Today, orthodontic treatment is very different from what it used to be. Over the last few decades, there have been many advances in technology that have greatly improved the esthetics, efficiency and comfort of braces.
You probably are aware of the fact that tooth-colored ceramic braces are available for the image conscious patient. And you may have heard about high-tech, self-ligating braces which make treatment gentler and more efficient. The exciting news is that now, you can get all these features together in one bracket—the Damon Clear.
These beautiful, new braces are the ultimate choice in esthetic orthodontic treatment. Damon Clear Brackets are crystal-clear, high-tech braces that do not incorporate any metal in the bracket. They are fabricated out of a strong polycrystalline material which does not stain or discolor like other clear braces can. And a door made out of the same material, covers the wire in the braces making it less conspicuous.
Damon Braces were invented by Dr. Dwight Damon. These high-tech braces provide outstanding patient comfort by using a door, instead of the traditional rubber or metal ties, to hold the archwire in place. The traditional ties act like a bungee cord squeezing the wire down in the braces, increasing the pressure on the teeth and slowing down their movement.
In contrast, the door on the “self-ligating” Damon braces, allows the wire to slide freely in the braces. This technology uses the bare minimum of force and transfers less pressure to the teeth which results in greater patient comfort. The “self-ligating” technology also results in shorter treatment times due to the freedom of movement.
We have been using the Damon System in our office for over a decade and are thrilled with the results. In addition to being a more comfortable and a more efficient system of treatment, it allows us to deliver beautiful smiles without the need for extractions in the vast majority of cases. The Damon System also reduces the need for expanders and jaw surgeries.
Now, Damon Clear allows us to take the Damon System to a new level. They are virtually unnoticeable, and yet they offer all the advantages of fixed orthodontic treatment using the Damon technology. And remember, for the optimal result in orthodontic treatment, fixed braces are always more perfecting than the removable alternatives.
