Easy orthodontic straightening with Damon braces from London SE1 dentist

As dental and orthodontic technologies improve, teeth straightening becomes more efficient, discreet and comfortable. Nowhere is this truer than with Damon braces, a perfect example of the strides taken in brace technology over the last twenty years.

Damon braces utilise a friction-free system to achieve more comfortable and speedy straightening than conventional metal-brace orthodontics, which often requires extractions and palatal expanders. The obvious major advantages of Damon braces include faster treatment times, which are typically six months faster; a greater degree of comfort, as there is no need for regular tightening thanks to the revolutionary self-ligating wire and bracket system; and better oral hygiene because of the lack of rubber bands which attracted bacteria and smaller brackets to allow easier cleaning.

The Damon brace also uses brackets that are made from ceramic and clear plastic to look more discreet in the mouth and a more pleasing aesthetic appearance. Damon braces are more powerful than most other fast acting braces such as Invisalign and the Inman aligner meaning they can tackle more complex orthodontic issues such as overcrowding and rotated teeth.

Damon braces from a London SE1 dentist may cost slightly more than conventional orthodontic treatment but the faster treatment times, greater comfort during treatment and more discreet appearance justify paying slightly more in the eyes of many patients. Having to wear a brace is never easy at the best of times but can be especially difficult for teenagers and young adults who don’t want to stand out from their peers or experience painful and unnecessary appointments at the dentist. So choose the Damon system and give them the easiest orthodontic treatment invented so far.
