Damon System

This means you will have a more comfortable experience, whilst having to take less time out of your life to achieve the smile you want!

What makes Damon System different?

Clinically proven advantages

  • Significantly better results
  • Significantly shorter treatment times
  • Far fewer adjustments required

It's more than just a bracket

  • Passive self-ligating braces that are much more gentle to the teeth.
  • High-technology wires that move teeth much faster and require far fewer adjustments.
  • A clinically proven treatment approach that aligns the teeth and enhances facial aesthetics - usually without extractions.

Other styles

Other styles of braces use elastics or active clips that "bind" arch wires in place.

Damon System braces use a passive slide mechanism that eliminates the friction and binding, so we can use lighter forces to move teeth.

Commonly asked questions

How will braces affect my daily life?

  • Speech: With regular fixed braces, our clients find that their speech is normally not affected at all. However, if your condition requires a palatal expander appliance to be fitted at the roof of your mouth, this may interfere with your speech.
  • Playing musical instruments: If you play a musical instrument with a mouthpiece, it will take you one to two weeks before you become as skilful as before.
  • Brushing with braces: With braces on, your teeth are more difficult to clean. However, effective regular brushing of your teeth properly after every snack and meal will reduce the risk of decay and gum disease. Please see "Caring for Braces" section for further information on how to brush effectively.
  • Eating and diet restrictions: Eating hard food or biting on large pieces of food may break the brackets or bands and damage the wires. We advise that you avoid eating nuts, hard sweets, mints, chewing gum, meat on the bone, biting on nails or pencils. Basically avoid anything that may potentially damage the brace. Do cut hard fruits into small and thin pieces before eating them. Avoid food and drinks with high sugar content such as sweets and soft drinks.
