Orthodontic Braces. The Damon™ System of advanced passive self-ligating
brackets, high-tech light-force arch wires and minimally invasive
treatment protocols provides remarkable advantages for our patients. The
Damon™ System has been clinically proven to dramatically reduce
treatment times, provide exceptional results and significantly improve
patient comfort. We feel that the Damon™ System is the absolute best for
our patients.

Some
offices may offer braces that they claim are "similar" to the Damon™
System, but why settle for "similar" when you can have the real thing at
Bandeen Orthodontics. The Damon™ System and Bandeen Orthodontics,
accept no substitutes.

Our
smiles are a big part of our identity and how we are perceived by our
peers. Consider this. In a recent survey of more than 1,000 Americans
(age 18 and over), 72% of the respondents agreed that people of all ages
with healthy straight teeth are typically treated better in social
situations than those with noticeably crooked teeth. Conversely, nearly
half said that crooked teeth leave a negative first impression. With the
breakthrough technology of the Damon System, it’s easier than ever to
improve your smile and experience the difference.

Compared
to some of the other ‘extreme’ cosmetic procedures available today,
improving your smile is one of the most valuable investments you can
make to improve your overall appearance for a lifetime.
A straight smile is a healthy smile
A nice smile is not only beautiful, it also promotes good health.
Straight
and evenly spaced teeth are easier to keep clean, providing better oral
health. Properly aligned teeth chew more efficiently, which can aid in
digestion.
Ideally aligned teeth create a more perfect bite, which can reduce stress, headaches, and strain on your supporting bone and tissue.
According
to the American Association of Orthodontists, crooked and crowded teeth
are hard to clean and maintain. This may contribute to conditions that
cause not only tooth decay but also eventual gum disease and tooth loss.
When
left untreated, many orthodontic problems become worse, contributing to
abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing function,
excessive stress on gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth, or
misalignment of the jaw joints, which can result in chronic headaches or
pain in the face or neck. Treatment by a specialist to correct the
original problem is often less costly than the additional dental care
required to treat more serious problems that can develop in later years.
Uncompromising results with the Damon System
Some
advertised removable clear aligners may seem like a tempting
alternative to real braces. However, clear aligner trays require
continuous compliance and don’t move teeth as efficiently as real
braces, so even the simplest crowded cases can take far longer to
complete. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive
correction, the Damon System treats even the most challenging cases such
as overbites, underbites, and even crossbites with higher quality
results, in far less time and with greater comfort than aligner
treatment or even conventional braces.
The Damon System is not just a new product, it’s a whole new way of treating patients. Conventional
treatment often requires removal of healthy teeth and/or the use of
palatal expanders to make space. This approach is often uncomfortable,
takes longer, and can leave a narrower arch and a flat profile.
Damon smiles are full, natural 10-tooth smiles achieved with light
biologically-sensible forces, and are specifically designed to improve
the overall facial result of each patient.
Braces are the beginning,
but the system makes the smile.
Certified
Damon System doctors combine three key components, which when used
together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort,
and consistent high-quality results:
1. Damon
passive self-ligating braces that eliminate the need for elastic or
metal “ties”. With Damon tie-less braces you can experience treatment
without tightening.
2. Light high-technology shape-memory wires that move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
3.
A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and
enhances your facial aesthetics - usually without extractions or rapid
palatal expanders.
Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.
Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable,
and easy to keep clean. Without using the elastic ties,
which attract and collect plaque. Damon braces
make dental hygiene easy during treatment.
