Damon braces are a self-ligating system to connect brackets to archwires, instead of the elastic bands used in traditional braces. This allows teeth to move more freely, which can reduce friction and potentially speed up treatment. 

Studies have shown that treatment time with Damon Brackets is typically much faster than with conventional braces. Also, far fewer appointments are required during treatment.

No. In fact, what makes Damon Brackets work so quickly is its use of gentle, more biologically-sensible forces than conventional braces. The low-friction nature of the system ensures improved tooth position and improved facial harmony. Very light-weight, shape memory wires are used to gently guide your teeth to their ideal position resulting in a beautiful Damon Smile.

While braces of any kind may cause slight discomfort, many patients experience very little discomfort with Damon braces because of the system’s low-force, low-friction nature.
