What Makes Up Damon Braces?
Damon Braces represent the pinnacle of orthodontic technology, combining several intricate components to pave your way to an impeccable smile. Delve deeper into the construction of Damon Braces:
Damon Brackets
At the core of Damon Braces are its specialized self-ligating brackets. Unlike traditional braces, these brackets are crafted primarily from high-quality stainless steel and contain a unique sliding mechanism that holds the archwire in place, eliminating the need for elastic ties.
Your devoted Smith & Heymann team ensures these brackets are precisely positioned for amazing results.
Colors & Personalization
Though Damon Braces don't require traditional elastic ties, personalization remains a possibility with Damon Clear or colored brackets. Express your style, spirit, or mood while embracing the advanced orthodontic solutions of Damon Braces.
Orthodontic Bands
Smith & Heymann Orthodontics might still use orthodontic bands, cemented to teeth with dental adhesive, especially when specific orthodontic appliances are integrated with the Damon system.
Adhesive
Dr. Smith, Dr. Heymann, or Dr. Skillestad meticulously and expertly bond the brackets of your Damon Braces to your teeth using a dedicated orthodontic adhesive.
Slide Mechanism
A hallmark of Damon Braces, the slide mechanism replaces traditional elastics. It allows the archwire to move freely, reducing friction and potentially shortening treatment time. At Smith & Heymann Orthodontics, the team will guide you through the benefits of this unique feature.
Damon Archwire
The Damon system employs a biologically-sensible, light-force archwire. This wire guides your teeth gently yet efficiently to their destined alignment.
Depending on individualized treatment plans, the archwire's length and connection to brackets may vary, so you get an advanced braces system that caters to the unique needs of your smile.
Spacers
Occasionally, Dr. Smith, Dr. Heymann, or Dr. Skillestad might deploy spacers or separators. These minute elastic rings create essential spaces between your teeth, usually before band placement.
Smith & Heymann Orthodontics prioritizes your comfort and optimal results in every step of the Damon Brace journey.
