Damon braces are one of the best braces in the UK. They are one of the clear braces but liked by so many people. This set of braces stands out mostly because of its ease of usage and its ability to produce perfect results. Its self-ligating system has made it one of the best brands to choose from.
We have gathered a lot of information about Damon braces, why you should choose them, cost of getting them and all other information needed. In this article, we will guide you in making a choice on the most suitable braces to use.
Damon braces is a set of appliance that is used to straighten the teeth in modern orthodontics. They are made up of high technology brackets which are either made from ceramics or metals, and an archwire. In appearance, they look just like the conventional braces only that they are lighter. These braces use a high-class technology with low friction to allow the teeth move in a quick but gentle manner to the desired position thereby allowing you achieve the smile you have been longing for without pains.
The following are reasons why Damon braces may be the best choice for you.
Before your braces are produced, your orthodontist will have to send the impressions of your mouth to the laboratory for the production of the braces. Damon braces are precisely manufactured to fit with your teeth. This makes the treatment more effective. These braces after being produced are carefully bonded to the teeth with special glue; this is the fitting process. After this process, you may be asked to visit your dentist regularly (maybe once in every few weeks) so that the braces can be checked and adjusted if necessary.
Damon braces do not need a tooth extraction to create space. This is all because of the way biologically sensible forces are used by the system to function with the body’s natural ability to adapt. This makes the treatment a more natural process. However, there are cases where a tooth may need to be extracted to create enough space. This is always done with special consideration of the facial profile and balance.
The cost of Damon braces is largely dependent on the length and complexity of the treatment, but on a normal case, it will cost about £3600.

Braces, aligners and other oral devices need some times for you to get used to. They may feel uncomfortable at first, and a small lisp can be present for a few days with hypo- or hypersalivation.
The risk associated with orthodontic treatment is tooth decay and gum disease. This is because it is difficult to clean the teeth and gums appropriately. To prevent this from happening, it is advised that you keep a regular hygiene appointment with your dentist and use fluoride mouth wash regularly. You can use dental floss for better oral hygiene and for cleaning in between the braces and the teeth.
Retention: after the use of Damon braces, retainers should be used to hold the teeth in its place. These retainers (almost like clear aligners but they are not pressurised) may be removable or fixed. The fixed ones have a thin wire behind the teeth to hold them in their new position. These retainers tend to de-bond as time goes on and may need to be replaced. Replacing the retainers usually attract an extra fee.
