Damon™ Self-Ligating Braces
Damon braces use a revolutionary self-ligating bracket system that eliminates the need for elastic ties. The result is less friction, greater comfort, shorter treatment times, and fewer office visits — all while achieving a broader, more natural smile.
Key Benefits
What Makes Damon Braces Different?
Traditional braces use elastic ties to hold the archwire to each bracket. These ties create friction that slows tooth movement and requires more force — which can mean more discomfort and longer treatment times.
Damon braces use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties. The archwire sits freely inside the bracket, allowing teeth to move more naturally and efficiently. This passive self-ligation means less friction, less force, and a more comfortable experience throughout treatment.
Damon™ Clear
For patients who want the benefits of the Damon system with a more aesthetic appearance, Damon Clear brackets are available. Made from a translucent material, Damon Clear brackets are much less noticeable than metal braces while delivering the same efficiency and results as the standard Damon system.
Damon Clear brackets are stain-resistant and designed to maintain their clarity throughout treatment — making them an excellent choice for teens and adults.
The Damon Smile
One of the most distinctive outcomes of Damon treatment is the broader, more natural smile it creates. The Damon system is designed to develop the arch naturally, resulting in a fuller smile that frames the face beautifully. Many patients notice not just straighter teeth, but a more harmonious overall facial appearance.
