Damon Braces

What are Damon braces?

The Damon brace system is an innovative orthodontic treatment, which uses state of the art technology to achieve straight teeth. The Damon braces are made of fine wires, which use friction-free technology to encourage the teeth to move into the correct position.

How do Damon braces work?

Damon braces in Glasgow work by using friction-free technology to straighten the teeth. The technology causes the teeth to move quickly and without any pain or discomfort. The brace also uses self-ligating wires, which eradicate the need for elastic bands or metal ties. this makes the brace much more comfortable and means that patients are not required to have their bands tightened, which can be very painful.

Damon braces have been developed using the latest technology and produce incredible results in a short space of time without pain or discomfort. Typically, the treatment will be complete around four to six months earlier than other types of treatment

Stages of treatment

Damon braces in Scotland involves the following stages:

Stage one

During the initial consultation here at Devonshire Dental Care, the dentist will discuss the treatment with the patient and answer any questions they may have.

Stage two

The dentist will then examine the patient’s mouth to see if they are a suitable candidate for the treatment. If approved for treatment, photographs and an impression of the patient’s teeth will then be passed onto to the dental laboratory so that the braces can be made up to fit the proportions of the patient’s mouth.

Stage three

The brace will then be sent back to the dentist, so they can fit the brace to the teeth. The patient will be asked to return to the dentist every ten weeks to adjust the brace.
