Do you want a beautiful smile? According to a recent Kelton Research study, people with even smiles are considered both more attractive and successful. A large portion of the study’s respondents would go on to say a smile was one of the first things they noticed when meeting someone new. Unfortunately, many people feel self-conscious about their smiles due to dental imperfections, such as misalignment. While braces can correct dental misalignment, people often worry about the appearance and discomfort of traditional metal braces. At Aesthetic Orthodontics, we provide a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional braces. In today’s blog, your Larchmont orthodontist, Dr. David Alpan, answers your questions about the breakthrough Damon system.
Frequently Asked Questions About Damon Braces
Question: How do I know if I need braces?
Answer: People often seek orthodontic care to address crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, crowding, and underbites. If you experience any of these issues, schedule a consultation with your Larchmont orthodontist.
Question: What is the Damon system?
Answer: The Damon system employs self-ligating braces that don’t need elastics to hold the arch wire into place. The system also uses a slide mechanism to reduce friction and provide a more comfortable method of smile correction.
Question: How does Damon compare to traditional braces?
Answer: The Damon system uses smaller brackets and thinner wires, so they are less noticeable than traditional braces.
Question: Will the Damon system improve my facial appearance?
Answer: Yes. In many cases, patients receiving smile restoration with the Damon system undergo the Bracelift Facelift effect. The smile expands, expanding your profile and creating a more youthful look.
