IS ORTHODONTICS FOR ADULTS?
Often orthodontic treatment is thought of as being the domain of teenagers, and many seem to think that if they didn’t
undergo treatment as an adolescent, they’ve missed the boat. Luckily, this is not true, and today orthodontic treatment is a
viable option for almost any adult. There’s no limit on age when it comes to orthodontics and best of all, thanks to modern
techniques, there are now several options.
Approximately, one in five orthodontic patients is an adult, and this number is continuing to grow. As adult jaws have set into
place, in comparison to adolescents whose jaws are still growing and developing, any changes to the jaw usually require longer
treatment and healing time. But with advancements in orthodontic technology, you now have many options available to you
that will fit in with your lifestyle.
Many patients, particularly adult patients, want a straight smile but feel hesitant
when it comes to the idea of metal braces and wires. The Damon Braces
use clear brackets and white wires which are much more discreet than
traditional metal braces and will instead blend in with your smile.
With the Damon System, there’s no need to hide your smile during
orthodontic treatment!
WHY SHOULD I GET BRACES?
A straighter smile doesn’t just look beautiful; it also plays a vital role in your
oral and overall health. Researchers constantly discover new links between
a healthy smile and our overall health. So straightening your smile goes
beyond the general aesthetic benefits; there are many advantages you
can gain by properly aligning your teeth, including:
• Straight teeth provide an optimal cleaning surface whereas
crooked teeth tend to create extra surface area or crevices that
are difficult to clean.
• Crooked teeth increase the risk of developing gum disease which
in turn is linked to many debilitating diseases such as diabetes,
dementia and heart disease.
• Straightening your smile involves aligning your bite as well, which
allows for optimal dental function and proper speech.
• Crooked teeth or a misaligned bite mean you can’t chew your food as well
as you should, which puts stress on your digestion and can lead to stomach
issues.
• Straight teeth can decrease the risk of injury: crooked teeth involved in a dental
injury or trauma are more likely to damage the soft tissues (such as cheeks and lips)
in the impact.
• Having a good bite also protects the teeth and the jaw joints from excessive
wear and pressure, assisting your oral health in the long run.
The role your teeth play in your overall health is often overlooked, and many people
don’t even know how their oral health affects their general health. If you have
crooked teeth and a misaligned bite, you need to be aware of the health concerns
you’re susceptible to and even more vigilant when it comes to your oral hygiene.

HOW DOES DAMON BRACES WORK?
The aim of the Damon System is to take the best aspects of traditional braces and modify the
procedure and materials to give adults a cosmetic solution to suit their lifestyle.
This advanced system utilises a slide mechanism to hold the arch wire in place instead
of elastic bands. This sliding mechanism causes the brackets to move naturally with
the teeth as they realign, meaning that the procedure is self-adjusting, which can
minimise the amount of appointments needed throughout your treatment.
The slide mechanism also reduces the amount of pressure exerted on the
teeth, which can be more comfortable for those who wish to straighten
their teeth without discomfort.
Damon Braces have a number of benefits over traditional braces. These include:
• Appearance: The clear brackets make them more aesthetically
pleasing because they are virtually invisible.
• Faster treatment time: On average, patients enjoy a six-month
reduction in treatment time.
• Less pressure on the teeth, resulting in less pain and greater comfort.
• Fewer and shorter appointments: With self-ligating brackets, your dentist
doesn’t need to adjust the brackets for you as with traditional braces.
• Fewer places for plaque and bacteria to accumulate on the braces and they
are easier to keep clean, which can help you reach better oral hygiene and healthier
gum tissue.
All these benefits mean more comfort, time, and convenience for you. And as the force used
to move your teeth with Damon Braces is gentler, and teeth are rarely need extracting; there
are very few risks involved.
CAN MY TEETH BE CORRECTED WITH THE DAMON SYSTEM?
The Damon System is designed particularly for adults who are looking to
achieve a great smile in a shorter amount of time and without it being
too noticeable. Since the system is built on the same foundation as
traditional braces, Damon Braces can still treat most of the cases
and situations conventional braces do, including:
• Gaps between teeth
• Crooked and crowded teeth
• Protruding teeth
• Jaw misalignments
By being able to tackle all these conditions, Damon
Braces can help patients with either minor or
complex oral issues. This innovative orthodontic
treatment can greatly improve the appearance
of your smile while remaining discreet
enough to go largely unnoticed.
CAN I RECEIVE AN ALL-INCLUSIVE QUOTE?
The cost of orthodontic treatment is one of the biggest enquiries a patient might
have, and with good reason. It is impossible to provide an accurate quote
before a careful consultation. This is not a marketing trick to avoid the cost
conversation! Even the most experienced orthodontic specialist will need
to carefully assess your smile before providing an accurate quote.
An all-inclusive financial quote and a comprehensive diagnostic
report will help avoid confusion and unexpected costs. It’s
important to enquire as to whether the quote is inclusive of
consultation, pre-treatment reviews, required appliances, and
post-treatment check-ups.
To find out if you are a suitable candidate for Damon Braces and
to get a quote, come in for a consultation so that we can assess
your oral health and the current state of your teeth. This is the
only way we will know for sure which treatment is going to
work best for you and how much it’s going to cost.
