Damon Braces

Innovative, tieless braces that come in traditional metal or clear material make treatment faster and easier than ever before.

Hassle-Free Braces

Tieless braces paired with advanced archwires provide precise control over tooth movement, requiring fewer office visits and offering maximum results with minimal discomfort.

Why Traditional Metal Damon Braces?

Faster Treatment

Damon braces use self-ligating brackets, which reduce friction and allow for quicker tooth movement, leading to shorter overall treatment time.

Greater Comfort

Designed to be gentler on your teeth and gums, the self-ligating system minimizes the discomfort associated with traditional braces.

Fewer Visits

Damon braces need fewer adjustments since they don’t require elastic ties, saving time and making treatment more convenient—perfect for your busy schedule.

Improved Aesthetics

Damon braces’ sleek design and smaller profile are more comfortable and less noticeable than standard metal braces.

Why clear Damon braces?

Discreet Look

Made from translucent materials, Damon clear braces blend naturally with your teeth—a subtle option compared to traditional metal braces.

Convenient Schedule

Since Damon clear braces also don’t require elastic ties, you’ll need fewer visits to the orthodontist for adjustments.

Faster Results

Like Damon metal braces, the self-ligating system in Damon clear braces reduces friction, allowing teeth to move more efficiently and shortening treatment time.

Gentler Treatment

A slide mechanism holds the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing them to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably.

What’s the difference between Damon traditional and Damon clear braces?

Damon traditional braces are metal, while Damon clear braces are made of a translucent material that blends with your teeth for a more discreet look. Both systems use the same self-ligating (tieless) technology for quicker, more comfortable treatment.

How long will I need to wear Damon braces?

On average, treatment takes about 18 to 24 months. Damon braces are faster than traditional braces because of the self-ligating system, so you might finish a bit earlier than you expect!

Are Damon braces comfortable?

Damon braces are designed to be gentler on your teeth and gums. The self-ligating brackets reduce friction, meaning less pressure and discomfort compared to traditional braces.

How often do I need to visit Dr. Welmerink or Dr. Utter with Damon braces?

One of the main benefits of Damon braces is that you’ll need fewer visits than with traditional braces. Since Damon braces don’t use elastic ties, adjustments are less frequent—usually every 8 to 10 weeks, streamlining your treatment experience.

Are Damon braces more effective than traditional braces?

Damon braces are generally more effective because their tieless technology moves teeth more efficiently.

Can I eat whatever I want with Damon braces?

Like with traditional braces, you still need to avoid hard or sticky foods like candy, popcorn, or ice. However, Damon braces are more flexible than traditional ones, so you’ll probably have fewer restrictions overall. Dr. Welmerink and Dr. Utter can give you specific guidance.

Are Damon clear braces as strong as Damon metal braces?

Yes! While Damon clear braces are more discreet, they’re still just as strong and effective as traditional metal braces and use the same self-ligating technology to move teeth efficiently.

How do I take care of my teeth and braces during treatment?

Brush and floss twice a day and after you eat. We recommend flossers that are easier to use with braces such as a WaterPik. Avoid hard or sticky foods and call us right away if you notice anything that seems out of place.
