Traditional orthodontic therapy involves tying in archwires with colored elastics or small stainless steel wires. This can bind up the archwire and cause the teeth to move at a slower rate. Heavy forces must be applied to overcome inherent friction in the traditional bracket system. These heavy forces can overpower or crush the very delicate underlying blood vessels cutting off oxygen and nutrients. This can be more painful, actually slow down tooth movement, and lengthen the time of treatment. Damon Braces, however, takes a completely different approach. It has a patented built-in sliding door that holds the wire allowing it to move more freely to straighten your teeth. We can use very gentle pressure, working with the natural forces of your body. This allows your dental arches to develop the way they were always meant to. In most cases, this is accomplished in far less time with fewer appointments and with far greater comfort!
