Damon Braces vs. Traditional Metal Braces

Many patients have asked me what treatment plan I think would be best for them when it comes to straightening their teeth. I'll be completely honest, each smile is unique and each patient's orthodontic experience isn't necessarily the same as the last. Because of this, I am constantly continuing my education to ensure that I bring patients state-of-the-art orthodontic options to help customize their treatment plan. These options range from traditional metal braces to Invisalign, to Damon System braces. Today, I would like to discuss the benefits of Damon braces and how they compare to standard appliances.

The Damon web site says: Learn about a truly amazing new way to straighten teeth that's faster, more comfortable and can improve your smile at any age, most often without tooth extractions. Damon System Braces deliver more than straight teeth – they are a gateway to greater confidence, a better self-image, personal and professional advancement – a new and better you!

That kind of says it all. But to truly express the difference, let me put it this way... With Damon braces you'll get:

• Faster Treatment Time
• Fewer Office Visits
• Greater Comfort
