Damon® self-ligating braces

At SmartDontics, we offer our patients the latest advancements in orthodontic treatment to make your smile journey as swift and enjoyable as possible. That’s why we are proud to offer a modern alternative to metal braces: Damon braces.

What are Damon® braces?

Damon braces are a special type of brace known as ‘self-ligating’ braces. This means they have special brackets with sliding mechanisms that don’t require elastic bands to hold them together. Instead, the archwire can slide smoothly through metal clips on the brackets.

Because your archwire can slide and self adjust, Damon braces don’t require as many adjustment appointments as other braces. There is also a lot less friction during treatment, which makes Damon braces especially efficient and comfortable.

Benefits of Damon® braces

Damon braces are a favourite among our patients because the allow for:

Increased comfort - Damon braces require less force and friction when straightening your smile.
Faster treatment - Your teeth can move more efficiently with Damon braces, which can reduce your overall treatment time by four to six months.
Fewer appointments - Because the archwire is self-adjusting, we won’t need to see you as often for adjustment appointments.
Fewer extractions - The Damon System makes space naturally for any crowded teeth by gently expanding the dental arches.
Increased discretion - Damon brackets are smaller than traditional brackets and come with a discreet clear option.
A custom fit - We can design each bracket to fit your individual teeth, so your treatment can have unparalleled precision.
