Braces Using The Damon SL System

You’ll have the smile you’ve always wanted in less time than with other braces. Plus, you’ll have a lot more to smile about.

What makes the Damon SL System so popular with patients? These new braces were designed with a unique slide that holds the arch wire in place instead of relying on rubber bands or steel ties. This helps us increase your satisfaction in several ways:

• Greater comfort during treatment, because we can use lighter forces to move your teeth into position.
• Less frequent appointments and a shorter treatment period, because we’re using the only fully programmed Straight-Wire Appliance.
• Your braces have smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces that feel comfortable against your lips and cheeks.

To get the best results from your Damon SL System, avoid sticky foods, and brush and floss teeth and braces frequently and be sure to see your dentist for regular cleanings. Let us know if there’s any way we can make your treatment easier and more comfortable.

Self-Ligating Braces

This new technology allows for faster treatment and fewer office visits. Called “Self Ligation”, this innovative clinical technology makes orthodontic treatment more efficient and comfortable than ever before.

What is “Self Ligation” Treatment?

Traditional orthodontic therapy has involved “tieing-in” archwires with elastic bands or tie-wires. Self Ligation appliances have a patented, built-in “sliding door” that holds the wire in yet allows it to slide freely back and forth. Consequently, fewer adjustments and appointments are necessary to achieve our treatment goals.

The Most Comfortable Orthodontic Treatment Ever

Because of the sliding door mechanism, the Self Ligation system allows us to use light force wires to achieve tooth movement. This not only results in less pressure on the tooth, but also means that your treatment will be more gum- and cheek-friendly.

Shorter Treatment Times

The really great thing about Self Ligation therapy is that, even though we use lighter forces to move teeth, we can dramatically reduce treatment times versus conventional appliances because of the greater efficiency of this force delivery system.

Fewer Office Visits

Since Self Ligation appliances work more efficiently and require fewer adjustments, your orthodontic treatment will probably require fewer office visits than in the past. For the patient, this means your braces will be both more comfortable and convenient.
