Damon self-ligating braces – a comfortable, efficient option for your smile
Damon self-ligating braces offer an advanced alternative to traditional bracket and wire braces. Damon braces are efficient and comfortable and offer patients a more convenient way to get the smile of their dreams.
What are Damon braces?
Damon braces are what is known as self-ligating braces. That means they don’t use the elastic ties that traditional braces require to hold the archwires in place against the brackets. Instead, the archwire is secured with a tiny clip that enables the wire to slide easily within the brace. By allowing the archwire to move more freely, there is less friction and pressure on the teeth, which results in increased comfort for patients.
Damon braces help your teeth move to their new locations more naturally and efficiently. The metal clip enables the wire to be activated for a longer period of time, which means you don’t need to visit our office every 4-6 weeks. As a result, you will need fewer visits to our office and have more time to do the things you love.
Benefits of Damon braces
- They’re more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Patients who use the Damon system report an average of 60% less discomfort than patients using conventional braces.
- There is no need for tightening. Without the elastic ties, your braces don’t need to be tightened, which makes Damon braces more gentle on your smile.
- The memory shape wires are high-tech. This allows them to move teeth quickly and comfortably, requiring fewer adjustments in our office and an overall faster treatment time.
- The lack of elastic ties allows for better hygiene during treatment. Damon braces make it much easier to maintain your oral health because food and plaque can’t get stuck in elastic ties.
- The clinically proven approach considers not only the patient’s teeth, but also the entire face, profile and other factors to enhance the facial appearance. The end treatment goal is to provide a beautiful and functional smile that will last a lifetime.
- Damon Braces are also available in clear, offering an aesthetically pleasing option that won’t stain like traditional clear braces.
