Orthodontic Treatments in Bellingham & Anacortes, WA

Thank you for visiting the website of Derek Damon Orthodontics, the office of Derek R. Damon, DDS, a respected provider of orthodontic care in your local community. Located in Bellingham and Anacortes, Washington, our practice’s top priority is to provide you the highest quality orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment.

We utilize the latest technological advancements in the orthodontic industry, along with the most current computer technology (digital imaging and advanced computer graphics), to ensure that you receive the most effective care possible. We recognize that every patient has different needs, and therefore we offer many different treatment options, including:

The first self-ligating bracket system, the Damon System uses lighter wires and lower friction brackets. These two features result in greater patient comfort and faster overall treatment time.

A modern alternative to traditional metal braces, both Spark Aligners and Invisalign Aligners straighten your teeth using a series of clear, customized, removable aligners. No one will notice you are straightening your teeth unless you tell them!

Regardless of your choice, Derek Damon Orthodontics offers both Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners so you can get the treatment that’s right for you. Both clear aligner systems provide optimal benefits, and we believe patients should have the opportunity to choose which one works best for them.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our offices or the services we provide. Whether you’re an adult, adolescent or child, Dr. Derek Damon and his staff are committed to helping you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve!

Early intervention in orthodontic matters can reap substantial benefits for children. While early evaluation doesn’t always translate into immediate treatment, it allows us to monitor growth patterns effectively until the optimal time for intervention arises. This strategic approach ensures the best outcomes efficiently and helps prevent future complications.

Between ages 11-13, a pivotal dental transformation occurs as deciduous (baby) teeth are shed, making way for permanent ones. This juncture offers a prime opportunity to address developmental issues like malocclusion, improper spacing, or misalignment. Early intervention during adolescence yields optimal results, as the body undergoes rapid growth, making orthodontic corrections more manageable.

Derek Damon Orthodontics is witnessing a surge in adult orthodontic patients, and the reasons are clear. Advanced orthodontic appliances that blend seamlessly into adult lifestyles offer discreet solutions for smile enhancement. Many adults now recognize the profound social, professional, and oral health benefits of investing in a radiant smile later in life.

Embark on your orthodontic transformation with confidence at Derek Damon Orthodontics, where exceptional care meets cutting-edge technology. Dr. Derek R. Damon leads our dedicated team in providing personalized orthodontic solutions to patients in Anacortes and Bellingham. With a commitment to excellence, we integrate Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) into our treatments, ensuring optimal results tailored to your unique needs.

At Derek Damon Orthodontics, our mission is to create beautiful smiles through quality education in orthodontics and by staying on the brink of technological advances so we can provide you and your family with the best possible care. We do this by evaluating each individual patient’s needs and then developing a treatment plan that can include a variety of orthodontic treatments such as ceramic or metal braces, Invisalign and, when needed, corrective jaw surgery. Our commitment to comprehensive care in a comfortable office environment is why so many Bellingham and Anacortes area residents come to Dr. Derek Damon when in search of a highly-skilled orthodontist.

Dr. Damon and his staff are friendly, professional, and excellent at their jobs. Dr. Damon listened to my wishes regarding the type of orthodontic device (aligners vs. braces) and the timeline for correction. He helped me achieve my goals in a timely manner, and I am very satisfied with the results. He and his staff kindly worked around my schedule for appointments and even rushed ordered my aligners to arrive by a certain date. I would definitely recommend him for any and all orthodontic needs.
