About
WHY DAMON® BRACES?
SELF-LIGATING BRACKETS
The Damon® bracket design is exceptional—low-profile and self-ligating with a sliding mechanism that secures the arch wire. This makes cleaning and wire changes easier compared to traditional brackets, which rely on metal ties and elastic bands.
LESS CHAIR TIME
While overall treatment time may be similar to traditional braces, Damon® braces require fewer and shorter visits, making them ideal for busy schedules and travelling patients. We've successfully treated patients from Botswana and Mozambique.
SUPPORT
The Damon® system is globally available, ensuring a reliable supply chain. We chose Damon® braces for their consistent product updates and regular enhancements, offering the latest in orthodontic care.
Information
What to Expect
We start by scanning your teeth and taking the necessary CBCT radiographs and photographs. We then start the digital planning process. With modern software we are able to predictably plan your new smile. We produce a full treatment plan prior to the active treatment phase.
We place the brackets onto your teeth in exactly the positions specified during the planning step. This is known as the banding appointment and marks the beginning of your active orthodontic treatment. Adjustments are made during the course of this phase which could take 6 – 36 months depending on the complexity of the case.
Once we have achieved our desired results the braces are removed. To keep your teeth in these positions it is absolutely necessary to place permanent retainers onto the back of your teeth. In addition to the fixed retainers we also provide two sets of clear retainers to be worn at night.
