Discreet Straightening With Damon Braces In Liverpool

Thursday, February 28th, 2013

Orthodontic conditions, such as crooked, protruding, overcrowded and irregularly spaced teeth, may be genetic or may result from oral habits. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we offer individuals discreet teeth straightening treatments for mild to severe misaligned teeth.

Misaligned teeth may not only detract from appearance but may impact nutritional choices, communication ability and confidence. Therefore we offer trusted modern braces solutions, such as Damon braces, as part of our holistic approach to patient care.

The Damon braces system

The Damon braces system is designed for ultimate discretion and comfort. Custom-made, the tooth-coloured ceramic brackets blend with the existing teeth, applying gentle corrective orthodontic force to straighten teeth while allowing for normal activities.

A modern alternative to traditional metal braces, Damon braces are fixed in place without metal or elastic ties. There is no discomfort as experienced with the older metal braces systems because Damon braces are formed using a friction-free, self-ligating mechanism.

The self-ligating technology is made with slide mechanism action between the ceramic brackets and arch wires enabling normal oral function without irritation or undue pressure. Meals may be enjoyed for good nutrition with better communication ability when socialising with others.

Discreet braces treatment

Throughout treatment, wearers feel more confident as their Damon braces are not obvious to others and they are able to maintain a healthy oral hygiene standard. Self-image is preserved and results are evident four to six months sooner than alternate fixed braces systems.

Damon braces are a modern treatment for not only mild but severe orthodontic conditions impacting bite. Where alternate systems may not be suitable or may take longer to give teeth straightening results, Damon braces is a choice solution.

Our Orthodontist assesses each person’s unique oral structures to determine the right teeth straightening treatment. Information is provided about different braces systems that may be removable or fixed like Damon braces with benefits, risks and costs.

Discreet And Fast Damon Braces Are Here For Patients In Liverpool

Monday, December 10th, 2012

Damon Braces are a highly discreet, comfortable and fast acting fixed brace system. It offers an outstanding level of tooth movement and still remains unnoticed within the mouth.

What makes Damon Braces so discreet?

The brackets used in the Damon Brace system easily blend with the colour of the teeth. This makes the brackets highly discreet. Even though Damon Brace systems are not fully invisible as clear aligners, it can only be noticed by someone who is standing or sitting very close. Due to the softer appearance of these Braces, the effect it will have on your smile will not be as huge as with traditional braces.

What makes Damon Braces easy to use?

Friction free and self-ligating technology is used in Damon Braces, and it does not use elastic or metal ties. The main reasons for gum irritation with braces are ties, as they require regular tightening. The brackets used in the Damon Braces system using a sliding mechanism to holds the wires. This allows optimum movement for the tooth. The treatment period with Damon Braces will be around 5-6 months shorter than other fixed brace systems.

Benefits of Damon Braces

Perhaps the greatest benefit of choosing the Damon brace system is that they can be easily cleaned. Generally the elastic and metal ties used with fixed brace systems become the breeding ground for bacteria and plaque. When it comes to Damon Braces, they do not need the ties used in other fixed brace systems, meaning they will be a lot more hygienic. The level of tooth movement provided by Damon Braces is unachievable by aligners. Issues such as crossbites, overbites, underbites and many other complex issues are generally untreatable with aligners; however these problems can be treated with the help of the Damon Braces system.

Fixed Braces Take On Modern Technology For Patients In Liverpool

Tuesday, October 9th, 2012

To the uninformed, fixed braces might seem like some antiquated throwback to American high school dramas: Something worn for kitsch, or because they are cheap. They might say things like ‘in a world where you can have clear removable aligners, why would you want fixed braces?’ For the record, these imagined people would be morons (or at least severely uninformed). Fixed braces are still with us because they are one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatments available. Removable aligners are also only suitable for certain problems, whereas fixed braces can tackle even the most complicated of bite problems. The removable aligner, therefore, is not the technological advancement of the fixed brace. Damon and In-Ovation R braces, however, are.

