BRACES IN ST. LOUIS

Modern braces designed for a smile worth showing off.

Damon Ultima self-ligating brackets. Fewer adjustments, shorter appointments, more comfortable treatment. And with DentalMonitoring, most check-ins happen from home.

WHAT MAKES OUR BRACES DIFFERENT

The bracket matters. We use the best one made.

Most practices use a $0.50 bracket. We use Damon Ultima, the most advanced bracket system available. It costs us more. It’s worth it for what it does for your treatment.

Faster Tooth Movement

Self-ligating technology lets teeth move more freely than traditional brackets allow. Most patients finish treatment ahead of schedule.

More Comfortable To Wear

Lower force, smoother surfaces, no elastic ties to break or replace. Less irritation between appointments.

Designed for the VO Smile

Damon Ultima is built to support broader, fuller smiles with attention to facial harmony. Not just straight teeth.

THE VO BRACES EXPERIENCE

Designed around your family's life, not the orthodontic playbook.

Traditional braces meant monthly office visits for tightening. We replaced most of that with technology that does the same job from home.

DentalMonitoring included

 Weekly at-home scans with your phone. Dr. Varble reviews every one personally.

About half the office visits

 Come in when there’s a clinical reason, not just because four weeks passed.

Same-day start available

 If you’re ready after your consultation, we can begin treatment that day.

Dr. Varble personally designs your plan

 Every treatment plan is his. No corporate playbook, no associate doctor.
