Dental technology and treatments are always changing and improving. A different treatment alternative to traditional metal braces is now available, known as Damon braces.
What Are Damon Braces?
Dr Dwight Damon created Damon braces to shorten treatment times for patients, and to save healthy teeth from dental extractions.
Damon braces are fitted the same way as traditional metal braces, but they have a slide mechanism that attaches wires to brackets, allowing the brackets to move naturally with the teeth as they align.
What Issues Can a Damon Brace Fix?
Damon braces can address a variety of dental issues, including:
- Teeth Spacing
- Crowded Teeth
- Underbite
- Overbite
- Open Bite
- Cross Bite
What are the Benefits of a Damon Braces?
There are many benefits to Damon braces. Some of these are:
Fewer Adjustments – These braces move with the teeth so you may be able to complete treatment with fewer tightening appointments.
Patient Comfort – Damon braces are more comfortable than metal braces.
Aesthetic Results – They are designed to align teeth, which may improve the appearance of your face.
Treatment Time – The treatment time is often shorter than for metal braces.
Tooth Preservation – In some cases, extractions may be unnecessary with Damon braces.
