Self-ligating braces are helping patients across East Tennessee and may be the ideal solution for your orthodontic needs. This alternative to traditional braces is popular with youth and adult patients alike. We offer self-ligating braces to correct various forms of misalignment, including teeth crowding, spacing, underbites, and overbites.
Increased comfort
Self-ligating braces free each tooth to move on its own, whereas rubber bands adjust all teeth in unison. The extra wiggle room allows the braces to align your teeth with less pressure, reducing soreness and facilitating a more comfortable experience.
Reduced treatment time
Each patient’s situation is different, but Damon braces generally offer a faster process. The brackets and wires are just as effective throughout the treatment, while rubber bands lose elasticity and strength over time. They also require fewer appointments, saving time and money.
Simplified at-home care
With Damon braces, patients enjoy healthier teeth and easier brushing. Damon braces are easier to clean because there are fewer components to work around. Plus, there are fewer tight spaces for plaque to accumulate.
Clear brackets
With this treatment, you have the option for clear brackets. Damon Smile clear brackets are practically invisible in your mouth. Adult patients especially love clear braces for their subtle look.
