Damon Braces and How They Work

Some orthodontic cases are best addressed with traditional style braces. Many patients are disappointed that they cannot undergo their orthodontic experience with a less noticeable option, such as Invisalign. Fortunately, our orthodontist in Los Angeles offers a type of braces that are just as effective as traditional ones, while being much less noticeable.

Damon braces are self-ligating. This means that the wires are able to adjust themselves according to the needs of the teeth. Self-ligating wires mean that patients get to spend less time in the dentist’s chair so they can be tightened. This also eliminates uncomfortable pressure and pain that often come from these tightening appointments.

Patients are also happy to learn that this type of wires allow for smaller brackets, making for a less noticeable appliance. Our orthodontist may even be able to apply ceramic brackets, which blend in with the teeth. While appointments with our dentist are still necessary, they will be less frequent.

Your orthodontic treatment with braces does not have to be uncomfortable and annoying. If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for Damon braces, schedule an appointment with our orthodontist today.
