Self-ligating braces using the Damon System
What are self-ligating braces using the Damon system?
Damon System self-ligating braces – Traditional braces use o-rings to force your teeth into place. Damon braces, on the other hand, do not rely on o-rings or metal-tie wires to secure the archwires. They employ a sliding mechanism instead. Your teeth can still move freely even if they are still pressed into position. You may feel less pain as a consequence.
Pros:
- Compact and easy to clean. Although this is controversial, you will most likely feel less pain.
- Fewer appointments are required to place braces or alter them.
- Because of the low-profile brackets and lack of ties, there is more comfort.
- Shorter treatment time due to efficient tooth movement
- High-tech archwire design and production
Cons:
- Whereas self-ligating transparent braces have a lower effective cost.
- Irritation Although most of the therapy is generally painless, some individuals may endure an adjustment phase once the braces are fitted. On rare cases, mouth ulcers are induced by brace friction.
- Even though it is dubbed a clear brace, the metal archwires running over the lower and upper teeth are still visible to others.
