Damon System braces are fast, fixed orthodontic braces using a low friction slide mechanism and very light titanium wires which exert a lighter force on your teeth.
Not only is this treatment more comfortable than traditional braces, but it also gives high quality results achieved in a shorter period of time. Overall, your treatment will be finished on average six months faster than with conventional braces.
Damon braces are more discreet and resistant to staining and discoloration than the more traditional ‘train track’ braces. Without the elastic ties that can attract and collect plaque, they are easy to keep clean. With the tie-less high technology arch wires, they are clinically proven to move teeth fast and comfortably with quick and high quality results.
Faster: The Damon System is usually faster than traditional braces, meaning you can achieve your desired smile sooner!
Comfort: Traditional braces use elastics or ties to hold the archwires in place, which can cause discomfort. The Damon System is gentle on the teeth.
Beautiful: When having Damon treatment, your orthodontist will take into account your facial structure when aligning your teeth, even anticipating what you will look like in your 40s and beyond.
Fewer Dental Visits: While you are using the Damon system, you will only need to visit your orthodontist every 8 weeks.
No tooth removal: Damon Braces use biologically sensible forces to create space in your mouth naturally, so unlike with traditional braces, there is often no need for removal of teeth.
Virtually invisible brace: The braces use the standard Damon system’s sliding mechanism alongside crystal clear brackets that are resistant to staining and far less visible.
Once your brace is removed, you will be provided with your own personal removable retainer which is normally worn at night to keep your beautiful new smile looking its best.
Damon braces use a self-ligating mechanism to reduce friction and allow teeth to move more comfortably and efficiently than with traditional braces.
Many patients find Damon braces to be more comfortable than traditional braces because they use lighter and more biocompatible materials, and the self-ligating mechanism reduces friction.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of the orthodontic issues, but many patients see results in less time than with traditional braces.
Typically, you will have appointments every 6 to 10 weeks to monitor your progress and adjust your Damon braces.
Yes, you can still participate in sports and play musical instruments with Damon braces, but it is recommended to wear a mouthguard for sports and use wax to prevent discomfort when playing a musical instrument.
