The Top 3 Features of Damon Braces

Thursday, September 10th, 2015

If ever there was an example of how far orthodontics has come it’s Damon Braces. This advanced orthodontic system offers an innovative alternative to traditional fixed braces for those with complex issues that require significant tooth movement. If you’re interested in Damon Braces, here are three key features to make your decision nice and easy:

Sliding brackets: Damon Braces feature unique sliding brackets, which are easier to clean and maintain than traditional square brackets. Often, wearing braces increases the risk of oral health diseases, as bacteria and food debris become trapped in the bands, brackets and wires. With this treatment, you can enjoy good oral health, as well as easy cleaning.

Self-ligating technology: Damon Braces work quickly and comfortably. They use friction-free self-ligating technology to accelerate the movement of the teeth and reduce treatment times, while also minimising discomfort. The forces, which are generated by the wires and brackets, are powerful yet gentle. These braces are also free from metal and elastic ties, reducing the chance of sore gums and irritation.

Subtle aesthetics: many people worry about having braces because of the aesthetic impact on their smile. However, with Damon Braces this is not a concern. Damon Braces are much finer and more delicate than traditional train-track braces and the brackets are made from ceramic, which is designed to match the natural tooth shade. Although the braces are not invisible like clear aligners, they are much more discreet than most other fixed braces and they are barely noticeable when you smile.

To find out if Damon Braces are the perfect choice for you, call now and book your consultation.

Fixed Braces vs. Removable Braces

Thursday, July 2nd, 2015

If you’re wondering about having orthodontic treatment, you may have come across fixed and removable braces during your research, but which option is better and what are the pros and cons of each? Here is a brief guide to fixed and removable braces:

Fixed braces

Fixed braces have been used to straighten the teeth and iron out orthodontic issues for many decades and they are proven to work extremely effectively. Today, there are lots of different types of fixed brace out there and advances in technology and design mean that you can now enjoy the reliability and efficacy of fixed braces with additional aesthetic benefits, speed and improved comfort. Fixed braces are often recommended for patients who have moderate or complex orthodontic needs, as they can generate a lot of movement and they provide more support than removable braces. Although fixed braces are less discreet than clear aligners and more difficult to clean, they are proven to work in every case and you will quickly become accustomed to eating, brushing your teeth and drinking with them in place.

Examples of our amazing fixed brace treatments include:

  • CFast
  • Six Month Smiles
  • Damon Braces
  • MTM No Trace Brace (these are lingual braces, which are secured onto the back of the teeth)

Removable braces

Removable braces have become very popular because they offer greater convenience and discreet aesthetics. Removable aligners allow you to continue with life as normal without having to worry about adapting the way you clean your teeth or eat and they are often very discreet, sometimes even virtually invisible. Removable braces also give you more freedom, but this can be a blessing in disguise, as the success of treatment depends on you ensuring that you wear the braces for the recommended time each day. Removable braces are generally recommended for patients who only require a limited amount of movement.

Examples of our revolutionary removable braces include:

  • Invisalign
  • Inman Aligner
  • Clearstep
  • Perfect Clear

Which treatment is best for me?

Often, your dental needs will dictate which treatment options are most suitable and once we have assessed your bite and had a good look at your teeth, we will be happy to make recommendations and help you choose the perfect treatment based on what you are looking for from your treatment, how much movement is required and the level of intensity and any additional factors you want to consider, such as treatment fees and time.

Do I Need a Fixed Brace or a Removable One?

Thursday, June 18th, 2015

There are lots of different treatment options available to orthodontic patients these days and while this is great news, it can present some difficulties when it comes to selecting which treatment is best. One of the main issues patients have to weigh up is whether they would prefer a fixed or a removable brace. Here is a brief guide to show you the major differences and pros and cons of both fixed and removable appliances:

Removable braces

Removable braces have become incredibly popular, mainly because they offer greater convenience and flexibility. Many of the removable treatments available now are also incredibly discreet, which is a major draw for many teenage and adult patients. Examples of removable braces include Invisalign, Clearstep and the Inman Aligner. Removable braces don’t just give you more freedom, they also enable you to eat normally and to enjoy better oral hygiene, as you simply remove the brace and brush as normal. There’s also no risk of food getting trapped in braces, which can be a major risk factor for decay and gum disease.

Removable braces tend to be geared towards patients who have minor to moderate needs and don’t require intensive correction. If you have more complex requirements and a lot of movement is required, fixed braces may be a better option. Another potential downside of removable braces is that they rely on the commitment of the patient to achieve success. If you don’t wear the braces, the results won’t be as good as anticipated. However if you wear the braces properly, your smile will be transformed!

Fixed braces

Fixed braces have been used to straighten teeth for many years, but today’s braces are very different to those around in previous decades. Today’s braces are sleeker, lighter and more discreet. They use advanced technology to reduce discomfort and accelerate tooth movement. Examples of modern fixed braces include Damon Braces, CFast and Six Month Smiles.

One advantage of fixed braces is the simplicity of the treatment process. Once the braces have been fitted, there’s no need to worry about swapping braces over, taking them in and out or remembering when to change them. Fixed braces are also guaranteed to succeed and they are suitable for patients with complex orthodontic prescriptions. Potential disadvantages of fixed brace include difficulty cleaning them, which may increase the risk of staining and decay and the aesthetic impact. Even the most discreet styles are more visible than clear aligners, but they’re still nowhere near as unsightly as the bulky metal braces of days gone by!

Wednesday, May 6th, 2015

If you’re looking for an advanced tooth straightening treatment that offers benefits galore, look no further than Damon Braces. Damon Braces are fixed braces that use the latest technology to create outstanding results for patients with moderate and complex dental needs.

