Damon System
Our office is pleased to offer our patients Damon Smile braces. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. Thanks to these innovative braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible!
TECHNOLOGY: Experience treatment without tightening.
TREATMENT TIME: Faster and far fewer appointments.
COMFORT: Very light “shape memory” titanium wires are used.
CONVENIENCE: Dental hygiene is easy during treatment.

Damon Clear
Damon Clear is part of the innovative Damon Smile, which combines tie-less brackets and high-tech archwires that are clinically proven to move teeth quickly and comfortably with spectacular results. Damon Clear combines the best of traditional clear braces and efficient technology to deliver a discreet treatment experience with results that go beyond straight teeth.
Spark Aligners
Spark aligners are made with TruGEN™, the latest innovation in clear aligner material. Spark aligners are more clear, more comfortable, stain less and designed for more efficient and effective tooth movement, compared to the leading aligner brand.
Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and have been proven effective. Summers Orthodontics is a Gold Plus Invisalign Provider.
HOW DO ALIGNERS WORK?
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move until they have straightened to their final positions. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30.
Orthoscreening
Everyone is busy these days, and we get it. We want to make your life easier by saving you time and granting you the ability to complete an orthodontic screening from the comfort and convenience of your home.
That is why Summers Orthodontics has partnered with Orthodontic Screening Kit.

Biolux
OrthoPulse® is an established device that uses low levels of light energy to stimulate the bone surrounding the roots of your teeth and facilitate tooth movement which may reduce treatment time for braces or clear aligners. OrthoPulse® is the first device of its kind cleared by the FDA for use with both braces or clear aligners.
Osteoperforations/TADs
Micro-osteoperforation harnesses the body’s own biology to create a cytokine effect that induces bone remodeling and allows teeth to be moved into the clinically desired position in a more predictable and faster manner. Faster treatments also mean less appointments.
Wilckodontics
Wilckodontics accelerates treatment time by focusing not just on the forces applied to the tooth, but the supporting bone as well. By stimulating living bone the teeth can be made to move very rapidly and when the tooth movement is completed the bone around the roots of the teeth will rebuild itself.
3D Imaging
The i-CAT Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging System allows your orthodontist to provide quick, comfortable, and effective imaging for the most precise orthodontic diagnosis possible. i-CAT technology provides 3D data for:
- TMJ treatment
- Full facial and jaw 3D images
- Orthodontic evaluation and treatment planning
- Airway assessments and sleep apnea
Digital Impressions
To further deliver unparalleled orthodontic treatment, we have invested in the revolutionary iTero™ digital impression system. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to reduce the need for traditional impressions and provide a more comfortable experience for our patients.
The advanced intraoral scanner is equipped with a disposable wand that captures dual-arch 3D images without the discomfort and mess from the traditional goopy materials. The iTero technology captures data in real time, meaning Dr. Summers acquires high-definition scans at all angles of the tooth surface.
Capturing patients’ accurate and detailed intraoral data is critical to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment plans. The accuracy and efficiency of the scan results in better fitting orthodontic appliances and faster turnaround time in receiving them. We are happy to offer this technology to our patients and anticipate exceptional orthodontic results.
