Do Damon Braces Really Move Teeth Faster?

Posted on 07/10/2024

If you're looking for a faster alternative to conventional orthodontics, Damon braces Verrado from Olson Orthodontics could offer exactly what you need. In fact, they've been proven to move teeth more quickly than traditional braces. They can also help to create a very natural-looking smile. Here's what you need to know about this innovative orthodontic treatment that's available from Olson Orthodontics in Litchfield Park:

1. No ties means less friction

Damon braces use brackets and wires to move teeth, but unlike traditional braces, they do not require an elastic tie to hold the wire in place.  This allows the wire to move more freely within the bracket, applying consistent pressure through their self-ligating brackets, which means that they are often less painful than traditional braces The advanced design utilizes self-ligating brackets, which allow the Damon system to work faster and with less visits to the orthodontist. If you choose conventional orthodontics, you'll have to have more visits to the orthodontist to change the elastic ties.

2. They're Quite Easy to Clean

Another advantage of our Damon braces is that they're much easier to clean than conventional braces. This makes them a more convenient and healthier option for most patients.

3. There are Different Styles Available

The two main styles that we offer are self-ligating ceramic and metal braces. Metal Damon braces are similar in appearance to conventional orthodontics, but their design is often smaller with smoother edges.. Clear Damon braces are far less visible. In fact, the brackets themselves blend right in with your teeth, and the only thing that's noticeable is the wire.

4. You Won't Have to Go to the Orthodontist as Often

If you choose Damon braces, you won't need as many adjustments as you will with conventional treatment. That's partly because there are no elastic ties, which need to be replaced as the treatment progresses. In many cases, it's possible to only visit your orthodontist every six to eight weeks.

If your appointments are every eight weeks, you'll visit Dr. Olson in Verrado or Litchfield Park approximately 8-10 times during your treatment. That's because the treatment takes an average of 16-20 months to complete.  The exact interval in between appointments and the length of treatment can vary for each individual. So, get in touch with Olson Orthodontics for fast and convenient treatment with Damon Braces today.

5. They're More Comfortable Than Conventional Orthodontics

One advantage of Damon braces is the fact that they're quite comfortable. This is because they exert lighter, more natural forces on teeth. Also, they're smaller and have smoother edges than most conventional braces. This also helps to make them more comfortable to wear than conventional braces.
