Damon Orthodontics

Damon Orthodontics is a prominent orthodontic practice with a rich history and a strong presence in the Spokane area, including a key office in Spokane Valley, Washington. The clinic is particularly notable as the home of the "Damon System" of orthodontic treatment, a revolutionary approach developed by Dr. Dwight Damon, who opened the Spokane Valley office over 30 years ago. This system utilizes passive self-ligating braces, which are designed to move teeth more comfortably and efficiently than traditional braces, often reducing treatment time and the need for frequent adjustments, and in many cases, avoiding extractions or palatal expanders. The practice is run by a family of orthodontists, with Dr. Paul Damon and Dr. Clay Damon continuing the legacy. Dr. Paul Damon, a native of Spokane Valley, is a globally recognized Damon System Mentor, lecturing and educating other orthodontists on the innovative technology of passive self-ligation. Dr. Clay Damon also hails from Spokane and emphasizes a patient-centered treatment philosophy. Damon Orthodontics offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for both children and adults, including: Damon Braces: The signature self-ligating metal braces that allow for frictionless tooth movement, leading to faster results and fewer office visits. Damon Clear Braces: A more aesthetic option utilizing clear brackets, offering the benefits of the Damon System with a virtually invisible appearance, resistant to staining. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign, Spark): For patients seeking a removable and discreet alternative to braces. Early Orthodontics: Addressing orthodontic needs in younger patients to guide jaw growth and tooth eruption. Adult Orthodontics: Providing tailored treatment plans for adults seeking to improve their smiles and oral health. The clinic prides itself on providing a comfortable and patient-friendly environment, offering amenities like coffee and free Wi-Fi, and a team that is "Damon Certified," demonstrating extensive continuing education and expertise in orthodontic techniques. They emphasize personalized treatment plans, considering each patient's unique facial characteristics to achieve a full, natural, and aesthetically pleasing "Damon Smile" that can last a lifetime. Damon Orthodontics also demonstrates strong community involvement, supporting local organizations and offering a scholarship program (Smile For A Lifetime Foundation) to provide free orthodontic treatment to deserving children. They offer complimentary consultations to discuss treatment options and flexible payment plans to make orthodontic care accessible.