About Damon Braces

The Damon system is one of the best orthodontic treatments on the market at the moment.

Damon Braces are often recommended for patients who need a lot of movement as an alternative to traditional fixed braces. They are comfortable and discreet and they also work around four to six months faster than conventional braces.

Are Damon Braces for me?

If you have orthodontic issues that affect your bite  or you suffer with severe crowding, other treatments such as aligners might not be suitable because they cannot achieve enough movement and don’t provide sufficient support for the teeth. Damon Braces are suitable for almost all orthodontic patients and they are reliable and effective, while also offering an array of benefits for the patient.

If you like the sound of Damon Braces, why not call and arrange a consultation? Following an examination and some basic tests, our dentists will be able to discuss whether or not this is a good treatment choice for you.

Everything You Need to Know About Damon Braces in Liverpool

Tuesday, November 18th, 2014

Damon Braces is one of the best orthodontic systems on the market, but what’s all the fuss about and could Damon Braces be the ideal choice for you?

The ins and outs

Damon Braces essentially are  fixed braces that use modern technology to minimise pain and reduce treatment time. Unlike conventional fixed braces, Damon Braces have self-ligating wires along with sliding brackets that reduce friction and increase the speed of tooth movement. They are considerably smaller and more discreet than ordinary fixed braces and they allow a huge amount of movement, which makes them a viable option for patients with complex orthodontic needs.

These braces are also able to create space, which means that most patients do not need to have teeth extracted before they start treatment.

What’s the treatment time?

Treatment time for Damon Braces varies according to the amount of movement required and what kind of issues the individual patient has. Typically, treatment with Damon Braces is around 4-6 months faster than ordinary fixed braces. When you have your consultation and your dentist has evaluated your needs, they will be happy to discuss treatment times with you.

Who is the ideal candidate for Damon Braces?

Appropriate for patients with a wide range of orthodontic problems, Damon Braces provide a really effective solution for problems with the bite, as well as the spacing and alignment of the teeth. They often provide an alternative to conventional fixed braces for patients who need a lot of movement and therefore cannot benefit from removable aligners.

Why Should I Choose Damon Braces In Liverpool?

Saturday, May 3rd, 2014

Damon Braces is an amazing, modern orthodontic system, which provides an alternative to traditional fixed braces for patients with moderate or complex orthodontic issues. These braces use state of the art technology and discreet materials to provide fast, painless treatment.

About Damon Braces

Damon Braces are very advanced fixed braces, which utilise the latest technology to reduce treatment time and enhance patient comfort. The braces are light and the brackets use a sliding mechanism to move the teeth rapidly. The wires are also self-ligating, which helps to reduce friction and accelerate the movement of the teeth. Damon Braces do not have any metal or elastic bands, which can irritate the gums, and they usually produce results around 4-6 months quicker than conventional fixed braces.

Damon Braces are suitable for most patients, including those who need intensive treatment and a lot of tooth movement. They are more discreet than normal fixed braces because they are made from ceramics and matched to the colour of the teeth.

These braces are also easy to clean and maintain and there is a lower risk of oral health problems because there are no bands and ties, which tend to become breeding grounds for bacteria.

Are Damon Braces better than invisible aligners?

Damon Braces are much more discreet than traditional fixed braces, but they are not invisible, like clear aligners. However, they do offer many benefits and are an excellent solution for patients who have more complex needs. Some issues, such as severe underbite or overbite, cannot be corrected with aligners. Fixed braces provide greater support for the teeth and they are also guaranteed to work without being dependent on the patient. With removable aligners, the patient has control over the success of treatment and results cannot be guaranteed if the patient fails to follow instructions.

Saturday, November 30th, 2013

If you are looking for proof that the world of Orthodontics has advanced at lightening speed, look no further than Damon Braces, one of the most technically advanced brace systems on the market.

About Damon Braces

Damon Braces are fixed braces, which use the latest technology to move the teeth quickly and painlessly. Damon braces have specially designed sliding brackets and self-ligating wires, which increase the movement of the teeth and prevent friction and pain.

Damon Braces are suitable for patients with the most complex orthodontic needs and they are a great alternative to traditional fixed braces.

What are the advantages of Damon Braces?

Damon Braces are suitable for a wide range of patients and they are quicker and more discreet than traditional fixed braces. Damon Braces are not invisible like some of the modern aligner systems, but the brackets are wires are designed to blend in with the natural colour of the teeth for maximum discretion; treatments time are also, on average, around 4-6 months shorter than with traditional fixed braces.

Unlike conventional fixed braces, Damon Braces do not use elastic ties or metal bands and therefore there is no need for regular adjustments, which are often very painful for patients. The braces use self-ligating technology, which prevents friction and gum irritation, and sliding brackets, which apply pressure to the teeth without causing pain.

In the vast majority of cases patients do not need to have teeth extracted before Damon Braces treatment, which is welcome news for patients, especially those who suffer from dental anxiety.

Why should I consider Damon Braces?

If you have moderate or major orthodontic issues and you are looking for a fast, painless and discreet treatment, Damon Braces are an ideal option for Liverpool patients. The braces use technology, which not only increases the speed of tooth movement, but also prevents pain and the brackets are small, delicate and tooth-coloured for optimum discretion. The braces may not be invisible like some aligners, but they are very discreet and they have a wide range of benefits for patients. Fixed braces are also faster and more reliable than removable braces and there is no need to worry about misplacing them or remembering to change them for the next aligner in the treatment process.
