We are pleased to offer our patients new Damon System braces and treatment techniques.
The Damon philosophy recognizes that to limit diagnosis exclusively to hard-tissue cephalometric criteria ignores soft-tissue symmetry. Of course, achieving the best facial balance possible must be done in conjunction with conventional treatment goals. The Damon System offers a unique mechanical system a passive conduit that permits low forces to work in conjunction with the muscles of the face, tongue, bone and tissue. Low forces minimize discomfort and greatly increase the types of cases that can be treated to a symmetrical facial result without high-force expansion or extractions.
What is this Damon System all about?
Actually it is a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment due to a unique orthodontic bracket which is attached to the teeth. Traditional braces used wires or elastics to hold the wire in the bracket.
The Damon bracket utilizes a sliding mechanism ( not unlike a trap door) over the bracket which allows the wire to be secured to the bracket without the need for ties and the added friction and forces they require.
Dr. Crout's treatments now require far less extraction of teeth to achieve beautiful results because the Damon brackets allow him to work within the normal biological range of forces rather than overpowering the body's biology. Damon brackets are beneficial for patients of all ages. Adult patients benefit from them because of the low forces and can now enjoy faster treatment than ever before. Damon brackets are also indicated for patients with periodontal (gum) problems due to the light forces they deliver. As a result all of our patients' treatments can now be finished in less time, with fewer visits and far less discomfort than ever before.
Cosmetic
With a commitment to patient satisfaction and state of the art treatment we also offer a cosmetic (clear) bracket for the front teeth. Many adults enjoy the added benefits of clear braces and feel good about their treatment as it is less obvious than metal brackets.
The Idea
Treatment forces should be just high enough to stimulate healthy tooth movemnet without occluding the blood vessels of the PDL. By applying light continuous forces throughout every phase of treatment, we're able to achieve healthy, comfortable and efficient tooth movement.
The Clinical Experience
“The dynamic difference in the Damon system is the ability to level and align the teeth at a rate much quicker than conventional braces. I am amazed at the amount of movement that can be completed with such light and biologically friendly forces. Our patients are thrilled with our decreased reliance on palatal expanders and extractions. The Damon System works with the muscles of the face to provide a beautiful broad smile with less dumping of the incisors.”
