Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to clean. Your new smile can begin today!
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth. Let Dr. Erickson and his team help you decide which braces are right for you.
Clear Braces

Invisalign & Spark
Red Dirt Orthodontics is proud to provide their patients in Oklahoma City and Yukon with Invisalign and Spark clear aligners. Invisalign and Spark are our options for a series of clear, removable aligners that are used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. The aligners are worn for around two weeks and then changed with a new set. As an orthodontist, Dr. Erickson loves them because there are so many advantages that come with wearing Invisalign and Spark!
Invisalign Teen
Red Dirt Orthodontics is proud to provide teens in Oklahoma City and Yukon Invisalign and Spark aligners for Teens! Invisalign and Spark aligners for teens are a series of clear, removable aligners that are used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. Each set is slightly modified to move your teeth into their new positions!
Metal Braces
Traditional braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile. Ask Dr. Erickson how traditional braces can give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends, and we at Red Dirt Orthodontics agree, that children should be seen by an orthodontist at the age of 7. Why? Phase I treatment is to help the jaw develop in a way that will accommodate all of the permanent teeth and improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together. With young patients there is a possibility that Dr. Erickson could detect issues with tooth and jaw development that could get worse if left untreated!
