If you’re ready for fast, comfortable, convenient way to you dream smile your orthodontic specialists in Marlow, Buckinghampshire, have the solution.
If you’re interested in learning more about what orthodontics can fix when it comes to your teeth and smile then look at our “what does orthodontics do” page. Damon braces are self-ligating braces; a revolutionary orthodontic system designed to be faster and more comfortable than traditional braces. Self-ligating brackets use a special slide mechanism to eliminate the need for metal or elastic ties. Traditional braces use rubber bands or ties to hold the wire onto the bracket. Thanks to our advanced technology, we can now use a unique clip or movable door to fasten the wire in place. So no more awkward elastics and ties. The result is reduced treatment times and a more subtle, discreet appearance due to the absence of ties.
Self-ligating braces also attract less build up of plaque than braces using elastic bands so your dental hygiene is easier to maintain during your orthodontic treatment. Another benefit of Damon braces is they don’t need to be tightened and so fewer visits to our Marlow Orthodontists are required. For patients who are concerned about the appearance of their smile during orthodontic treatment, clear brackets may be available; these brackets blend in with the natural appearance of your teeth for an even more discreet treatment option.
