London SE1 dentist use discreet Damon braces
12 / 12 / 2009
The old style fixed metal braces have put a lot of people off having fixed braces who might benefit from treatment, but new Damon braces are staking a claim for modern fixed-bracket braces as the most effective and comfortable form of orthodontic teeth-straightening.
We are all aware of the old style ‘train track’ style braces having had to wear them ourselves or knowing somebody who has. Anyone who has worn this type pf brace can tell you just how uncomfortable they can be sometimes, with nasty metal wires and brackets sticking into the soft tissue lining of the mouth. You don’t have to have worn these braces to know how unattractive they can look and how messy they can make eating. But the new Damon braces have addressed all these problems and more to produce discreet, comfortable and incredibly powerful fixed braces. They also have the added bonus of working, on average, six months faster than the old style braces.
The secret to Damon braces’ success is the self-ligating memory wire and 60 per cent smaller ceramic brackets used to hold it. The self-ligating wire has removed the need for painful brace tightening, an unpleasant necessity of the old braces. This also means that far fewer appointments are needed during the treatment. Because the brackets are half the size of their predecessors and made of white ceramic they are also far more discreet. They also allow for much easier teeth cleaning keeping your mouth healthier. Damon braces do not use metal or elastic ties which were also breeding grounds for bacteria, making the mouth unhealthy.
London SE1 dentists are currently offering patients these incredible new braces that are revolutionising the world of fixed orthodontic braces. Capable of producing stunning results, the Damon brace is the future of fixed orthodontic treatment.
