In the field of orthodontics, there is more than one way to move complex cases of misalignment.

Need a bit more convincing? This article delves into the world of Damon Braces, exploring the features of these invisible braces Clapham, to help you decide if they are right for you or not.

Understanding Damon Braces

Damon braces are a modern alternative to conventional braces. They are a self-ligating system; this means that they remove the need for traditional elastic or metal ties to hold the archwire in place. Instead, these invisible braces Clapham utilises a specialised slide mechanism consisting of brackets with built-in doors that secure the wire. This innovative approach minimises friction, allows teeth to move more freely, and reduces the overall treatment time. Great stuff!

What they treat

As stated before, these braces are an alternative to traditional orthodontics. This means that they can treat more complex cases of dental misalignment than aligners can.

If you have teeth that need to be rotated, pulled down, or up (in cases of deep bites or shallow bites), then these braces are likely to be helpful for you. So, come and talk to our team!

Treatment time

These braces are designed to treat more complex cases. Therefore, sadly, the treatment time will probably be a bit longer than it would be for someone who is undertaking realignment with aligners.

On average, these braces take between 12-18 months to straighten teeth, but our team will be more than happy to provide you with a more personalised breakdown of how long this process will be in your unique case.

Caring for the braces

As is the way with fitted braces, you will need to brush them after you eat food, and be sure to floss as often as you can. This will ensure that the braces are clean and are therefore able to move correctly and will also prevent decay and gum disease.

Of course, there have been some changes in recent years to the way people floss, so for fitted braces, it is best to use a water flosser with a brush head attachment when cleaning your Damon braces. You should also be brushing your teeth twice a day with an electric toothbrush too, and high-fluoride toothpaste. Our team can prescribe this for you if you wish.

Avoid eating any foods that are chewy or hard while wearing this brace, as this can cause issues with the archwires or, in some cases, may cause the brackets to come off altogether!
