Understanding Damon Braces

The Damon System employs a patented slide mechanism to attach archwires to brackets, allowing the wires to move with minimal resistance.
This innovative design reduces friction significantly and enhances oral hygiene by eliminating the need for elastic ties, which can accumulate food particles and plaque.
Traditional braces rely on elastic ties to secure the archwires, but these ties can create friction that potentially slows down the treatment process.
Additionally, elastic ties are known to attract and harbor harmful bacteria, which can pose a risk to oral health.

At Bandeen Orthodontics in Michigan, Drs. Bandeen utilize Damon braces as the standard of care to provide brighter, broader smiles.
The Damon Smile at Bandeen Orthodontics
Smiles featuring a wide arch reveal more teeth and fill the mouth corners more completely, resulting in a more natural and attractive appearance. Additionally, a broad arch offers facial support, contributing to a more youthful look.
Teeth can seem fairly straight but might be tilted inward or outward. Ensuring teeth are upright and properly aligned aids jaw function and prevents wear from a misaligned bite. Additionally, upright teeth can enhance the overall attractiveness of a smile.
A key feature of an attractive smile is the smile arc. This occurs when the contour of the teeth aligns with the curve of the lower lip, resulting in a naturally appealing and harmonious smile.
A smile with excess gum tissue, commonly called “gummy” smile, can detract from the natural aesthetics of your teeth and face. Many Damon system doctors now offer effective treatments for gummy smiles with remarkable outcomes. Consult your Damon system doctor about their experience in treating this condition.
