Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets is that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.

What makes the Damon System different? Many things, such as:

  • Tie-less braces that don't need to be "tightened" and are gentle to the teeth and tissues.
  • High-technology, memory-shape wires that quickly move teeth and require fewer adjustment.
  • A clinically proven treatment approach that aligns teeth and enhances facial aesthetics - usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.
  • Fast treatment time and few office visits

img_damon_04.jpgWith the Damon® System, treatment time is typically shorter than with traditional braces. Shorter treatment time means fewer appointments and a beautiful smile...faster. You may be surprised at how fast.

The Damon® System employs a unique treatment philosophy that goes beyond straight teeth to create broad beautiful smiles. We take into account each patients' face, profile and other factors, anticipating what patients will look like in their 40's, 50's and beyond.

The days of having braces tightened are over. The Damon® System uses tie-less brackets that reduce the pressure on your teeth, allowing them to move more comfortably to their correct positions. This innovative approach to orthodontics ensures greater comfort throughout treatment.

img_damon_08.jpgStraight teeth and a beautiful smile can enhance self-esteem and self-confidence at any age, plus improve overall oral health. Ask your orthodontist how you can benefit from the Damon® System. It's never too late to look and feel great.

Damons’ clinically proven advantages include:

  • Extraordinary results for smiles and faces
  • Fast treatment time and few office visits
  • Outstanding comfort with no tightening
  • No headgear or tooth extractions in most cases
  • Easy to keep clean

The Damon® 3 bracket offers several benefits for patients. It is made from stainless steel for stability and a clear material for aesthetics. The rounded structure improves patient comfort while maintaining overall performance.

The Damon® 3 System uses a self-ligation technique using lighter wires and lower friction brackets to move teeth, resulting in faster treatment times. Its slide mechanism, strong mechanical base, bonding and solid wall structure control tooth movement with speed and efficiency.

In addition to greater comfort, the Damon® System makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene because the brackets are easier to keep clean. This contributes to greater overall health, happiness and physical attractiveness for the duration of treatment.
