Damon
Smiles are
More
Than Straight Teeth
*Extraordinary
results for smiles and faces.
*Faster
treatment time.
*No
tooth extractions in most cases.
*Greater
comfort without tightening.
*No
headgear.
*Fewer
office visits.
*It’s
more Than Just a Bracket.
*Passive
self-lighting braces that is much gentler to the teeth.
*High-technology
wires that move teeth much faster and require far fewer
adjustments.
*A
clinically proven treatment approach that aligns the
teeth and enhances facial aesthetics – usually without
extractions.
Other
styles of braces use elastics or active clips that
“bind” arch wires in place.
*Elastics and
active clips used to hold wires in can act like parking
brakes.
They cause and,
making treatment slower and less comfortable.
*With the Damon
System teeth move more freely and comfortably throughout
treatment.
*What’s
wrong with Tooth Extractions?
•
How common are
tooth extractions?
–
A recent survey by
reports that more than 40% of children have permanent
teeth pulled as part of treatment.
•
The removal of
healthy teeth should only be a last resort.
•
In some cases,
tooth extractions can contribute to a flatter
facial profile, especially with age.
•
The Damon
System’s innovative technology eliminates the need for
tooth extractions in the vast majority of cases.
*How
can the Damon System create space without extractions or
RPEs?
•
CT research has
shown that using light, consistent pressure throughout
treatment stimulates a natural adaptive process to
broaden arches, which
creates space and a full, beautiful smile.
*Are
Damon System Braces Right For You?
Some braces are
just that: braces. The Damon System is a unique
treatment philosophy that goes beyond straight teeth to
create broad, beautiful smiles. We take into account the
patient’s face, profile and other factors,
anticipating what they will
look like in their 40s, 50s and beyond. The Damon
System delivers results for a lifetime.
*How long does
treatment take?
Treatment time with the Damon System is typically
much faster than with conventional braces. Another
benefit: Far fewer appointments are required during
treatment.
*Since the Damon System works so quickly, does that mean it
is harsh or unsafe?
No. In fact, what
makes the Damon System work so quickly is that it uses
far gentler, more biologically sensible forces than
conventional braces. The low-friction nature of the
system assures improved tooth position and facial
harmony.
*Will my teeth hurt after adjustments?
Very light “shape
memory” titanium wires are used that gently guide your
teeth to their ideal position.
Many people experience very little discomfort.
*Are the results stable?
Damon results are
built to last. Since most teeth do have a tendency to
return to their original positions, it may be necessary
to wear
some type of removable retention
device at night – such as a Damon, Splint –
following treatment.
*Aren’t braces big and bulky?
Not any more!
Braces are much smaller than they were just a few years
ago, and new materials are now used that make them very
discreet.
*What about adult treatment?
No problem. Adults
can be treated quickly, easily and most importantly, to
a high-quality result.
