Services
Damon System
Damon self-ligating braces use advanced bracket technology to reduce friction and accelerate tooth movement. This system enables shorter treatment times while maintaining precise alignment control. Patients benefit from fewer adjustment appointments and enhanced comfort throughout their orthodontic journey.
Spark Clear Aligners
Spark Clear Aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional metal braces. These custom-fitted trays provide gradual tooth movement while allowing normal oral hygiene routines. Ideal for patients seeking aesthetic treatment options with minimal lifestyle disruption.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment in children aged 7-10. This proactive approach creates optimal conditions for permanent teeth eruption and reduces future treatment complexity. Our team specializes in making early orthodontic care comfortable and engaging for young patients.
TMJ/TMD Treatment
Specialized treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders combines orthodontic techniques with pain management strategies. We address symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and clicking through customized bite correction plans that improve overall oral function and comfort.
VPro Sleep Apnea
VPro technology offers non-invasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea through oral appliance therapy. Custom-fitted devices maintain airway patency during sleep, improving breathing patterns and reducing snoring. This solution provides an alternative to CPAP machines for mild to moderate sleep apnea cases.

Weve only had great service at The Dischinger Team Orthodontics. Dr. Bill connects with and cares for his patients; he often called to check in after a procedure and see how my son was doing. The office staff is amazing, always exuding a cheerful attitude. We leave with a smile every time we visit!
