Damon Braces , Damon Clear Braces …a new type of dental brace
Damon Braces
The Damon system is a relatively new fixed appliance treatment that reduces the friction between the wire and bracket. This allows teeth to move more quickly, predictably and with lighter forces than conventional braces.
The Damon System is not just another brace, it’s a whole new way of treating patients. Conventional orthodontic treatment often requires removal (extraction) of healthy teeth to make space, but the Damon System makes space naturally for the crowded teeth to be aligned by gently expanding the dental arches thus avoiding extraction in most cases.At Tracey Bell we provide full dental consultation and discussion of all types of braces available to you
Damon Dental Braces and smiles are full, natural smiles achieved with light, biologically sensible forces which work with the body’s natural adaptive processes. Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.

And After
Self-Ligating Brackets (Damon, In-Ovation C)
Unlike conventional fixed appliances, self-ligating appliances utilise an integral clip mechanism within the bracket in order to secure the archwire. Manufacturers have claimed many advantages to using these mechanisms, however, few of these have been scientifically proven to this day. In our opinion the principal advantages of self-ligation include more secure attachment between the archwire and bracket, less discolouration of appliances in-between visits and greater efficiency in appliance adjustments.
Many types of self-ligating appliances are available but two that have dominated the market include the Damon appliance and the In-Ovation appliance. These differ in having a different clip mechanism to secure the archwire.
