Damon braces are known for their ability to deliver results more quickly than traditional metal braces. The low-friction, self-ligating system allows teeth to move more freely and efficiently, potentially shortening your overall treatment time.
The gentle, continuous pressure applied by Damon braces, combined with the absence of tight elastic bands, leads to a more comfortable orthodontic experience. Damon braces are also smaller, smoother and more discreet than traditional metal braces. Patients often report less pain and soreness compared to traditional metal braces.
Without the need for elastic ties, Damon braces are easier to keep clean. The absence of these bands eliminates a common trap for food particles and plaque buildup, making brushing and flossing simpler and promoting better oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
The highly efficient nature of Damon braces means fewer trips to the orthodontist. This not only saves you time, but also makes managing your treatment more convenient with less disruption to your daily life.
Your path to a perfect smile begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment at our Bryn Mawr practice. During this initial visit, Dr. Karen Conn or Dr. Ross Segal will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw structure. This assessment typically includes taking digital X-rays, photographs, and a 3D video model of your teeth to create a detailed map of your mouth. The doctor will discuss your orthodontic concerns and goals, providing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This crucial step ensures that your braces are designed to address your unique dental challenges, setting the stage for successful treatment.
Once your personalized treatment plan is finalized, the next step involves the application of the braces. During this appointment, Dr. Conn or Dr. Segal will carefully place each bracket. Colors are selected if wanted and the archwire is then secured. This process is meticulously executed to ensure the braces are positioned correctly for optimal results. While you may experience some initial tightness, it usually subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the new appliance.
A key advantage of Damon braces is the reduced number of follow-up appointments. Since the self-ligating system allows for less friction and more efficient tooth movement, adjustments are typically scheduled every 8-12 weeks. During these visits, Dr. Conn or Dr. Segal will assess the movement of your teeth and make any necessary adjustments to the archwire. These appointments are often quicker and more comfortable than those with traditional braces, ensuring your treatment stays on course and leads to the desired outcome in less time.
Damon braces are easier to keep clean since they don’t use elastic ties, which can trap food and plaque. However, good oral hygiene—brushing and flossing regularly—is still essential to keep teeth and gums healthy during treatment.
