About Damon Braces

Damon Braces are fixed braces, which offer a host of impressive features. These braces are suitable for the majority of patients, including those who have complex needs. They are made from tooth-coloured and clear components, which makes them much more discreet than traditional metal fixed braces, and they work quickly. Damon Braces feature sliding brackets, which reduce friction, and there are no bands in sight. These braces are also lighter and smaller than conventional fixed braces.

The benefits of Damon Braces

Damon Braces are an excellent example of how far the world of orthodontics has progressed in the last decade. These braces offer:

  • Speed: Damon Braces typically produce results around 4-6 months faster than traditional fixed braces.
  • Comfort: Damon Braces use the latest friction-free technology to minimise discomfort. They also create space, so you don’t have to worry about teeth extracted before treatment.
  • Discretion: Damon Braces aren’t invisible braces, but they are much more discreet than many other types of brace. They are made from clear brackets and wires, so they are barely noticeable when you smile.
  • Versatility: Damon Braces are capable of treating a broad spectrum of orthodontic issues, including crowding, spaces between the teeth, overbite, underbite, crooked teeth and overjet (when the front teeth protrude)

Three Modern Braces You Might Want To Consider

Wednesday, August 26th, 2015

2823674_blogOrthodontics is one of the most rapidly advancing areas of dentistry and patients have an ever-expanding range of options to choose from. If you’re interested in orthodontic treatment to remedy crowding, spaces between the teeth or crooked teeth, here are some of the best modern treatments you may wish to consider:

  1. Damon Braces: Damon Braces are fixed braces, which use the latest technology to minimise treatment times, provide convenient, comfortable treatment and create stunning aesthetics. These sleek, discreet braces feature sliding brackets and clear wires and they employ advanced self-ligating technology to prevent discomfort. Damon Braces offer a modern alternative to traditional train-tracks and they are suited to patients with a diverse range of orthodontic issues, from minor problems to complex issues, which require intensive correction. Treatment times vary according to the individual but the time-span is around 4-6 months shorter than with conventional fixed braces.
  2. The Inman Aligner: the Inman Aligner is a fast and effective solution for minor issues that predominantly concern the front teeth. The aligner is a removable appliance, which is made from two key parts: a coiled spring and fine metal bar. These components generate powerful friction-free forces, which push and pull the teeth, squeezing them and causing them to move rapidly. Although the aligner is generally designed to provide corrective treatment for mild problems, it can also be very useful for those who have already had treatment and started to experience relapse. Treatment is very quick, with an average duration of just 16 weeks and the aligner is removable, which provides convenience and simplicity and discreet, so you don’t have to worry about what you look like once you start treatment.
  3. Invisalign: Invisalign has changed the face of modern orthodontics because it offers clients the option to enjoy virtually invisible treatment. Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of custom-designed aligners, which are made from transparent plastic. Treatment is planned using advanced software, which predicts the movement of the teeth; each individual aligner is designed based on this personalised treatment plan and the patient swaps the aligners over every 2 weeks following a set order. Invisalign is not just a very discreet way of straightening the teeth; it also offers the perks of a removable brace, including freedom and convenience, and there are no metal parts or painful adjustments to contend with. The treatment time will vary depending on how much movement is needed; however, the average duration is around 12 months.

All About Damon Braces

Friday, May 22nd, 2015

18625044If you’re thinking about having orthodontic treatment to straighten out issues and imperfections such as crowded or twisted teeth, we have some truly amazing treatments on offer. In the past, orthodontic patients were often put off having treatment due to a fear of pain and a lack of confidence in the aesthetic of braces. However, orthodontics has advanced rapidly and you can now enjoy comfortable treatment that also offers incredibly discreet aesthetics. With modern treatments such as Damon Braces, you really can have it all!

What are Damon Braces?

Damon Braces are discreet fixed braces that embody everything that is good about modern orthodontic treatment. These innovative braces have been developed with patients in mind and they tick many of the boxes when it comes to patient preferences and desires. Not only do these braces look good, they also use the latest technology to reduce treatment time and prevent discomfort.

Damon Braces are made from streamlined sliding brackets and discreet self-ligating wires that reduce friction and speed up treatment time. They are suited to patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems, including those who have complex needs and therefore are unsuitable candidates for removable braces and aligners.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment times vary for each patient and the length of time you have to wear braces is heavily dependent on how much movement you need and the complexity of the issues that are being resolved by the braces. This treatment is suitable for those who need intensive attention and therefore treatment times may be longer than systems designed for patients with minor issues. Typically, treatment takes between 9 and 24 months. Treatment times are, on average, 4-6 months shorter than traditional fixed braces.

What are the benefits?

Here are just some of the many benefits offered by Damon Braces:

  • comfortable friction-free treatment
  • faster treatment than standard fixed braces
  • discreet aesthetics
  • amazing results
  • no need for extraction prior to treatment
  • suitable for patients with complex prescriptions

A New Type Of Fixed Braces In The City Of Leeds

Friday, December 5th, 2014

2445507_blogIf you are considering orthodontic treatment but worry that a strong hold on your teeth might cause unnecessary pain, then the new Damon braces may be just what you’re looking for. Damon braces are a perfect compromise between the traditional fixed ‘train track’ options and the more modern invisible brace. Their self-litigating system ensures that teeth are effectively moved to the desired position with the aid of wires and small brackets.

What can Damon braces be used for?

Damon braces are a suitable treatment for a number of orthodontic issues, including crowding of the teeth, overbites and underbites, unwanted gaps between teeth and protruding front teeth amongst a number of other concerns.

Features of the Damon braces

The clear brackets that feature in the Damon braces are a much more discreet choice than metal brackets, and both the clear and metal bracket options are significantly smaller than regular braces. The style of Damon braces means that there is no need to use elastic ties, which can often attract plaque, and the light wire that is used moves teeth faster than traditional braces, meaning fewer adjustments are needed. Furthermore, the Damon braces are easy to clean, very comfortable, and often don’t require teeth extractions prior to fitting.

The treatment

Before we provide you with your braces, we will take a few X-Rays of your mouth in order to get a better understanding about the health of your teeth and jaw. Once we have your results, we can then discuss the appropriateness of Damon braces along with expected treatment length and costs.

After your braces have been fitted we will meet with you regularly to adjust the wires and keep tabs on your progress. Each appointment is usually short and the overall time you can expect to wear your Damon brace is 6 months shorter than if you were wearing a regular brace.
