Damon Self-Ligating Braces

At JH Family Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer the Damon® System, an advanced type of self-ligating braces that uses a specialized slide mechanism instead of elastic ties. This innovative design reduces pressure on the teeth, allowing them to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably.

With Damon braces, your path to a confident smile can be faster and easier than you ever imagined.

Why Choose Damon Braces?

• Faster treatment time: In many cases, results can be achieved months sooner compared to traditional braces

• Gentle tooth movement: The system uses light, continuous forces for a more comfortable experience

• Fewer appointments: Self-ligating technology means less time in the chair and fewer visits overall

• Smaller, more discreet design: Damon brackets are low-profile and easy to clean

• Better oral hygiene: No elastic ties means less plaque build-up and easier brushing

How Damon Braces Work

Instead of traditional elastic or metal ties, Damon braces feature a built-in sliding door mechanism that holds the archwire in place. This allows the wire to move freely while guiding your teeth into their ideal positions.

Because there’s less friction and binding, the system can often eliminate the need for extractions or other time-consuming procedures.

Comfort and Convenience

• Low-friction technology: Titanium “shape memory” wires gently move teeth with minimal discomfort

• Easy cleaning: No elastic ties means fewer spots for food and plaque to hide

• Discreet option available: Damon braces are also offered with clear brackets for a more subtle look
