All About My Damon Braces

Hi guys,

Happy New Year! Now I know its a Friday and I post on a Monday but I thought I would explain my Damon Braces to you as I don't have the standard regular braces.

On the right you can see traditional braces with the elastics and hooks and here on the left you can see Damon braces, which are the ones I have.

Damon braces are designed with gates which are on the front of the brackets. This allows the wires to glide easier and therefore move your teeth much faster and more efficiently. Also, people with Damon braces do not have to have teeth extracted or removed, as the rate in which the teeth move is much faster than the traditional braces. Another positive about these braces is that they are self ligating which means that they don't require 'o' ties or elastics as they are commonly known. Other advantages include:

• A more natural finish compared to the traditional braces
• You don't have to visit the orthodontist regularly
• The time you have them on is shorter than the traditional braces

Sorry for rambling, but I thought I would just clear this up for everyone who thought that my brackets looked a bit peculiar.

Bye guys,
