What Are Damon Braces?
Damon braces have taken the traditional metal braces model and updated them to make them stronger, faster, and more comfortable. The new design boasts 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, and help set your smile straight. Damon braces have the advantage of applying consistent pressure through their self-ligating brackets, which means that they are less painful than traditional braces as well.
