“I loved my Damon braces, I loved the [Damon] clear because I worked with people…they didn’t even know that I had anything on my teeth until I got close enough to them.”

the damon™ system
is different

The Damon System is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses less force than traditional braces. Because there are no elastic ties that need “tightening,” the teeth can move more quickly and freely, and treatment is typically faster and more comfortable than traditional braces.

are all braces the same?

Not at all! Orthodontic treatment has changed drastically the last several years, and there are more options than ever before.

Traditional braces offer many benefits, and in some cases, may be the best choice for you. Your orthodontist will recommend the system that can best help you reach your goals.

The Damon™ System—an advanced approach to orthodontic treatment that uses less force—may also be recommended. The Damon™ System doesn’t require “tightening,” and does more than straighten your teeth—it helps enhance your entire face.

traditionalHigh force braces with
elastic ties

Traditional braces use elastics that “bind” archwires in place, and must be “tightened” at appointments. These elastics cause friction and pressure, which may make treatment slower and less comfortable.  

Damon™ systemLight force “tie-less” braces

Damon “tie-less” braces don’t require elastics; instead, they use a unique sliding door that maintains the wire within the bracket, allowing teeth to move more freely, quickly, and with more comfort.

facial aesthetics

Using the Damon System, your orthodontist may be able to widen your arch for a broader, more beautiful smile.

FAQ

FAQ

Will I experience discomfort in treatment?

No elastic ties, no “tightening”

Traditional braces use elastic ties that “bind” archwires in place and must be changed monthly (known as “tightening”). Damon™ uses tie-less braces with a unique sliding door to hold wires in place and do not require “tightening.” This allows the wires to move more freely, with less discomfort than traditional braces.1

FAQ

faq

Will I need a palatal expander,
surgery or tooth extractions?

Create space naturally

The Damon™ System works in harmony with the body’s own adaptive abilities to create space and broaden arches naturally. Orthodontists can treat most cases without extractions, palatal expanders, or surgery with the Damon System.

However, for your unique smile and treatment goals, your orthodontist may recommend additional procedures to complement your Damon System treatment.

FAQ

faq

are results the same
for braces and aligners?

Great results for a lifetime

Aligners can be effective at treating mild to moderate tooth crowding, but according to clinical studies, do not treat as effectively as braces. Braces are also associated with fewer cases of relapse (teeth moving back to
pre-treatment position) than aligners.1,2

Are braces difficult to clean?

Traditional braces use elastic ties to hold wires. These ties collect plaque, which is bad for your teeth and gums.1 The DamonTM System braces do not use elastic ties and are easy to keep clean with daily brushing and flossing.

FAQ

FAQ

Are clear aligners easier to
maintain than fixed braces?

Clear aligners must be worn a minimum of 20 – 22 hours per day—every day. Failure to do so will lengthen treatment time. Throughout the day, you must remove aligners for eating and drinking. This makes it easy for aligners to get lost, costing you more in the long run with replacements.

when should i
see an orthodontist?

You should see an orthodontist when you are interested in improving the overall quality of your smile.

Here are some key differences between orthodontists and general dentists:

ORTHODONTISTS

Focus on health of teeth and smile as a whole

Specialize in creating optimal treatment plans that account for all of the variables of your mouth to give you the most beautiful smile

Experts in moving teeth and aligning jaws

Dedicate their professional lives to creating healthy, beautiful smiles for children, teens and adults

General dentists

Focus on health and hygiene of each individual tooth

Experts in preserving and restoring tooth health

Dedicate their professional lives to helping maintain the oral health of children, teens and adults

why should i
see an orthodontist?

“All orthodontists are dentists first. Out of 100 dental school graduates, only six go on to become orthodontists.“

- from the American Association of Orthodontists

As you can see, orthodontists seek to achieve a beautiful smile, which is way more than straight teeth. Only an orthodontist is specially trained to help you achieve a truly beautiful smile.
