Damon System Braces

Damon System Braces

Thanks to modern dental technology, we now have a better way to approach the traditional system of braces. Damon braces are tie-less and use a slide mechanism to hold the wire in place versus the elastic bands that are associated with traditional braces. With the Damon System, you’ll have a beautiful, straight smile in less time and with less discomfort!

Damon Braces 101

Damon braces are a completely new take on traditional braces, featuring high-tech archwires that make the initial tooth-movement process quicker and more efficient. As a bonus, they come in both metal and clear forms so you can customize your look.

Benefits of Damon System Braces

  • Unlike traditional braces, Damon braces have no elastic bands, meaning less pressure is put on each tooth.
  • The slide system of Damon braces allows the initial tooth movement to align with less pressure since the self-ligating system has less friction than traditional braces.
  • Damon braces are easier to clean, as there’s no elastic to get in the way or attract plaque.
  • The clear option is ideal for patients who are looking for a subtler, more discreet appearance.

What Makes Damon Braces Different?

The colorful elastic ties on traditional braces may have been around for years, but these common ties actually place more pressure on the tooth, creating friction and making it harder for the teeth to move. It’s similar to a parking brake—the elastic pushes up against the wire and slows down movement.

Damon System braces do not have these colorful elastics. Instead, the wire simply slides into a mechanism that allows teeth to move more freely with less discomfort to the patient. Since your teeth have more freedom of motion, your orthodontist, Dr. Pratt Manning, doesn’t have to adjust them as much, meaning you spend less time in the office and more time doing what you love.
