Achieve a beautiful smile with Damon Braces
Damon Braces in Knutsford
Damon Braces are an advanced orthodontic system designed to straighten teeth with less friction and greater comfort. Using innovative self-ligating technology, Damon Braces offer a quicker, more comfortable way to achieve your dream smile.
What are Damon Braces?
Damon Braces are a type of fixed orthodontic system that uses self-ligating brackets and light, shape-memory wires. Unlike traditional braces that require elastic ties to hold the wire in place, Damon Braces allow the wire to move freely, resulting in less pressure on your teeth and gums. This technology reduces discomfort, shortens treatment time, and often eliminates the need for tooth extractions.

- Enhanced comfort: The self-ligating system reduces pressure and friction, making the process more comfortable.
- Improved hygiene: Without elastic ties, it’s easier to keep your braces clean and maintain good oral hygiene.
- Aesthetic options: Damon Clear braces are virtually invisible, making them a discreet choice.
- Natural smile: Damon Braces promote a broader, more balanced arch for a natural, confident smile.
