Damon braces are a type of self-ligating braces that use a sliding mechanism to hold the archwire in place, rather than traditional elastic ties. This allows for lighter forces and more efficient tooth movement.

Unlike traditional braces, Damon braces don’t require elastic or metal ties to hold the wires in place, reducing friction and making adjustments less frequent. They can also be more comfortable and require fewer visits to the orthodontist.

In some cases, Damon braces can reduce treatment time due to their more efficient tooth movement. We spend time to design and fit the brace so it works in the most efficient manner and also to give high end results.

Damon braces are designed to use lighter, more consistent forces to move teeth. We work within the biology of our clients, which result in less discomfort during treatment compared to traditional braces, at key stages.

In many cases, Damon braces create space naturally by expanding the dental arch, potentially reducing the need for tooth extractions. Choosing the right Damon set up, design and fit is important.

Yes, Damon braces come in both metal and clear (ceramic) versions. The clear option offers a more discreet appearance, which is popular among adults or teens concerned about aesthetics. However, currently they are not the same in how they work as the dimensions of the clear has to be different due to the properties of ceramic. Discuss this with us as each clients management is different.

Damon braces typically require fewer appointments than traditional braces because the self-ligating system reduces the need for frequent adjustments. At times, you may visit your orthodontist every 8-10 weeks.
