Damon braces are one of the newer types of braces.
They use lightweight materials to provide a smoother and more comfortable fit. These braces are ‘self-ligating,’ meaning they use a slide mechanism to help move the teeth back into position.
This low-friction mechanism consists of small, natural-coloured brackets and archwires that fit over the teeth. The brackets contain a slide mechanism that exerts minimal force to move the teeth over 4 to 6 months. They do not use metal ties, which makes them easy to clean and care for.
Both adults and children wear Damon braces.
They are a lightweight type of brace, virtually invisible to the naked eye yet durable as well. Their virtually invisible appearance is one of several advantages along with the shorter treatment time.
A retainer will need to be worn afterwards to prevent the risk of a relapse. Looking to save money on braces? See MYO Dentals orthodontics braces.
