Damon braces are self-ligating, which means that they are specially designed to be faster and more comfortable than traditional metal braces. The Damon Ultima system is the most advanced bracket system on the market and makes use of a revolutionary slide mechanism that eliminates the need for metal or elastic ties, and light, high-tech shape-memory wires that move the teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
Damon Ultima braces are designed to enhance your facial aesthetics and produce a better overall result. They also have a number of advantages over traditional braces, including:
- Appearance (the brackets are smaller, and the clear brackets are nearly invisible, even though the wire is still visible)
- Faster treatment times
- Fewer appointments to adjust your braces
- Less discomfort during treatment
- Better oral hygiene (there are fewer areas on the braces to accumulate plaque and bacteria)
Receive all the benefits of the Damon Ultima Self-Ligating Metal Brackets - but clear! Damon Clear braces set themselves apart with their clear brackets, which blend well with your teeth for a near-invisible appearance. Ideal for both adults and teens who are concerned about their looks during treatment, Damon clear brackets offer an attractive alternative that doesn’t compromise performance.
Clear aligners are the most comfortable and discreet option available. Not only are aligners invisible, but they're also removable for when you're eating or drinking.
Achieve your dream smile faster without brackets or wires. These clear aligners can be used to tackle orthodontic problems big and small, all while blending in flawlessly with your natural smile.

The staff here are so incredible and work so well with clients. They were kind, considerate, and very easy to work with. These are truly great people! I won’t go anywhere else for my orthodontic needs.

I have been a patient 15+ years and whether as a kid getting braces or now as an adult getting my permanent retainer fixed I have always had a great experience!

After five years of experience with Dr. Richards, I can tell you he is not just the most skilled, thorough, and professional orthodontist in the world--he also has the absolute best staff. Three of my kids have had orthodontic treatment with Michael Richards Orthodontics and we will definitely stay with him for the last two. He and his staff are wonderful, kind human beings who have gone the extra mile so many times to help my kids enjoy their orthodontic experience.

We love Dr. Richards and staff! My husband and I both got braces in late 2020 and we both recently got them off. I’ve known my husband since we were little kids and in the 20+ years I’ve known him, I’ve seen him smile with his teeth maybe 10 times. Just this last week since he’s gotten his braces off, I’ve seen him smiling constantly! He is beaming! We both have so much more confidence. We are very pleased with the entire staff. We are only sad we won’t see them often anymore.
We offer convenient appointments.
