What are Damon braces?

Damon braces otherwise known as the Damon System is one of a number of brands of self-ligating brackets (braces). Other brands of self-ligating brackets include In-Ovation, Smart Clip, Time2, and Speed. Unlike traditional braces, these brackets have a built-in mechanism to hold the wire in place. Since elastic ties are not used, you cannot choose different colors with these brackets. In an attempt to promote their product, the company that produces the Damon bracket has made a number of extraordinary claims regarding their product, most of which remain unproven. There is some conflicting evidence on whether these brackets may slightly decrease treatment time.

If you are interested in self-ligating brackets and feel they are right for you, we do have them available. Click here if you would like to read about a clinical trial comparing self-ligating brackets with traditional brackets.
