Meet Dr. Derek Damon, Your Anacortes Orthodontist
Dr. Derek R. Damon, DDS, has served the Anacortes community for more than two decades. As an accredited orthodontist, he completed advanced post-doctoral training in orthodontics through a program recognized by the American Dental Association.
Orthodontics runs deep in his family. Dr. Damon is the sixth orthodontist across generations of the Damon family, so you can feel confident you’re in expert hands.
He earned his dental degree at the University of Washington and completed his orthodontic residency there in 2001. Dr. Damon is a proud member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, and the Washington State Dental Association.
He also gives back locally, volunteering with the Mount Baker District Dental Society to support dental access programs across our region.
Orthodontic Treatments in Anacortes
We offer a full range of treatments for every age and stage of life. Here are the services patients rely on most at our Anacortes office.
Damon System Braces
The Damon System uses tie-less, self-ligating brackets and gentle memory-shape wires. This means greater comfort, fewer adjustments, and faster overall treatment than traditional braces. Choose from Damon Q metal brackets or discreet Damon Clear brackets.
Clear Aligners
Our clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of virtually invisible, removable trays. Most people won’t even notice you’re in treatment. Aligners make brushing and flossing easy, and they fit neatly into a busy schedule.
We lead with Spark Clear Aligners, an advanced system designed for a comfortable fit and precise, efficient tooth movement.
Early Treatment for Children
Early evaluations, often around age six, help us monitor your child’s growth and catch issues like crowding or crossbite. Timely care can simplify or shorten future treatment.
Teen Treatment
The teen years are an ideal time for orthodontic care. With braces or clear aligners, we help adolescents achieve healthy, confident smiles during a key stage of development.
Adult Treatment
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontics. We offer discreet options that fit professional and social lives, with careful attention to gum health throughout your treatment. Recieve advanced adult orthodontic care here at Derek Damon.
Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs)
TADs are small titanium anchors that allow precise tooth movement. They often replace bulky headgear and can help reduce total treatment time.
Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
For jaw irregularities that braces alone can’t correct, corrective jaw surgery can improve function, comfort, and facial balance. Dr. Damon uses advanced digital imaging to plan every case carefully.
