We are pleased to offer our patients new Damon System self-ligating braces. These new braces are one of the most
exciting technological breakthroughs in the history of Orthodontics.
For years, the traditional thinking was that heavy forces – based on what a patient could tolerate – were needed to move teeth. Most people believed that crooked teeth were the result of “too many teeth for small mouths”. Traditional approaches therefore often called for permanent teeth to be removed (extracted), or the use of devices known as a rapid palatal expanders. Even though teeth could be nicely aligned with this approach, long term research has shown a negative impact on the aging face, bone, and tissue.
The Damon System is very different. It uses high-technology braces and very light flexible wires. We can now move teeth much more quickly and comfortably, most often without extractions or rapid palatal expanders, and to do so in less time and with less discomfort than ever before.
Amazingly, patients of all ages are enjoying more comfortable treatment – in far less time! And people all around the world are experiencing startling transformations of the face and the smile that are nothing short of extraordinary…
Take a close look at people treated with the Damon System and you will see that they have experienced a metamorphosis in their lives. They feel better about themselves. They’ve grown in confidence. They’re more comfortable in social situations. And, put quite simply, they just look more attractive.
The Damon System goes far beyond straightening crooked teeth. It is about creating beautiful faces.
As seen in the following case, we can create a more youthful, natural-looking appearance by providing a broader, fuller archform and improved smile line.
All braces and orthodontic treatments are not the same. With the options available today, it is more important than ever for parents and patients to carefully select the type of braces and technology that will be used. The Damon System not only produces beautiful smiles and straight teeth, but carefully considers how the face is going to change and mature, minimizing the aging process.
With the Damon System, we work with the natural forces of your body to provide you with a terrific smile in a shorter period of time, and usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.
With the Damon System, this is a very exciting time for Orthodontics and our patients!
Damon Clear
Who says appearances can be deceiving?

Damon Clear – the true innovation in clarity.
Clear Performance
Completely aesthetic passive self-ligation bracket with unparalleled design.
Sturdy polycrystalline alumina (PCA) construction is impervious to staining and discoloration.
Advanced passive self-ligation technology with low ligation force, minimizing frictional resistance for more efficient tooth movement.
Four solid walls enable full rotation control for meticulous finishing.
Comfort Fit
Precision Bracket Placement
Fast and Easy Wire Changes
More Than the Sum of Its Parts
Damon Clear is an essential part of the Damon System, a proven combination of passive self-ligating brackets, force-calibrated archwires and minimally invasive treatment protocols that work together as a low-friction system.
The Damon System eliminates the need for traditional mechanics that may require more frequent tooth extractions, headgear or RPEs. Because the Damon System employs a lower ligation force, frictional resistance is minimized, leading to less unwanted forces in magnitude and direction. This facilitates more efficient treatment modalities. As a result, you can provide your patients with faster treatment time in fewer appointments and with greater comfort.

Insignia
You're getting braces. And while you’re excited about having that great smile, you may be nervous about wearing the wires and brackets. Well, there is a new orthodontic system that makes straightening your teeth with braces a lot faster and easier compared to conventional orthodontic treatment. It’s called Insignia and it’s changing the way people feel about their braces.
Shorter Treatment Times
You’ve probably heard from friends or family members that wearing braces is a long-term commitment, taking two years on average. While that may be true of traditional orthodontic treatments, it’s not true for Insignia. Through the use of Insignia’s sophisticated 3-D imaging, treatment planning, and customized braces with customized precision archwires, your orthodontist can reduce treatment time compared to that of conventional braces.
Fewer Office Visits
In addition to shortening treatment times, the greater efficiency of the Insignia system also helps reduce the number of wire changes and adjustments you’ll need, and that means fewer trips to the orthodontist. The Insignia system’s 3-D software lets your orthodontist analyze how to effectively and efficiently align your teeth. Through this software, personalized archwires are designed to move your teeth into proper alignment smoothly and directly, reducing the number of maintenance visits.
