Patients of all ages often ask our team what can be done to improve their smile, bite and tooth alignment.
The Damon brace is a more subtle, quicker option that is similar to the traditional fixed braces that many people are familiar with.
Damon braces differ from traditional fixed braces in a number of ways. Aesthetically, they use clear brackets as opposed to metal, so although the metal wires are still visible, many patients feel the near-invisible quality of the clear brackets help the brace to be much more subtle.
Also, instead of having brackets that tighten for regular adjustment, the Damon braces use a slide mechanism to connect the wire to the bracket, allowing them to move more naturally as the teeth align. This makes them more comfortable for the patient, and they are able to deliver faster results
Your dentist will take the time to discuss your treatment options if you are considering teeth straightening. If you both decide that Damon braces are the most suitable option for the result you require, impressions will be taken of your teeth so the braces can be custom-made for you.
When they are ready you will return to see your dentist for fitting, where they will also help you to understand the most effective ways to look after and clean your new braces and teeth. You will need to return for check-ups and adjustments, and although treatment times vary between patients, the sliding mechanism means we would expect results between six months and one year.
Damon Braces offer a number of benefits over traditional braces, including:
At Chiswick Park Dental, we understand that every patient’s orthodontic needs are unique. Damon Braces offer a fast, effective, and comfortable solution for patients of all ages. Our team of skilled orthodontists is committed to providing personalized care and treatment to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. We use state-of-the-art technology and the latest techniques to ensure the best possible results for our patients.
The process for getting Damon Braces typically involves the following steps:
During your initial consultation, our orthodontist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. We will take digital X-rays and impressions to create a custom treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
If Damon Braces are the right treatment for you, the next step will be placing the braces on your teeth. This procedure is generally comfortable and can be done in a single visit. The brackets are placed on the teeth, and the wires are threaded through the brackets.
While Damon Braces require fewer adjustments than traditional braces, you will still need to visit our office regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits are usually quick and convenient.
Once your treatment is complete, your braces will be removed, and you will be given a retainer to ensure your teeth stay in their new position. Retainers are typically worn at night to maintain the results of your treatment.
Damon braces are a type of fixed orthodontic system that uses clear brackets and a unique sliding mechanism to move teeth. They provide faster and more comfortable treatment compared to traditional braces.
Treatment typically lasts between six months to one year, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s individual needs.
While the metal wires are visible, the clear brackets used in Damon braces make them much less noticeable compared to traditional metal braces, offering a more discreet appearance.
Damon braces use a sliding mechanism that allows the wires to move freely, reducing the need for frequent adjustments and providing a more comfortable experience.
Damon braces are designed to be more comfortable than traditional braces due to their sliding mechanism, which reduces pressure on the teeth and minimizes discomfort during treatment.
