Damon System
Traditional braces (left) vs Damon braces (right)
The Damon System appliances are an innovative clinical technology that makes orthodontic treatment more efficient and more comfortable than ever before.
The traditional treatment involving tying archwires in with elastic ties causes friction.
This involves heavier forces to move the teeth, resulting in a longer treatment time. Self-ligation appliances have a built-in "sliding door" that holds the wire in place while allowing it to slide freely back and forth.
This system allows the use of high-tech, light-force wires to achieve tooth movement.
This results in less pressure to the teeth, thus more comfortable treatment. Treatment time can be dramatically reduced. This means fewer adjustments, which result in less frequent office visits to achieve treatment goals.
The Damon System now offers a clear ceramic alternative for those who prefer a less visible option. For the issues that cannot be solved with Invisalign, there are other options. Although more visible than Invisalign, we have come long ways from the ‘metal mouths’ of the 80s. The orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic or acrylic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. You can choose brackets that have clear color. Wires are also less noticeable than they used to be and the latest materials move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients.
The number of adults choosing orthodontics is on the rise. Today one out of every four orthodontic patients is an adult. Contrary to popular belief, wearing braces interferes little in an adult lifestyle. Patients can make business presentations, sing, play a musical instrument, dine out-and, of course, kiss!
