Damon Brace (from doctor)
Damon System braces are suitable for all ages, including young children, teenagers and adults. These braces combine three key components, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results:
- Damon passive self-ligating braces utilizes a slide mechanism that eliminates the need for elastic or metal "ties". With Damon tie-less braces you can experience treatment without tightening.
- Light high-technology shape-memory wires move teeth faster with lighter forces and require fewer adjustments.
- A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and enhances your facial esthetics—usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.
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. Plus, the Damon System is available in clear brackets for the upper arch (Damon Clear).

- Fewer extractions
