What’s the difference between Damon and traditional braces?
Traditional braces use a system of brackets and wires to straighten teeth. Since traditional braces depend on elastic ties to hold the wire onto the bracket, they must be consistently adjusted to continue shifting the teeth. Tightening appointments for braces can be a painful experience that adds up to an overall longer treatment time.
Not only are they uncomfortable, but traditional braces are also bulky and easily visible. Components like elastics can cause wearers to feel uncomfortable and awkward in their daily life.
However, Damon System Braces have a patented self-ligating bracket design that opens and closes like a door. These brackets secure the archwire into place and eliminate the need for elastic bands. Since the brackets can slide freely along the archwire, the teeth are more flexible to movement.
You don’t have to worry about tightening appointments because the system is always working. Damon self-ligating braces offer a sleeker, faster, and more comfortable treatment option.
The Damon System Braces advantage
With Damon System Braces, unsightly and clunky braces are a thing of the past. Since Damon Metal Braces don’t depend on elastic bands to move teeth, they are far less noticeable. Black Orthodontics also offers Damon Clear Braces, a discreet alternative to its metal counterpart.
Since Damon Braces are self-ligating, the teeth are more adaptable to movement. They are much more gentle on teeth and sensitive mouth tissue, allowing for faster and more comfortable treatment. Plus, the minimal and elastic-free design of Damon Braces attracts less plaque and makes brushing and flossing easier!
