What Makes the Damon System
Different?
1. Passive self-ligating braces that are much more gentle to the teeth.
2. High-technology wires that move teeth much faster and require far fewer adjustments.
3. A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns the teeth and enhances facial aesthetics – usually without extractions.
Clinically Proven Advantages*
• Significantly better results
• Significantly shorter treatment times
• Far fewer adjustments required

The following are photos of actual people treated with the Damon System
All were treated without extractions,
without rapid palatal expanders and without surgery.
Please note that while all cases can be treated with the Damon System, most but not all can be treated without extractions, RPEs or surgery. Consult your orthodontist for details.
The results that can be achieved with orthodontics today are far better than just a few years ago. We can now create beautiful smiles and faces in about half the time, and now most often without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.

Q & AQ & A
Are Braces Right For You?
• Are all braces the same?
With the Damon System, we don’t just align the
teeth. We create beautiful smiles accounting
for a patient’s face, profile and other factors in
anticipating what they will look like in
their 40s, 50s and beyond to
deliver results for a lifetime.
Are Braces Right For You?
• How long does treatment take?
Depending on your case, treatment time with
the Damon System is up to 50% faster than with
conventional braces. Another benefit – far fewer
appointments are required
during treatment.
Are Braces Right For You?
• Since the Damon System works so quickly, does that mean it is harsh or unsafe?
No. In fact, what makes the Damon System work so
quickly is that it uses far gentler, more biologically
sensible forces than conventional braces. The low-
friction nature of the system assures improved tooth
position and improved
facial harmony.
Are Braces Right For You?
• Will my teeth hurt after adjustments?
Very light “shape memory” titanium wires are used
that gently guide your teeth to their ideal position.
Many people experience very little discomfort.
Are Braces Right For You?
• Aren’t braces big and bulky?Not any more! Braces are much smaller than they were just a few years ago, and new materials are now used that make them very discreet.
• What about adult treatment?No problem. Adults can be treated quickly, easily, and most importantly, to a high-quality result.
