The Damon Bracket System - The Latest Technology In Orthodontics Today

The Damon bracket system has changed the way we can treat orthodontic patients. This revolutionary system utilizes a unique passive self-ligating bracket, and very light forces to achieve results beyond previously conceived expectations. Orthodontic treatment is now less time consuming and more comfortable than ever before. We are proud to be in the forefront of practices in the Upstate area offering this great new technology. You will see the beginnings of your new smile in the first few weeks of treatment and, in the end, have a beautiful smile that will last a lifetime.

There is a general misconception that all braces and orthodontic treatments are the same. With all the options available today, it is more important than ever to carefully select what type of braces and technology are used. The Damon System not only produces beautiful smiles and straight teeth, but allows us to enhance facial changes as well. We have never before had such an influence on the bone and soft tissues that support and surround the teeth.

How is “Self-Ligating” Treatment Different?
Traditional orthodontic therapy involves “tying in” archwires with colored elastics. This can bind up the archwire and cause the teeth to move at a slower rate. Heavy forces must be applied to overcome inherent friction in the traditional bracket system. These heavy forces can overpower or crush the very delicate underlying blood vessels – cutting off oxygen and nutrients to the teeth and bone. This can be more painful, actually slow down tooth movement, and lengthen the time of treatment. The Damon System takes a completely different approach. It has a patented built-in “sliding door” that holds the wire allowing the brace to move more freely to straighten your teeth. We can use very gentle pressure, working with the natural forces of the intraoral musculature.This allows the dental arches to develop within the boundaries of your individual genetic potential.

Advantages of the Damon Bracket System:

• Shorter Treatment Time – Because of the lack of friction between the brackets and the wire, the Damon System allows for more efficient movement of the teeth.
• More Comfortable Treatment – Very light natural forces are applied to move teeth at a rate never seen before in orthodontics which means less pressure and more comfortable treatment.
• Fewer Office Visits – Since the Damon Braces have a unique sliding door, they require fewer adjustments and the light force “high-technology” wires continue to work for a longer period of time.
• Eliminates the Need For Extractions (in most cases)

People all around the world are experiencing startling transformations of the face and the smile that have never been seen before. Patients are experiencing treatment far different than they would have with traditional braces. We at Get-It-Straight Orthodontics are proud to treat patients at the highest level of care… in a shorter period of time and with far greater comfort.
