Compared side-by-side with conventional metal braces,
the Damon difference is quite apparent. |
|
|
Damon brackets are also 'self ligating.' Conventional
braces hold the wire into the brackets with individual
elastics. This causes tension on the wire that moves your
teeth. One problem that arises is that the elastics eventually
get loose; therefore you must visit Dr. Molayem at least
once a month to change the elastics and create more force. |
This 'self ligating' system means that you will not
have to come to Dr. Molayem's office as often and that
a more even tension is placed on your teeth throughout
your treatment. Office visits are still necessary to change
the wire and to make sure that the brackets are clean.
Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable
and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties that
can collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easier
during treatment. |
