Yes. Damon® braces are suitable for all ages and are a popular choice among adult patients who want precise results from a discreet brace.
It typically doesn’t require tooth extraction for crowded teeth. The system is gentle, comfortable, and unobtrusive, giving your orthodontist maximum control over the movement of your teeth, making this option ideal for complex cases.
Damon® braces are fitted in the same way as traditional metal braces. The difference is that Damon® braces use a memory wire connected to a slide mechanism to move teeth into position instead of brackets.
Whereas brackets need to be adjusted regularly, these slide mechanisms move with the teeth as they realign. The braces continuously adapt to your straightening smile, so you’ll need fewer appointments throughout the alignment process. These braces are designed to straighten teeth faster than traditional braces, but the treatment duration will depend on the complexity of your diagnosis.
The Damon® slide system exerts less pressure on the teeth, which means less discomfort. Damon® braces also have fewer places for bacteria and plaque to accumulate, avoiding additional dental problems.
Yes. Damon® braces are suitable for all ages and are a popular choice among adult patients who want precise results from a discreet brace.
Unfortunately, we can’t provide a definitive answer to this question without seeing you for a free consultation*. In most cases, treatment is completed in around 12 months. Damon® braces have been designed to straighten teeth faster than traditional fixed braces, and treatment can take just six months for some patients.
It might take you a few days to get used to your fixed brace, and your teeth may feel a little tender just after your brace is fitted and after adjustments. Damon® braces, however, use very light titanium wires to gently move teeth, so any discomfort is minimal.
Yes, although you will need to spend a little extra time brushing to make sure you clean around your brace carefully. When we fit your brace, we’ll give you advice on how to clean your teeth as well as the best tools for the job.
To avoid breaking your brace and slowing down your treatment, it’s important to be careful about what you eat, but how you eat it is more important. In most cases, it’s just a case of cutting things up, but avoid anything hard or chewy that could damage your brace.
You should also avoid foods and drinks that could stain your teeth. Otherwise, when your brace comes off, you could be left with lighter patches where your brackets were.
Treatment starts from £1,750 (metallic) or £2,000 (clear).
