Damon orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is performed to correct problems with tooth alignment or occlusion (the way teeth meet when the mouth is closed). Traditionally, braces and ligatures (or elastics) are used. These are known as braces. At Passion Sourire, your dental clinic in Vaudreuil-Dorion, we offer a modern, efficient and more comfortable orthodontic approach: Damon orthodontics.
Where does the Damon orthodontic approach come from?
Damon orthodontics takes its name from Dr. Dwight Damon, an American orthodontist who developed this approach in the 1990s. Dr. Damon sought to improve the effectiveness and comfort of orthodontic treatment by rethinking the concept of traditional braces. He designed Damon brackets and the accompanying system to meet these objectives.
The development of Damon orthodontics involved the introduction of several key innovations, including the use of self-ligating brackets. These special brackets eliminate the need for rubber elastics, reducing friction and allowing teeth to move more freely. As a result, changes are smoother and less painful. In addition, Dr. Damon's approach emphasizes the importance of non-extraction orthodontics, where possible, to preserve the natural structure of the mouth.
A system designed for more effective and comfortable treatment
Damon Orthodontics is a modern approach to orthodontics that uses special appliances called Damon Braces or Damon Systems. Designed to provide more comfortable and effective orthodontic treatment, Damon braces differ from traditional appliances in several ways.
No rubber elastics
Damon braces use special slide technology to hold teeth in place, eliminating the need for rubber elastics.
Less friction
By reducing friction, Damon braces allow teeth to move more freely, which can speed up the treatment process.
Less frequent adjustments
Compared to traditional orthodontics, which require monthly adjustment appointments, Damon braces require less frequent adjustments, limiting visits to the dentist while making treatment more convenient.
Improved comfort
By minimizing pressure and friction, Damon braces reduce the pain and irritation associated with traditional orthodontics.
Aesthetic results
Damon brackets are designed to be discreet and less visible than traditional metal brackets. This minimizes the aesthetic inconvenience associated with orthodontic treatment.
