Here at Smile Design Studio we use an orthodontic system known as Damon braces. Damon braces differs from traditional or conventional braces in that it uses a technology known as passive self-ligation and what passive self-ligation does is it allows us to place a much lighter force with less friction on the teeth in order to move them. Compared to traditional or conventional braces which places a fairly heavy force and involves a lot friction because of the elastics which hold those wires and brackets on the teeth. Having a lighter force on the teeth really presents us with the advantages that Damon braces have and that is it allows us to have a much faster treatment time. Most Damon cases are finished in around 18 months compared to traditional braces which may be you know 2-3 I have even heard of 4 to 5 year long cases. So apart from faster treatment results we also get a lot less pain and discomfort. Having a much lighter force being placed on the teeth they are less likely to be sore during treatment and less likely to get damage done to the teeth. There are less risks involved such as teeth dying or roots of the teeth becoming shortened as a result of heavy forces placed on those teeth. So we have: faster treatment time, less pain and discomfort, less risks. But also the most important thing of all with Damon braces is the advantage of having better results. So with Damon braces because of the light forces we are able to actually change the way in which the jaws are shaped. So we can develop arches and we can create space without having to remove any teeth in order to do so. We can expand the palate, we can make the jaws wider and larger in order to make room for the teeth to be aligned and in that way Damon braces actually creates a much more beautiful, fuller, wider smile. So all in all there is really no disadvantage when it comes to Damon braces. Damon braces is a fantastic system which we use here at Smile Design Studio and let us know if we can help you to create a beautiful smile.
