There’s no doubt that straight teeth bring out a more confident smile. Like gears on a wheel, our teeth fit together in a certain way to function properly. Problems may arise when our bite is off and our teeth don’t fit right.
Damon braces use gentle force to protect the health of your teeth and gums while you're in treatment. With over 7 million smiles delivered worldwide, the Damon System is clinically proven to effectively straighten teeth, while giving patients a fuller, more attractive smile. It works faster than traditional braces, demands less treatment time, and requires fewer appointments.
Unlike regular metal braces, Damon uses a patented slide mechanism to connect archwires to the bracket while allowing the wire to move freely. This reduces friction and improves oral hygiene by eliminating elastic ties. Damon braces also allow our orthodontists to treat most cases without extractions or the use of palatal expanders.
Damon self-ligating braces, also called the Damon System, has a built-in sliding mechanism and high-tech light-force arch wires that eliminate the need for elastic or metal ties. The result? Less friction and discomfort, fewer appointments, and shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces.
Reduced friction is linked to shorter treatment time. Because of its passive self-ligating technology, studies show that treatment time with Damon braces is up to 7 months shorter than other orthodontic appliances.
Absolutely. Our Specialist Orthodontists use Damon braces to effectively treat and correct all types of malocclusions, including the most severe tooth crowding.
Compared to traditional braces, the Damon System exerts lighter forces and less pressure as it moves your teeth to their ideal position. It can take a few days to get used to it, but it’s known to be more comfortable and less abrasive to the cheeks and lips than traditional braces.
Modern braces have come a long way in terms of function and design. The brackets of Damon braces are smaller in size, and their corners are smooth and rounded; designed for both aesthetics and your comfort.
In most cases, treatments with Damon braces are done without extractions or palatal expanders. Our Specialist Orthodontists will only recommend an extraction if it is truly necessary.
Every patient is unique, and like other types of orthodontic treatments, the cost will depend on a few factors such as the complexity of the case and the orthodontist's expertise. To get a detailed treatment plan and exact cost, please book a consultation with one of our Specialist Orthodontists.
