Damon braces utilize some of the newest technologies in braces. Many people are shifting towards using the Damon system for teen braces because of their many benefits. It is generally faster, more comfortable and can straighten your teeth with fewer extractions and fewer complicated pre-treatment procedures.

Conventional teen braces usually have rubber o-shaped rings for attaching the wire to the brace. Because of the material, they tend to put unnatural and rather uncomfortable pressure on the teeth to shift them into the right position. This tightening can be painful. Damon braces, on the other hand, have a gate that allows the wire to move freely and it creates less friction and is, therefore, less painful.

Another advantage of getting Damon teen braces is that it is more hygienic. The o-ring retains plaque because of its organic nature. Micro-organisms, bacteria and plaque increase the chances of tooth decay. Damon braces don’t use o-rings, and the wires are mostly mobile. The chances for decalcification and tooth decay is greatly reduced during the course of the treatment.
