People often ask me why I don't use colored o rings on our brackets. I could
choose to use these on our brackets, as some other Damon orthodontists do,
but that would defeat the whole purpose of "The Damon System".
TRADITIONAL BRACES WITH COLORED LIGATURES
Elastic ligatures create friction and require more force and more frequent
adjustments. DAMON SELF-LIGATING BRACES
Damon braces allow freedom of movement, resulting in faster treatment with
gentler forces.
How is Self-Ligating Treatment Different?
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. The Damon System,
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!
