The Damon Braces Treatment Process

At London Dental Specialists, we utilise the innovative Damon Braces system to provide efficient and comfortable orthodontic treatment. This self-ligating technology offers numerous advantages over traditional braces, including faster treatment times and reduced discomfort.

Key Features of Damon Braces Treatment

• Self-Ligating Mechanism: Damon Braces use a unique sliding mechanism that eliminates the need for elastic or metal ties.


• Gentle, Continuous Forces: The system applies light, consistent pressure to move teeth more efficiently.


• Reduced Friction: The absence of ties allows for freer tooth movement, potentially shortening treatment duration.


• Enhanced Comfort: Patients often report less discomfort compared to traditional braces.

What to Expect During Your Damon Braces Treatment

Your Damon Braces treatment at London Dental Specialists typically involves the following steps:

1. Bracket Bonding: We carefully attach the Damon brackets to your teeth using a special dental adhesive.


2. Initial Wire Placement: A lightweight, shape-memory wire is inserted into the brackets to begin guiding your teeth into position.


3. Periodic Adjustments: You'll visit us every 8-10 weeks for check-ups and wire changes as needed.


4. Progress Monitoring: We'll track your tooth movement and make any necessary refinements to your treatment plan.


5. Final Refinements: As you near the end of treatment, we'll make final adjustments to perfect your smile.

• Shorter Treatment Time: Many patients complete their treatment faster than with traditional braces.


• Fewer Appointments: The self-ligating system often requires fewer adjustments, saving you time.

Post Damon Braces Treatment Care

Maintaining your beautiful new smile after Damon Braces treatment is essential for long-lasting results. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive aftercare to ensure your newly aligned teeth remain perfectly positioned for years to come.

Your Retention Phase

Once your Damon Braces are removed, you'll enter the crucial retention phase:

• Custom Retainers: We'll fit you with precisely crafted retainers designed to maintain your new tooth alignment.


• Wear Schedule: Initially, you'll wear your retainers full-time, gradually transitioning to night-time wear only.


• Long-term Maintenance: Continued night-time wear is recommended to preserve your results indefinitely.


• Regular Check-ups: Periodic retention appointments allow us to monitor your smile and make any necessary adjustments.

Types of Retainers We Offer

We provide several retainer options to suit your lifestyle and preferences:

• Fixed Retainers: Thin wires bonded behind your teeth for continuous, invisible retention.


• Clear Removable Retainers: Custom-fitted transparent trays that are nearly invisible when worn.

Post-Treatment Oral Health Care

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene after Damon Braces treatment is vital:

• Professional Cleaning: We recommend a thorough dental cleaning immediately after your braces are removed.


• Enhanced Home Care: We'll provide guidance on optimal brushing and flossing techniques for your newly aligned teeth.


• Regular Dental Check-ups: Continuing with routine dental examinations every six months helps preserve your oral health.

Managing Post-Treatment Adjustments

It's normal to experience some adjustment after your Damon Braces are removed:

• Minor Sensitivity: Some teeth may feel temporarily sensitive as they settle into their new positions.


• Speech Adaptation: A brief period of adjustment may be needed if you're wearing removable retainers.


• Retainer Care: We'll teach you how to properly clean and maintain your retainers for optimal longevity.
