Damon™

In comparison to a traditional brace, Damon™ offers the added benefit of clear brackets and wire arch technology.

In comparison with traditional braces, this method offers faster results and more comfort.

How is Damon™ different from traditional orthodontic treatment?

Damon™ braces work in the same way as other orthodontic systems do to straighten teeth. The main distinction between this technique and others is how they straighten teeth.

Braces shift teeth by using archwires and brackets. Unlike standard braces, which utilise elastic bands to encircle each bracket, Damon braces use a self-ligating method to attach archwires to brackets rather than elastic ties.

This self-ligating technology is not new, but its popularity has grown as many orthodontists claim enhanced clinical performance.

What are the advantages of Damon™ treatment?

• Less discomfort – Damon™ braces exert less pressure on your natural teeth and the sliding mechanism allows for less friction – this allows for a more comfortable experience.
• Easier to clean – The lack of components in the Damon™ system make for better oral hygiene when cared for properly.
• Fewer consultations and adjustments – Traditional elastics can loosen between orthodontic visits. The wire arch and self-ligation technology can potentially make treatment more efficient in many cases.

What problems does orthodontics solve?

• Crowded teeth and crooked teeth
• Interdental spaces
• Overbite — Tooth overlap between upper and lower teeth
• Underbite – protrusion of lower teeth beyond the upper teeth
• Open bite – the lower and upper teeth do not meet
• Crossbite — occurs when certain upper teeth touch the inside of the lower teeth when they bite
