Recently updated

Broadway Family Dentistry, located in Brooklyn, NY, is proud to offer Damon Braces. These innovative new braces are a part of the revolutionary Damon System, which combines advanced wire technology with clinically proven tie-less brackets that move the teeth faster and more comfortably, providing a truly breathtaking smile and facial results. Damon braces are a whole new way of treating both teen and adult orthodontic patients. At Broadway Family Dentistry, we pride ourselves on using the latest advances in orthodontics to reduce our patient’s discomfort and create gorgeous smiles that will last a lifetime.

One of the latest technological advances in orthodontics is Damon fixed braces. Conventional fixed braces require an elastic to hold the wire in place. The elastic exerts a frictional force which has to be overcome before the wire is able to work and move your teeth. Self-ligating braces are able to hold the wire in place without the need for an elastic. This means the wire is able to move freely from the outset to allow your teeth to move freely and comfortably.

You can finally finish your search for “damon braces near me” by booking an appointment with a board-certified dentist Ella Dekhtyar. She offers only proven and advanced approaches that will you ensure you with a perfect smile.

What Are the Advantages of Damon Braces?

According to the world-class family and cosmetic dentist Ella Dekhtyar, the most compelling benefits of self-ligating braces are the reduction in the length of treatment and less associated subjective discomfort.

Other purported Damon braces advantages include:

• Improved infection control
• More effective chair-side manipulation
• Promotion of periodontal health
• Decrease in required appointments

As the brackets are self-ligating the wire is continually working allowing you to have longer intervals between your appointments, we can see you every 10-12 weeks rather than 6-8 weeks to minimize the disruption to your normal daily schedules. The brackets are smaller and without elastics, they are much easier to keep clean. As the teeth braces are freely moving the treatment duration may be reduced compared to conventional braces.

What Is the Difference Between Traditional Braces and Damon Braces?

1. Instead of using Elastics, the brackets on Damon Braces are a passive self- litigating system. The wires are held in place by a sliding mechanism. This allows for more freedom of movement and eliminates the need for tightening by the orthodontist.

2. The wires used in Damon Braces are lighter than traditional wires, only 0.014 inches in width and with the use of unique shape memory technology. They are composed of copper, nickel and titanium allow. Teeth have the ability to move faster and fewer adjustments will be necessary.

When it comes to comparing the benefits of Damon braces vs traditional braces, the Damon system seems to have an upper hand. Besides removing the unpleasant tightening experience, eliminating the elastics also produces a more attractive final result.

With Traditional braces, elastics tend to be a gathering place for plaque. Damon fixed braces are easier to keep clean, resulting in less hassle for patients. The brackets are attached to the teeth with a laser-etched pad. This patented method of bonding provides more opportunities for customization and creates a strong and reliable bond.
