This type of braces is also known as self-closing braces.

It is based on a different treatment philosophy than the traditional metal device treatment philosophy.
The unique design of these devices allows for reduced friction between the wire and the brackets, allowing the teeth to move smoothly and more comfortably for the patient.

The basic principle of treatment is based on the physiological expansion of the dental arches and reducing the need for extraction of dental units to ensure the necessary space for teeth alignment.

Your case must be carefully evaluated by an orthodontist to ensure that the Damon technique is the right option for you.

In this technique, rubber rings are not used to fix the wire within the brackets, but rather the wire is fixed within the bracket with a special lock designed for the bracket itself.

Therefore, this type may not be very popular with children who prefer to choose the colors of the rubber rings that will be placed on their teeth.
However, the final choice of treatment method depends on the requirements of the case.

Advantages of Damon Orthodontics:

1- Reducing the number of visits to the orthodontist because Damon braces use techniques that help move teeth effectively and the clinic review sessions are spaced out.
2- It is more comfortable for the patient because it depends on applying very light forces on the teeth, which reduces the feeling of pain or pressure.

3- It reduces the need for tooth extraction due to its adoption of the principle of physiological expansion of orthodontic arches.

4- Shortening the session time in the clinic, as there are no rubber rings to fix the orthodontic brackets within the brackets.
