Our office is pleased to offer our patients passive self-ligating Damon Smile braces. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. Thanks to these innovative new braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible! Tie-less braces help reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.

The Damon system of braces use these self-ligating brackets which have a unique slide mechanism. This means there is no need for the ligatures elastic bands that are used in traditional braces to hold the archwires in place and allows Dr Kataria to use much lighter, continuous forces to move your teeth to their correct positions. Because there is less friction with this system than with conventional braces, the forces exerted on the teeth are lighter and, therefore, more comfortable.
Studies have also shown that treatment time with the Damon System is shorter than with traditional braces. Insignia Advanced Smile Design is 3D software which enables us to accurately plan for the movement of your teeth. The Insignia software gives us such detailed information on the position of your teeth and the shape of your jaw, that we can accurately plan your treatment, right down to the most minute of movements.
This precision software is what we use to have the brackets of your Damon braces customised to fit your teeth. Damon braces give excellent results. Studies show the Damon system produces straight teeth and, at the same time, widens the patient's arch to allow more room for crowded teeth, sometimes without the use of a palate expander or surgery.
The Damon system relies on a patented slide mechanism. The wires move freely and there is less friction. Traditional braces, on the other hand, use elastic ties or metal wires, known as ligatures, to hold the archwires in place, which causes more friction.
Damon system braces also use lightweight, shape-memory archwires in conjunction with the self-ligating brackets. The high-tech wires exert light force to shift the teeth into place efficiently. All types of braces, whether conventional or self-ligating, work by exerting force, which stimulates the process of bone remodeling. In response to the force, the bone and tissues that support the teeth break down, allowing the teeth to move.
Eventually, new bone forms around the teeth, locking them in position.
