If you’re searching for an orthodontic treatment, which combines the reliability and efficacy of fixed braces with the innovation and discretion of modern braces, we have the perfect treatment for you: Damon Braces.
Damon Braces are often described as a hybrid treatment because they combine new technology and design concepts with the ability to produce amazing results like traditional fixed braces. These braces offer a modern alternative to traditional orthodontics for patients with moderate and complex orthodontic issues.
About Damon Braces
Damon Braces are fixed braces, which use innovative technology which lessens the time needed to treat the teeth and creates incredible results. Damon Braces are different to traditional fixed braces because they have self-ligating wires and sliding brackets; these brackets not only produce gentle forces, which are extremely effective for bringing about tooth movement, they are also easier to clean.
Damon Braces are smaller than traditional braces and they don’t have elastic or dental bands; there’s no need for painful tightening and most patients don’t have to undergo extraction before they start treatment, as the braces are capable of creating space.
What do Damon Braces look like?
Damon Braces aren’t invisible like clear aligners, but they are much less noticeable than traditional braces, as the brackets are clear; the braces are also smaller.
How long does treatment take?
Damon Braces are suitable for patients who need a lot of movement and they are often recommended as an change from traditional fixed braces; as a result of this, treatment times are longer than systems that are aimed at patients with minor issues. That said, this system works faster than conventional fixed braces and treatment time is usually around 4-6 months shorter than traditional braces. Typically, you can expect to wear Damon Braces for between 12 and 24 months. Once you have had your initial consultation, your City Dental dentist will be able to give you an accurate idea of your predicted treatment time.
Choosing the right braces comes down to number of factors from age, who you are and where you are. If you are young and still at school, it can be a tempestuous time and so you want to get through it pretty much unscathed and your choice of braces is of the utmost importance. Most now sit discreetly in the mouth, unlike the ‘railway connections at Leeds train station’ looking braces that were once the only option; the ‘Damon’ and ‘the 6 months smile’, colour code their fittings to match your teeth. But for total discretion, feast your eyes on ‘Clear smile’ or ‘Invisalign’, for these are completely transparent- and removable too! These braces also work for adults, though at this stage of life, lengthy treatments may not fit into your equation, although the clear aligners probably would because the offer total discretion- great for work and great at home, and if your have an incredibly important 2 hours to get through, then simply take them out!
You needn’t be put off the thought of having your teeth straightened by the prospect of having to cope with a mouth full of metal wires and brackets. Modern technological advances have helped to create a product that can effectively straighten your smile without all the metal. Damon braces are already incredibly popular in the United States thanks to their ability to straighten teeth in a more discreet fashion and your Central Leeds dentist will be able to tell you more.
If you are resigned to the fact that you have to wear a brace, chances are you’re thinking of the more traditional methods where you are subjected to up to 3 years of hell. Well you should think again, says a dentist from the city of Leeds. The field of orthodontics deals with maintaining the correct alignment to occlusion or the bite of the jaw. To do this can involve the fitting of braces. But with the advances in technology and modern dentist procedures, this doesn’t have to be a long drawn out process anymore, thanks to three revolutionary techniques. The Inman aligner is aimed primarily at the front teeth of adults. A coil spring exerts pressure on the teeth, whilst a bar behind reverses that pressure. The result is that the teeth are gently pushed and pulled into position and the process can be over in as little as 6 weeks. This is also a lot cheaper than other techniques. The Damon brace uses a self-ligating wire to allow the brace to move with the teeth. It appears discreet in the mouth and is easy to clean and quicker than conventional braces. The most expensive option is the Invasalign. An ‘invisible’ retainer is fitted to the teeth and can carry out full adjustment of the teeth in a minimum of 12 months. It has to be changed every month, but its main advantage is that it can be removed during eating and when cleaning the teeth.
If we were being completely honest, in an ideal world no one would want to have braces and would always choose to have perfectly straight teeth. Unfortunately, we can’t all be that lucky and for many people the only option to straighten crooked or uneven teeth is to have orthodontic treatment.
Teeth straightening is the process of realigning teeth using orthodontic straightening devices, more commonly known as braces. Everyone is probably familiar with braces as they have become incredibly popular over the last two decades, as it became more important to have straighter teeth.
