Damon Braces
Low friction braces using gentle forces
Not available for NHS treatments
Designed differently to metal and white conventional braces, the Damon System uses special brackets that allow the wire to move freely.
This provides more comfort as gentler forces are required to move teeth. There are also no elastic ties around the brackets, so it helps to reduce friction, improve oral hygiene and speed up treatment time too.
Damon Braces are still fixed to the teeth. However, the wires are held on to the brackets by miniature “clips” as opposed to elastic bands. As elastics can sometimes discolour, this system helps your fixed brace to stay fresh and clean.
The Damon System also use different wires which are intended to deliver very gentle forces to your teeth. Gentle forces are useful in orthodontics as they can reduce the risk of untoward side effects of braces. In fact, using strong forces can actually cause teeth to move slower.
The wires work for longer than conventional wires, which means fewer visits to your orthodontist during treatment making the overall treatment more convenient.
Damon Braces are available as part of our Platinum Plus Plan which comprises clear brackets on the upper teeth and a choice of metal or clear brackets on the lower teeth, depending on tooth size.

"Now the brace is off after only 16 months and I don't know where the time has gone. For me the result is remarkable. It's hard to believe how much movement can be achieved. Don't think about it as long as I did. Make that appointment, you won't regret it."

"The whole experience was great, the staff were very friendly and my appointments were always quick and on time - so I was able to fit them in around work. I now like showing off my smile and my self confidence has improved. My only regret is that I waited all those years before I plucked up the courage to do it!"
Alison
"After just 15 months I am amazed and very pleased with the smile I now have. I no longer hide from the camera and am more than happy to show off my brilliant smile and my self confidence in general is much higher. I only wish I had done it years ago."
