Candidates for Damon Braces

Damon braces are a great option for patients who have orthodontic issues that cannot be fixed with Invisalign, but do not want the look of traditional metal braces. Damon braces are applied to the teeth much like traditional braces, but have a very distinct and helpful feature.  Instead of bulky brackets that need to be tightened frequently by our expert in Damon braces in San Francisco, the brackets are smaller and the wires self-litigating. This means that the wires will move with the teeth as they realign.

 

Candidates for Damon braces include those who are also candidates for traditional braces. They include those with:

 

•  Crooked teeth

• Gaps and crowding

• Crossbites and open bites

• Overbites and underbites

• Rotated teeth

 

The best candidates are also the patients of our orthodontists in San Francisco who have orthodontic flaws that cannot be treated by Invisalign. This includes rotated teeth and teeth that need to be moved vertically.

 

Patients should also know that Damon braces may be able to provide results more quickly than traditional braces, due to the way they function. A consultation with our expert should be able to give you a good estimation of how long treatment should last for you and your smile.
