In an effort to provide our patients with the very latest in orthodontics, we are proud to offer new Damon Q braces: the all-new, all-metal self-ligating braces system that has gone above and beyond to increase patient comfort and reduce overall treatment time while straightening your teeth.
What are the Advantages of the Damon System of Braces?
The Damon brackets are a great way to achieve your most beautiful and esthetic smile in less time and with greater comfort than other treatments or even conventional braces. Damon brackets are more comfortable than conventional braces because the brackets are smaller and therefore more comfortable against your lips and cheeks. Because they are smaller, they are also less noticeable.
Damon brackets are also 'self ligating.'
Conventional braces hold the wire into the brackets with individual elastics. This causes tension on the wire that moves your teeth. One problem that arises is that the elastics eventually get loose; therefore you must visit the orthodontist more often to change the elastics and create more force. The Damon brackets do not need elastics to hold the wire in place; instead, Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.
This 'self ligating' system means that your braces will not need as many appointments for adjustments and that a more even tension is placed on your teeth throughout your treatment. Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties that can collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easier during treatment.
With the Damon System of braces, treatment time is typically 6 months shorter than with conventional braces. And shorter treatment time means fewer appointments and a beautiful smile...faster. You may be surprised at how fast.
“...Radiance is confidence...
Every Radiance bracket is a polished jewel, made from a single crystal of pure grown sapphire, the second hardest mineral known to man. Each crystal is honed and then heat polished into a superbly smooth, incredibly clear, and astoundingly strong bracket. Once bonded, Radiance is nearly invisible on the tooth."
Smooth comfort
The brackets give full comfort and you will love wearing them. Radiance is smooth to the touch making them safe and comfortable.
Invisible
The brackets are nearly invisible and will give you the extra confidence in work and social situations.
No staining
Not only will your brackets look great, the good thing is that they will stay that way. Radiance's monocrystalline structure and highly polished surface serve as barriers to undesirable staining elements.
