Damon system

Damon braces are self-ligating appliances that are fitted in the same way as traditional metal braces. But instead of having brackets that tighten and adjust the braces regularly, Damon braces use a slide mechanism that attaches wires to brackets to move naturally with the teeth as they realign. This makes them more comfortable, better looking and able to provide strong results in a shorter time.

These braces use a different method for moving teeth into the right position. The braces are attached to memory wire that connects slide brackets without the pressure that traditional elastics often produce. They are then set to move your teeth gradually, tightening over time. The process uses less force than traditional braces, which often require supplemental treatment through tooth extractions and palatal expanders.

Damon Braces system

Damon braces have a number of benefits over traditional braces. These include:
Appearance: Their clear brackets make them more aesthetically pleasing because they are virtually invisible.
Faster treatment time: A comparative study showed patients finished their treatment 7.2 months earlier than those with traditional braces.
Less in-office maintenance: The study showed patients needed nearly half as many appointments to have the appliances adjusted manually.
Less pressure on the teeth, resulting in less pain: Patients reported 60 percent less discomfort with Damon braces.
Less friction, which avoids erosion and deterioration of the teeth.
Fewer places for plaque and bacteria to accumulate on the braces. A product such as Colgate® Phos-Flur® Anti-Cavity Fluoride Rinse is effective in preventing white spot lesions (the start of a cavity) during treatment.

Damon braces advantages in adult patient
Damon braces are a great treatment option for adults. These tie-less braces do not need to be tightened during treatment and as a result are gentler to the teeth and surrounding tissues. Damon braces make use of high-tech, memory shaped wires that are designed to quickly move teeth without resistance.

Treatment time with the Damon System is typically faster than conventional braces, with patients reporting a significantly more comfortable experience. Due to the advanced technology engineered in the Damon bracket, fewer appointments are required throughout treatment. This means, a perfect smile can be achieved quickly and conveniently which is something most busy adults truly appreciate! The Damon appliance is a clinically proven treatment approach that aligns teeth and enhances facial aesthetics usually without the need to extract teeth.
