arch wires, minimizing discomfort to help create a lifetime of confident smiles. Damon usage has been proven to result in fewer adjustments, less discomfort, and a treatment time 6 months faster than standard braces. Overall, results have been proven 20% more effective than non-Damon cases.
Traditional braces use elastic ties that bind wires in place, similar to a bungee cord. This design createshigher pressure and friction, which results in less efficient tooth movementand createsan uncomfortable tightening feeling.
Damonbraces, unlike traditional braces, dont require elastic ties to hold the wire in place. Instead, wires are held in placeby a sliding door that is built-in to the Damonbracket. Not only do elastic ties slow down tooth movement, they also have a tendency to collect plaque. What the advanced design of the Damon braces means for our patients is a significant improvement in oral hygiene, resulting in healthier teeth and attractive smiles.
Damon Clear is part of the progressive Damon System, which combines tieless brackets and high technology archwires that are clinically proven to move teeth fast and comfortably with spectacular smile and facial results. No clear elastic ties means no yellow staining and a truly clear braces treatment. Schedule a complimentary orthodontic exam and ask us how Damon Clear braces can improve your smile.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, specially designed aligners to straighten your teeth. Unlike braces, the aligners can be removed to eat, brush, and floss. Invisalign is particularly effective in correcting minor orthodontic irregularities and orthodontic relapse from not wearing retainers. For effective tooth movement the aligners must be worn 23 hours each day.
NO GOOP. NO GAGGING. We are completely digital! Even under the best conditions, traditional impressions were messy, uncomfortable, and occasionally unreliable. That's why we are proud to offer goop-free, completely digital impressions of your teeth with our 3D iTero element digital impression scanner. Your digital impression is faster, more accurate, and offers you a superior clinical endpoint compared to the old putty based impressions. We can show you a simulation of your potential orthodontic treatment outcome within minutes of creating your digital impression!
