Damon Braces

Fixed brace treatments have come along way from the traditional metal fixed braces. This is highlighted when looking at the innovative and effective Damon braces treatment. Damon braces are fixed braces which use friction free technology and self-ligating technology to effectively move teeth into position to create faster results.

During traditional fixed braces treatment often teeth need to be extracted and palatal expanders used so that space could be made for teeth to move into. These are not needed when wearing Damon braces as they make use of friction-free technology, which very gently moves teeth into their aligned location quickly and effectively.

Benefits of Damon braces

Treatment works quickly; because the self-ligating technology and friction free system works to rapidly move teeth into position, treatment time is shorter and can even take as little as just six months in some cases. This is far quicker than traditional fixed braces that can often take years to produce results.

They provide comfort; because Damon braces use self-ligating technology there is no need to use any elastic or metal ties that can cause pain to the mouth area and irritation. The wire is held in place by a sliding mechanism on the brackets so that teeth can be moved quickly and effectively into place, with minimum pain or discomfort. The braces do not need to be regularly tightened which can cause a lot of pain at the beginning.

Traditional braces, which use metal or elastic ties, would make cleaning the teeth quite difficult for patients. Plaque can gather around the ties causing oral decay and gum disease to traditional brace wearers. No ties make cleaning teeth so much easier with Damon braces.

Discreet fixed braces; unlike traditional metal braces, Damon braces use much smaller tooth coloured brackets and a very thin wire system for a discreet fixed braces appearance. Although they are not as discreet as the “invisible” aligners, they do not impact greatly on facial aesthetics. Due to their size it is easier to maintain oral hygiene and clean the teeth effectively whilst wearing the braces.

Many patients with orthodontic issues look at both the effectiveness and discreetness of modern braces. We feel that Damon braces are a fast and effective discreet fixed braces system a great alternative to clear aligners.
