Damon system

More then straight teeth!​

The effect of a bad position of our teeth is visible on our face. It affects the position of lips and facial muscles, which can largely reflect on your appearance. In addition to aesthetic, there are also other negative effects such as difficult maintenance of oral hygiene, resorption, bone loss, joint problems, etc. Because of this, there is a need for the use of a dental prosthesis. Damon system is a recommendation and the choice of experts in our dental office that is certified for Damon system. Damon prostheses are suitable for patients of all ages both adults for children, Damon system is certainly the best choice.

What is Damon system?

At first, it may seem that Damon system is just another fixed prosthesis, since Damon braces include a wire that goes through the bracket heads as well. However, while traditional, regular braces require a rubber tie to hold the wire in the bracket slot, Damon braces are self-ligated brackets. They use a small sliding door to capture the wire.

However, being self-ligated braces is not the most important feature of Damon system. In fact, there is a concept of the application of biological forces that is a new approach to the therapy. That is exactly what the most important feature of Damon system is. Biological forces are mild continuous forces that enable a tooth restoration to its proper position. These forces are similar to the forces created by facial muscles. On the other hand, due to the use of ligatures, traditional braces can produce stronger and more aggressive pressure on teeth that can bring about negative effects.

In our office, after orthodontic check-up, patients’ bite registration is taken. After that, the analysis of the model and certain X-rays is conducted. Before placing a fixed prosthesis, it is necessary to teat cavities and remove tartar build-up.

After setting fixed prosthesis, patients receive all necessary instructions on how to chew, avoid certain things in their diet, and, most importantly, detailed maintenance of oral hygiene. It is important for patients with fixed prosthesis to have healthy teeth after therapy as well.

Benefits of Damon system:

  • While traditional, regular braces sometimes require extraction of healthy teeth to make room for proper tooth position, Damon braces most often do not require it. In addition, with Damon braces, there is no need for palatal expansion. Biological forces are responsible for this, which are efficient enough to put all teeth to an ideal position.
  • Damon braces therapy lasts shorter compared to regular fixed braces for up to 6 months.
  • As a result of teeth extraction and the use of traditional braces, a curled profile may appear. However, Damon braces lead to the creation of an ideal arch shape, which positively reflects on the entire patients' face. Damon system brings a wide smile
  • Damon braces can lead to a really large shift in tooth position, the process is neither painful nor unpleasant. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, biological forces are extremely mild and continuous. Secondly, by milder forces you get to the end of the treatment faster, because a part of the force is not wasted on friction like with traditional fixed braces.
  • In addition, Damon braces reduces the need for check-ups by 48% due to the lack of need to change ligature. The most common check-ups are in two months. Therefore, it is a great opportunity for patients from abroad, since the price of Damon braces is considerably cheaper in our country.

  • The maintenance of Damon braces is greatly facilitated, which leads to a higher level of hygiene. This is due to the absence of ligatures where usually food deposits are built up
  • Damon braces are aesthetically more effective due to its discretion. There is also a special type of invisible and innovative Damon Clear which combines tieless braces with high technology archwires.
  • А clinically proven treatment approach that aligns teeth and enhances aesthetics- usually without extractions od rapid palatal expanders.
  • Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the a mount of pressure exertedon the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. Thanks to these innovative braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible.
  • There is also a special type of invisible and innovative Damon Clear which combine stieless braces with high technology arch wires.

Damon Clear uses what’s called a “passive” slide mechanism to maintain archwires within the bracket, allowing them to move freely. This reduces friction and binding, so your teeth can move quickly and more comfortably.

Other styles of braces use elastics or active clips that “bind” archwires in place. This creates friction and pressure that act like parking brakes and can slow down treatment.
