Damon System

The Damon System uses self-ligating brackets with a sliding door mechanism to reduce friction and discomfort. This technology allows faster tooth movement with fewer adjustments, minimizing office visits. Patients benefit from enhanced comfort and efficient treatment outcomes.

Spark Aligners

Spark Aligners utilize TruGEN material for clearer, more comfortable aligners that resist staining. Designed for effective tooth movement, they offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Ideal for treating moderate malocclusions with precision.

Early Treatment

Early intervention addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment in children. Timely treatment can prevent complex problems, reducing the need for extractions or surgery later. Focuses on guiding facial growth and dental development.

Adult Treatment

Customized treatment plans correct misaligned teeth and bites in adults. Options include discreet braces and aligners to fit professional lifestyles. Improves oral health, function, and confidence at any age.

Orthognathic Surgery

Corrective jaw surgery addresses severe facial imbalances and bite issues. Combined with orthodontics, it enhances both function and aesthetics. Resolves problems like difficulty chewing, speech impediments, and sleep apnea.

I had braces about 10 years ago back then the staff were amazing. But Dr Glenna herself who I'm rating was amazing. She was sweet, kind, down to earth. She always made sure you were comfortable and always made sure you left happy. I remember when we got my severe over bite fixed, she went around to staff showing them the before and after of my moulds because she was so proud of her work and I was so happy of the work she had done! Like I said, she will make sure you leave happy. Wire hurts? Don't be scared to tell her and she will make sure it's clipped before you leave. Need more elastics? Just

I had braces in high school and it was a very pleasant process. The assistants and Dr. Glenna put lots of care into their work. They also give out goodies for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Mother's Day, and Father's Day! I always looked forward to visits!

Trail Orthodontics has been such a positive life changing decision! Dr. Glenna is super friendly and down to earth! I especially like the ortho tech Ashley - she is so bubbly and positive - Thank you for always being so patient! They always have monthly contests and their office is new/clean and modern! I was extremely picky about where I was going to invest my time/money - I can not be happier! My friends and family love the results of my new smile! I can not rave enough about these caring woman who run this fabulous ortho facility ! I would strongly suggest looking into a referral with this

The ladies at the reception office are just worried about getting the fees paid rather than explaining the plan to patient!!

I am almost getting my braces off, and I have to comment on the fact that Dr Glenna and the staff are extremely knowledgable and friendly. As an adult getting braces they have taken the time to shift my teeth properly without damaging my tooth roots and putting my overall health of my teeth the main priority. I can say that Dr. Glenna is a perfectionist and in the correct career as an orthodontist, making teeth perfectly straight. I have also seen how friendly and welcoming everyone there is with kids and I highly recommend them if you are thinking of going here.