What are Damon braces?

Damon braces utilise a unique ‘sliding door’ mechanism which eliminates the need for elastic in your braces. This allows your teeth to move without friction, making both your experience with your braces much more comfortable and the brace itself easier to clean. The absence of elastic also means fewer adjustment appointments! Their special design also improves treatment time: Treatment can be cut by up to 25% with Damon braces. Damon braces are also more discreet as they utilise a ceramic-reinforced bracket system which can be coloured to fit in with your teeth’s natural appearance. They braces will not be invisible, but they won’t be too obvious either.

What are In-Ovation R braces?

Much like Damon braces, In-Ovation R braces are ‘self-litigating’. Both Damon and In-Ovation R braces offer similar advantages to each other, meaning they are both faster and more comfortable than conventional fixed braces.

The benefits of fixed braces

Aside from the advantages mentioned in the opening paragraph, one of the benefits of fixed braces is that they cannot be removed. This may seem a little odd, but allowing you to remove your braces opens up a vista of potential for human error: Removable aligners need to be worn for between 20 – 22 hours a day. Forgetting to put them back on can delay treatment and sometimes undo all of the orthodontic progress you’ve achieved. With fixed braces, you have no such problems.

Damon Braces Impress Patients in Liverpool

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

Straight teeth are something everyone wants however the length of time it takes can be serious downside. This is however not the case with Damon braces, in most cases they can complete the task of standard fitted braces and shave off anywhere from 4 to 6 months of the total treatment time.

The benefits of Damon braces

Unlike standard fitted braces they are also far more discreet. Damon braces use a ceramic-reinforced bracket system which can be made to blend in with the natural teeth. The wires used are also finer than standard braces. They are not invisible like clear aligners but they are less noticeable and because they are finer they do not impact on the smile as much.

How do they work?

Damon braces use a friction-free, self-litigating technology which means they do not need to use metal or elastic ties. It is these ties that tend to the the cause of most gum irritation. However Damon braces have a slide mechanism on the brackets which is used to provide the tension required to move the teeth, without the excessive pressure caused by metal or elastic ties.

How long is the treatment time?

The average treatment time for standard braces is 12 to 18 months, however with Damon braces this time frame could be cut down to as little as 6 to 10 months. This is of course dependant on the level of treatment required. Unlike standard braces which can create areas where plaque and bacteria can breed, Damon braces so not use metal or elastic ties it makes them much easier to keep clean.

Although they are not as discreet as the clear aligners they are capable of handing issues that clear aligners cannot. Problems such as overbites, crossbites, underbites, and other more complex issues can easily be tackled with Damon braces.

Monday, June 11th, 2012

If you want to achieve that perfect straight smile then you could consider the benefits of advanced fixed braces at Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Spa where we use Damon fixed braces to straighten our patients’ teeth in no time! An alternative to the traditional fixed metal brace, Damon braces use the latest technology to help move teeth into their desired direction in less time than other fixed brace equivalents.

How do Damon Braces work?

The system works by gradually moving the teeth over time and is made up of memory titanium wires that are shaped into a specific design. This provides a much more gentle force, which causes the teeth to move quickly and effectively.

What are the benefits of Damon Braces?

The Damon Brace system comes with a number of benefits for the patient, these include:

A shorter treatment time, which is usually around six months less than other brace treatments.
The Damon Brace also has an improved dental hygiene, as it doesn’t use elastic bands, which are known to cause a build up of plaque and bacteria.
They also have a much more discreet appearance, as they have fine wires and brackets that are less obvious than traditional train track braces of the past.

The Damon Brace system is also suitable for teenagers and adults, and can be used to treat a wide range of dental problems such as: twisted teeth, crowded teeth, crooked teeth and any gaps in between the teeth.

The Damon Brace is also one of the least painful orthodontic treatments around, as it uses self-ligating friction free wires and brackets, which adjust themselves as your teeth move.
