      Dr. Summe named to Louisville Magazine's Top Orthodontists

      Damon® Brackets

      Damon® braces were invented by Dr. Dwight Damon. The Damon® bracket utilizes (sliding-door) technology known as "self-ligation" that allows the wire to slide back and forth within the bracket.

      No elastic or steel ties are used with Damon® brackets. This technology creates less friction and results in greater comfort for the patient. In addition, Damon® braces often reduce both treatment time and the number of adjustments that are usually performed.

      Invisalign®

      The Invisalign® System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult and teen patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign® system. For more information, visit the Invisalign website at www.invisalign.com.

      Damon CLEAR braces

      Damon clear are nearly invisible braces that are especially popular with adults and older teens due to their cosmetic appearance. They are easy to keep clean because there are no ties to stain or discolor.
