you might be saddened at the prospect of having to don a pair of traditional braces with all their uncomfortable metal brackets and elastic bands. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. Before you settle for traditional braces, you might want to look into getting Damon Braces.

They’re also smaller than traditional braces. And since they also don’t use elastic bands, they’re easier to keep clean. Finally, Damon Braces require fewer adjustments, which means fewer appointments with an orthodontist and more time in your busy schedule for other things.

What are Damon Braces?

In short, Damon Braces are a more advanced, lower profile form of metal braces that correct your bite more easily, more efficiently, and more comfortably. Instead of having archwires bound to each bracket by an elastic band, they’re bound by a patented slide mechanism. The archwires can move more freely that way, reducing friction by eliminating the need for elastic bands to hold everything together.
