I could <br />choose to use these on our brackets, as some other Damon orthodontists do, <br />but that would defeat the whole purpose of "The Damon System". <br />TRADITIONAL BRACES WITH COLORED LIGATURES <br /> Elastic ligatures create friction and require more force and more frequent <br />adjustments. <p /> DAMON SELF-LIGATING BRACES <br /> Damon braces allow freedom of movement, resulting in faster treatment with <br />gentler forces. <br />How is Self-Ligating Treatment Different? <br />Traditional orthodontic therapy involves tying in archwires with colored <br />elastics or small stainless steel wires. This can bind up the archwire and <br />cause the teeth to move at a slower rate. Heavy forces must be applied to <br />overcome inherent friction in the traditional bracket system. These heavy <br />forces can overpower or crush the very delicate underlying blood vessels <br />cutting off oxygen and nutrients. This can be more painful, actually slow <br />down tooth movement, and lengthen the time of treatment. The Damon System, <br />however, takes a completely different approach. It has a patented built-in <br />sliding door that holds the wire allowing it to move more freely to <br />straighten your teeth. We can use very gentle pressure, working with the <br />natural forces of your body. This allows your dental arches to develop the <br />way they were always meant to. In most cases, this is accomplished in far <br />less time with fewer appointments and with far greater comfort! <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://www.borkowskiortho.com/colored-o-rings-vs-damon-braces">Borkowski Orthodontics</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8056763646489230873-1696638710855103352?l=borkowskiortho.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Borkowski Orthodonticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06236637773127265069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056763646489230873.post-35669214994243068622010-12-06T16:42:00.001-08:002010-12-06T16:42:20.981-08:00<div class='posterous_autopost'>People often ask me why I don't use colored o rings on our brackets.
