Damon brackets


The philosophy of the Damon treatment is based on the fact that a system of weak forces allows the muscles of maxillofacial complex to determine the course of the treatment facilitating physiological occlusion.

Brackets

The Damon-3 System (Damon-3) is a combination of high-tech self-ligating brackets of passive type and Dr. Dwight Damon’s revolutionary way of treatment.

The peculiarity of the system is a very low arch friction in the slots of the brackets and hence, the opportunity to apply light forces to move teeth at all the stages of the orthodontic treatment.

The forces developed by the application of the Damon-3 System are sufficient to stimulate cellular activity. However, they do not prevent from the blood supply of the periodontium. That is to say, they are in the "biozone" or a "zone of optimal forces." The application of such forces gives huge advantages both to the patient and to the doctor.

The advantages of the Damon System:

  • Wider choice for the treatment planning. The indication for tooth removal at orthodontic treatment is lowered
  • Reduction of the treatment time by 25% at least
  • Significant reduction in the number of patient’s visits. At the initial stages of treatment, the intervals between visits are from 8 to 10 weeks.
  • Reduction of the patient’s discomfort at the treatment in connection with the weak forces application
  • Reducation of the work time consumed for installing and substitution for elastic and metal ligatures
  • Simplification of the treatment mechanics means smaller requirements to the appliance and easier space closure
  • Increase in the patient’s expectations for the results of the orthodontic treatment
  • The metal brackets Damon-3МХ offer more comfortable rounded design and the improved mechanism for opening and closing.

The self-ligating Damon Locks ease the access to the second molars and the process of substitution of any cut of arches and fitting II-class correctors making it quick and easy.

The emergence of new, fully metal brackets Damon Q is a giant step forward in the area of technologies of low friction and passive self-ligating systems that will lead to the best and comfort treatment process and its results. Now they have a slim profile and their size is smaller, their groove has the optimized depth and they are equipped with the innovative latches Spin Tek. Other features include design with the splay slot entry for easy fixation of arches, high precision positioning for the brackets installation and double grooves for secondary elements for the new method of treatment.

Damon Q provides quicker and controlled tooth movement and unheard-of clinical results!

The bracket metal construction with 17-4 mark stainless steel provides remarkable strength and durability of the product during the treatment.

The horizontal and vertical grooves provide bigger treatment variations. They include dystopia of canines, palatal position of lateral incisors etc. The system Damon gives you the opportunity to use imperceptible additional hooks, extra arches and devices for changes of the torque and tooth angulation with both rectangular and circular arches.

To perfect the smile line and locate the system more accurately, the system offers a removable positioner for installing the bracket, diamond-shaped design of the bracket and the bracket cushion and the vertical line in the center of the bracket. Each positioner for installing the bracket has its own color that facilitates the choice of the correct item and torque.

Innovative slide - Latch Spin Tek (with a sliding door) with splay slot entry for easy fixation of arches at all the stages of the treatment allows quick and easy replacement of the arches.

The slim profile of the brackets, their small size and rounded edges help to prevent occlusion and contribute to the patient’s maximum comfort. Moreover, such brackets look most aesthetic.

Damon Q is an important element of Damon, a proven combination of passive self-ligating brackets. They are calibrated by the power of the arches and minimally invasive ways of treatment. Working together, these brackets create less friction and gentle force to move teeth. This reduces the treatment time and the number of visits to the dentist, ensures a higher level of the patient comfort and does not require frequent changes of arches and ligatures. It also allows not to use facebows and a quick palatal expander.

The brackets Damon is the natural choice of the patients of the dental clinic "DentaVita"!


These and other technologies are used in the dental centre “Denta Vita” located in the centre of Chisinau, where our qualified dentists take advantage of all their experience with the help of the up-to-date equipment for our patients’ benefit.
