Self-ligating braces
At Dental Oasis, we offer self-ligating braces, including the renowned Damon System, as a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. These innovative orthodontic solutions utilize a self-ligating mechanism to secure the archwire, eliminating the need for elastic ties. This technology enhances comfort, reduces friction, and often results in faster treatment times with fewer appointments. Self-ligating braces are ideal for patients seeking a more efficient and comfortable orthodontic experience.
Procedure of Self-Ligating Braces / Damon Braces
The procedure for self-ligating braces involves several key steps:
Initial Consultation
Our orthodontists assess your teeth to determine if self-ligating braces are suitable for your needs.
Bracket Placement
Self-ligating brackets are attached to each tooth using a special adhesive.
Archwire Installation
A thin, shape-memory archwire is placed through the brackets. The self-ligating mechanism secures the wire without the need for elastic ties.
Adjustments
Regular visits are required to adjust the archwire and ensure proper alignment. However, these appointments are typically shorter and less frequent than those for traditional braces.
Retention Phase
After completing the treatment, a retainer is used to maintain the new alignment.
