There are many ways to straighten teeth and achieve a confident, dazzling smile. Traditional braces have long been the go-to option, but advancements in orthodontic technology have introduced exciting alternatives. If you're considering orthodontic treatment, you might be curious about Damon braces.
Damon braces are a type of self-ligating braces that utilize a unique slide mechanism instead of traditional elastics (ties) to hold the archwire in place. This innovative technology offers several advantages over traditional braces, potentially making your journey towards a straighter smile faster, more comfortable, and more convenient.

Damon braces are a versatile treatment option suitable for addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues, including gaps between the teeth, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. They are effective for patients of all ages, including even the most complex cases.
During your consultation at Harmony, our Specialist Orthodontist will discuss your specific needs and goals. They will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw, and take X-rays or intraoral scans. Based on this evaluation, they will determine if Damon braces are the right treatment option for you. They will also answer any questions you may have about the treatment process, costs, and expected results.
Not necessarily. In many cases, treatments with Damon braces allow for tooth movement without extractions, depending on the specific goals and complexity of your case. Your orthodontist will discuss this during your consultation.
Damon braces are "self-ligating" because they use a specialized sliding mechanism to hold the archwire in place, instead of traditional elastic or metal ties. This allows the wire to move more freely within the bracket, reducing friction and often resulting in quicker, more comfortable adjustments and overall treatment times.
The Damon System has been proven to treat faster and require fewer appointments than traditional braces. Light force, high-technology, shape-memory wires move teeth more efficiently, reducing office visits and treatment times to help you better manage your busy schedule.
Both Damon braces and clear aligners aim to straighten teeth. However, they work differently:
Your orthodontist can advise on which option is best suited to your individual needs and preferences.
With Damon braces, you can eat most foods normally, but it's important to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage your braces. Soft foods and careful chewing can help maintain the braces and ensure effective treatment. Your orthodontist will provide specific guidelines on what foods to avoid and how to care for your braces to ensure the best results.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Your orthodontist will provide a more specific estimate during your consultation.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential with any type of braces. Brush and floss regularly, using proper techniques to clean around the brackets and wires. Your orthodontist will provide specific instructions on how to care for your braces. Additionally, be sure to schedule regular cleanings to help prevent plaque buildup and gum disease while wearing braces.
After completing your treatment, you'll likely need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. Your orthodontist will create a customized retention plan to ensure your teeth stay in their new positions.
