Instead of using elastics to hold arch wires in place, the Damon System is self-ligating. Traditional elastics tend to cause friction in the mouth, which can lead to pain and even prolonged treatment. The Damon System bypasses this inconvenience, making treatment faster, more comfortable, and healthier.
We offer clear self-ligating braces (Damon Clear) as a treatment and it does not require elastics to hold arch wires in place. Elastics are like bungee cords, which cause friction and pressure, making treatment slower and less comfortable. Damon Clear System self-ligating braces (no elastic ties to hold the arch wire in place) are smaller, more comfortable to the lips and cheek, and use a slide mechanism that eliminates the friction. The passive self-ligating bracket whose beauty is more than skin deep. Damon Clear combines the look and comfort image-conscious patients demand with the strength and functionality discriminating clinicians need. Validated by multi-site in vivo studies and third-party university research, Damon Clear is more than meets the eye.
Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.
