Damon Braces
Advanced self-ligating brace system for faster, more comfortable orthodontic treatment. Fewer adjustments and potentially shorter treatment times.
Overview
Damon braces are an advanced self-ligating orthodontic system that uses a slide mechanism instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire. This innovative design allows for more efficient tooth movement, potentially reducing treatment time. The passive self-ligating system creates less friction, which can mean less discomfort and fewer adjustments. Damon braces are available in both metal and clear options.

Advanced technology for better results
Treatment Process
Damon braces treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and digital treatment planning. The self-ligating brackets are bonded to your teeth, and the archwire is secured using the slide mechanism rather than elastic bands. This passive system allows the wire to move more freely, potentially accelerating treatment. Adjustments are typically needed every 8-10 weeks instead of every 4-6 weeks. Treatment may be completed faster than with traditional braces, typically in 18-24 months.
