Damon braces are one of the many advanced technologies we use to make treatment for our patients as comfortable and efficient as possible. Created by Dr. Dwight Damon, Damon braces use brackets and wires to move teeth, but unlike traditional braces, they do not require an elastic tie to hold the wire in place. This allows the wire to move more freely within the bracket. Here at Olson Orthodontics in Litchfield and Buckeye, AZ, we want to help you do what is best for your teeth and smile while giving you the information needed to make informed decisions about your healthcare.
What Are Damon Braces?
Damon braces have taken the traditional metal braces model and updated them to make them smaller, faster, and more comfortable. The advanced design utilizes self-ligating brackets, which allow the Damon system to work faster and with less visits to the orthodontist. Similar to traditional braces, Damon braces are applied to the front of your teeth, and apply pressure to misaligned areas. Damon braces have the advantage of applying consistent pressure through their self-ligating brackets, which means that they are often less painful than traditional braces and are able to broaden the smile. Since the elastic ties are not needed to bind the wire in place, we can see patients less frequently than with traditional braces while also achieving faster straightening of the teeth. Additionally, Damon braces can expand and broaden smiles in patients of any age, so in most cases, extra appliances like expanders are not needed, even in children. Finally, permanent teeth rarely need to be extracted when using Damon braces, saving patients time and money, as well as unnecessary dental discomfort.
