Do Damon Braces Really Move Teeth Faster?
Last updated : December 4, 2016Posted by: Newton Dentistry
There are many choices in orthodontic work. Some people get traditional braces that simply align teeth. Others choose clear, wire-free braces because they are nearly invisible. However, these can take a long time to move teeth into a healthy position.
Damon Braces are similar to traditional braces. However, there are a few additional benefits. This technology takes one’s overall appearance into account. An orthodontist who uses Damon braces has been trained to predict how teeth will change as a person ages and create an alignment that is healthy and attractive for a lifetime. In addition, Damon braces move teeth faster, allowing people to quickly improve their smile and then move on with their lives.
How Do Damon Braces Move Teeth Faster?
Damon braces have a few benefits that make them both faster and superior to other types of braces. The brackets are self-ligating, which means they are designed to hold themselves in place without steel ties and other hardware. These brackets are smoother and less likely to cause damage to the teeth and mouth as they gently move teeth into a healthier and more attractive alignment.
This can lead to less inflammation and soreness, so orthodontic work often can be accomplished with fewer appointments. The smoother self-ligating brackets also make it easier for people to care for their teeth. Sometimes orthodontia must be slowed because a person’s teeth are not getting properly cleaned and thus they need special dental care. In addition, Damon braces create less friction. Teeth naturally slide into the desired position without the added stress of more hardware.
There is no magic to Damon braces, but their unique design makes them an easier and, yes, often faster form of braces. In fact, choosing Damon braces can take up to six months off of treatment and also lead to fewer orthodontic treatments. Luckily, people who are interested in this innovative treatment can get Damon braces.
Can Your Teeth Make You Look Younger?
One of the key benefits to Damon braces is that an orthodontist who is trained in this type of braces knows how to use braces to create a smile that will be beautiful over a lifetime. People who choose Damon braces, report the following benefits:
• A wider and fuller smile that you’ll be proud to show off
• More symmetry and balance in the face
• Fuller and smoother cheeks
• Healthier gums
• A profile free of underbite or overbite
These changes may sound small, but they make a person look healthier, more attractive, and younger. In fact, many people who get Damon braces report an increase in confidence and more satisfaction with their appearance.
Why Should You Love Damon Brackets?
Damon brackets are widely used for many reasons. One of the best advantages of having them is the fact that, unlike metal braces, they have a sleek, smooth look on them. They are also among the easiest braces to install. Also, the wire is much easier to change. This not only increases the patient’s comfort level, it also decreases the amount of time they have to spend in an orthodontic office, making them a happy client.
This system is also great because it requires less maintenance. It can eliminate a few appointments during your treatment because of the fact that the wires can continue to move your teeth in a couple of weeks in between visits. Plastic hooks can even be removed and replaced by an orthodontist at any time to make clients more comfortable with daily activities such as eating and brushing teeth. Finally, the Damon system is well thought out, and the slides are easy to open and close. So there you have it, the Damon system will not work miracles, but it’s still an excellent system to use.
