Damon Braces: A Modern Approach to Traditional Braces

Damon Braces are designed to be comfortable, discreet, and efficient. Unlike traditional braces, they use a self-ligating (not a tie-in) system, which can reduce the need for frequent tightening.

Clear Bracket Option: Choose between metal or clear brackets for a more discreet look.
Faster Treatment: Often reduces overall treatment time compared to traditional braces.
More Comfortable: Adjusted via periodic wire replacement rather than uncomfortable tightening. Less friction and pressure on teeth.
No Elastic Ties: Easier to clean and maintain when compared to traditional wire braces.

Clear Aligners vs. Braces: Which Is Right for You?

Both clear aligners and Damon Braces have their benefits. However, the best choice for you will depend on your unique dental needs and lifestyle. The best way to determine the best fit for your orthodontic treatment is to come in for a consultation. However, the following points might give you a little guidance until then:

Choose Clear Aligners If: You want a discreet, removable option with fewer office visits.
Choose Damon® Braces If: You prefer a fixed, low-maintenance option or have a very complex case that may be beyond the capability of clear aligners.
