But while traditional braces have elastic bands surrounding each bracket, Damon braces use a self-ligating system to connect archwires to brackets, instead of elastic ties which are common with traditional braces. One claim is that Damon braces are more comfortable than traditional braces. For some people, this might create less pressure and friction, possibly resulting in less pain and discomfort. The truth is, people respond differently to braces.
The comfort level often depends on other factors such as the complexity of movement, wires, and other material. The wires on Damon braces do exert a lighter force when shifting teeth, which is believed to contribute to less discomfort in some people.
Like any type of braces, it can take a few days to get used to the system, so you might have temporary soreness. Some orthodontists also claim that Damon braces like other self-ligating systems can result in fewer orthodontic visits and adjustments compared to traditional braces. Elastic ties and bands common with traditional braces can loosen over time, requiring periodic replacement. Sometimes, one of the doors that holds the bracket to the wire opens up.
This might require an emergency appointment to correct. Damon braces work as well as other systems for many issues such as an overbite , an underbite , uneven teeth, or crowded teeth.
Some orthodontists prefer to use this system and recommend it to their patients, but you can also achieve results with other styles of braces. The main difference between Damon braces and traditional braces is that the latter uses elastic bands or ties to hold wires and brackets in place.
The elastic with traditional braces are often tight, which puts pressure and tension on teeth. Also, elastic bands are noticeable. Bacteria can also collect on the elastic bands, triggering dental hygiene issues.
At Houston Orthodontic Specialists, one of the things that really sets us apart is our use of advanced treatment options and techniques to help our patients get better results more comfortably and efficiently. Self-ligating braces fit the bill. Damon system braces are a type of self-ligating braces. At our practice, we offer Damon metal braces and Damon clear braces.
All braces utilize brackets and wires to shift the teeth into place. However, self-ligating braces connect the archwires to the brackets using slides, doors or clips. The Damon system relies on a patented slide mechanism. The wires move freely and there is less friction. Damon Smile is not just about revolutionary braces and wires; it's a whole new way of treating patients! Damon tie-less braces eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties.
Even though Damon Smile works so quickly, the use of gentle, low-friction force means less discomfort for you. Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties, which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.
Damon braces give excellent results. Studies show the Damon system produces straight teeth and, at the same time, widens the patient's arch to allow more room for crowded teeth, sometimes without the use of a palate expander or surgery.
But not only do Damon braces give you great results, they also give you more time. This is more convenient for you and more comfortable than with traditional braces because teeth can be quite sensitive after a tightening session.
