Damon braces – a fast and effective treatment option

The Damon
process

Damon braces are made up of brackets which are fitted to the surface of your teeth, much like traditional braces, but these ones use self-ligating brackets. This means each individual bracket contains a small gate which works like a sliding door. The archwire is clipped rather than fixed into position allowing it to move freely and therefore work more quickly. It also reduces the friction within the brace system, which can slow down the movement of teeth. Because the arch wire can move more freely, patients wearing Damon braces can see results six months faster than those wearing conventional braces.
