What makes Damon different
Traditional braces tie the wire to each bracket with elastic rings, which creates friction and needs frequent tightening. Damon brackets hold the wire in a sliding gate instead, the wire moves freely, applying lighter, more continuous force. In practice that means comfortable progress and fewer, shorter appointments.
Why we use it
- Comfortable: light continuous forces rather than periodic tightening
- Efficient visits: adjustments are quicker and typically less frequent
- Discreet option: Damon Clear brackets are far less noticeable than metal
- Hygienic: no elastic rings that trap plaque and stain
Braces vs aligners, the fair comparison
Fixed braces remain the workhorse of orthodontics: they handle complex rotations, vertical movements and bite corrections that can challenge aligners, and they never rely on remembering to wear them. For many children and teens, and plenty of adults, they're simply the most reliable tool. Dr Anand will compare both honestly against your case.
