Damon braces are an innovative fixed brace treatment, which use pioneering technology to straighten the teeth and produce amazing smiles. Damon braces use friction-free technology to straighten the teeth quickly and painlessly.

Damon braces use friction-free technology and self-ligating memory wires to gently move teeth as quickly as possible. The brackets use a sliding mechanism and the braces are much finer and lighter than traditional fixed braces. There is no need for elastic or metal bands, which makes treatment more comfortable.
