“Train Tracks” This is what dentists call traditional braces, actually, this nick name describes how you are going to feel and look with traditional braces. Some people say that it is not important how you feel during your orthodontic treatment, what really counts is the end result.
Day after day, the importance of cosmetic dentistry increases, in fact, people start to see more and more benefits of orthodontic treatment. You might have to wear your braces for 1 ½ year to 3 years and you definitely will need to feel comfortable and natural as much as possible. Therefore, scientists develop Damon system as a substitute for traditional traces.
Damon system introduces a new technique for treating orthodontic patients. In traditional treatment, your orthodontist will need to extract some of your sound teeth or use palatal expanders to create more space in your jaws; this technique is usually very annoying for most patients, plus it takes a longer period of time to achieve the required results. In some cases, it will cause you a flat profile and a narrower arch. On the contrary, Damon system is designed to exert biologically light and sensible forces to improve your general facial appearance. Thanks to Damon braces, you will enjoy a perfect smile in no time.
A certified Damon system orthodontist will combine 3 key mechanisms together, including:
- Passive self-ligating braces which eliminate the use of elastics or metal ties. Usually, elastics are needed in traditional orthodontic treatment to provide tension that causes gradual movement of teeth; Damon system utilizes a new slide mechanism for wire movement instead of elastics, this new approach promote your teeth to move freely, comfortably and rapidly . Also, this is more hygienic, as conventional elastics are more difficult to be cleaned and they enhance accumulation of plaque.
- Wires used in Damon braces are light in weight, made with high technology, and they are claimed to be shape-memory wires; this deliver faster results with less number of appointments.
- New clinical approach which will improve your teeth alignment and your facial appearance without the need for teeth extractions or palatal expanders.
Typically, treatment period of Damon System is six months shorter than other conventional treatments, with fewer visits to the dental office. You will be amazed with the fast results.And of course, you don’t have to worry about pain and discomfort of tightened braces any more, those days are over. Actually, you will experience little or no discomfort during your entire orthodontic treatment, because the new slide mechanism in braces of Damon system enables your orthodontist to utilize more light forces to correct the position of your teeth.
Furthermore, the Damon System uses your own body natural adaption process to create more space in your jaws, therefore, mostly your dentist will not need to extract some of your natural healthy teeth. Also, Damon system has markedly restricted the need for headgears and palatal expanders.
