Damon Braces offer patients an efficient alternative solution. The friction-free, self-ligating Damon Brace combines the effectiveness of traditional braces with an innovative concept which allows for a comfortable and effective method of teeth straightening. The self-ligating nature of this system ensures the forces are as light as possible.
The braces are still fixed to the teeth. However, the wires are held on to the brackets by miniature “clips” as opposed to elastic bands. As elastics can sometimes discolour, this system helps your fixed brace to stay fresh and clean.
The system also use different wires which are intended to deliver very gentle forces to your teeth. Gentle forces are useful in orthodontics as they can reduce the risk of untoward side effects of braces. In fact, using strong forces can actually cause teeth to move slower.
The wires work for longer than conventional wires, which means fewer visits to your orthodontist during treatment, which makes the treatment more convenient.
These are available as part of our Platinum Plan are actually half metal and half white, so they look more discrete than ordinary metal braces.
