Fixed Braces: The Damon System
Faster, more comfortable orthodontic treatment with fewer visits. Damon braces use a sliding mechanism instead of elastic bands, allowing for smoother tooth movement with less force. This advanced system reduces the need for extractions or surgery, enhances facial support, and helps achieve quick, effective results.
What Are Clear & Metal Self-Litigating Fixed Braces?
Self-ligating fixed braces align teeth without elastic bands, using a unique mechanism. Clear braces have ceramic brackets, while metal braces use durable stainless steel. They allow gentle tooth movement without frequent tightening, reducing discomfort and offering shorter treatment times than traditional braces.

The amount of pressure applied to the brackets and bands is adjusted over time, meaning that your teeth can move into position in a shorter amount of time than with other orthodontic treatments.
However, the rate at which your teeth move depends on the complexity of your case, so times can vary.
What Can You Expect When You Get Fixed Braces?
When you get fixed braces, you can expect a gradual process of aligning your teeth for the desired result.
It is important to note that fixed braces cannot be removed during your treatment period, so it’s beneficial to take extra care when eating and brushing.
Regular visits with your orthodontist will help ensure that your teeth are being aligned correctly and to check for any potential issues.
With proper care and regular scheduling with your orthodontist, you can expect beautiful straight teeth in no time!
How Long Will Fixed Braces Need To Stay On For?
The duration of treatment with fixed braces will depend on the complexity of the case and your individual circumstances.
Generally, treatment times range from 6-24 months, however in more complex cases, this could take a little longer.
Regular reviews with your orthodontist will help to ensure that you stay on track.
Do The Top Or Bottom Teeth Move Faster?
Depending on the type of braces, both top and bottom teeth can move quickly and evenly.
Generally, depending on your bite and the severity of your misalignment, all teeth can be moved at a similar rate.
With modern treatments such as fixed braces, you can expect to get results in a shorter amount of time than ever before, with the top and bottom teeth potentially moving at similar rates.
What Are The 5 Stages Of Braces?
The 5 stages of fixed braces are:
(1) Placement, where the orthodontist first attaches the metal or ceramic brackets to your teeth.
(2) Straightening, which is when the thicker wires are adjusted to create gentle pressure and gradually align your teeth.
(3) Tightening, which is when the orthodontist adjusts and tightens the wires every 4-6 weeks.
(4) Removing, which is when the braces are removed after they have done their job.
(5) Retention, which is when you wear either a removable retainer or a fixed retainer to ensure that your teeth stay in their new position.
