Have you heard of Damon’s braces? They’re a great way to create a straighter, more uniform, more attractive smile. Here’s our guide to the treatment, offered by our orthodontists here in Stockport.

What are Damon’s braces?

They’re adjustable fixed braces, which get rid of the elastics and metal ties traditionally used in adult braces. They use a clever self-ligating mechanism, which allows the brackets to slide on the wires, so teeth can move more freely.

What are the positives of Damon’s treatment?

Here is a quick breakdown.

  • Less friction and pressure than traditional braces, for more comfortable treatment
  • High-technology archwires for greater efficiency
  • 3D software to design your bespoke treatment
  • Clear components available for a discreet treatment experience
  • Fewer trips to the orthodontist’s

And the negatives?

We don’t believe there are many negatives involved with Damon braces, but here are some factors you might want to consider:

  • More visible than clear plastic aligners, although clear components are available
  • Fixed to your smile for the duration of treatment
  • Potentially more expensive than traditional braces – though this varies between cases 

How do I start treatment?

It all begins with a consultation with our orthodontists here in Stockport. We’ll assess your smile and general medical dental records, talk you through treatment, and demonstrate how the braces work. You can also feel free to ask us any questions and familiarise yourself with our dental practice.

How long do results take?

It’s impossible to give a timeframe without seeing your unique case. Everyone requires a different approach to treatment, depending on the condition and placement of their teeth. That’s why we advise a consultation – we’ll be able to give you a clearer picture then.

What other options are there?

We offer many different kinds of braces here in Stockport. One of the most popular are clear aligners – a removable aligner that fits over your teeth. We can also go down a more traditional fixed brace route, such as NHS braces, but that does depend on your eligibility. During your consultation, we’ll happily talk you through what’s available and advise you on the best treatment for your case, as well as look at other factors such as treatment timescales and budget.
