Why Damon

Why Choose Damon Braces?

Designed for patients who want faster, more comfortable, and highly effective orthodontic treatment.

The Damon difference

Treatment that's faster, gentler, and easier to live with.

Damon Braces use self-ligating bracket technology to move teeth with lighter, more biologically-sensible forces. The result is a smoother experience from your first appointment to your final reveal — and a smile shaped to look fuller and more natural.

  • Often months shorter than traditional braces
  • Lighter forces, less soreness between visits
  • Fewer adjustment appointments needed
No elastic ties

Without rubber ligatures trapping plaque and food, brushing and flossing stay simple throughout treatment.

A broader, fuller smile

The Damon system encourages a more natural arch shape — often producing a wider, more aesthetic result.

A discreet option

Prefer something subtle? Damon Clear uses tooth-colored brackets for a low-profile look.
