If you want the benefits of orthodontic treatment without the aesthetic concerns of wearing metal braces, then Damon braces in NYC might be the solution for you. Damon Braces are less noticeable, so they won’t change your appearance while you’re getting orthodontic care. They’re suitable for all ages and provide fast, reliable results. Here is a look at how these braces work.

Self-Ligating System
Metal braces rely on an arch wire and elastic ligatures to shift teeth. Damon Braces are self-ligating . This means that instead of having a rubber band ligature to hold the wire in place, the brackets have an internal component that closes around the wire. There is a slide mechanism that gently glides teeth into their ideal positions over the course of the treatment using light force. There is no palatal expander involved. As a result of this different design, Damon Braces are much less obtrusive than metal braces, and thanks to the option for clear brackets and wires, they can be nearly invisible.

Regular Treatment Check-Ups
When your orthodontist treats you with Damon Braces, you need regular appointments to ensure your teeth are moving as expected. However, you will need fewer appointments than you would with metal braces and will have less discomfort afterwards than you would with the tightening orthodontists must do with regular braces.

Oral Hygiene
Your orthodontist will show you techniques to brush and floss effectively while wearing Damon Braces. These braces are less susceptible to plaque build-up than metal braces, so maintaining good oral hygiene is easier. You should also maintain your regular dental check-ups while wearing Damon Braces.
