Why Choose Damon Braces London?

Damon braces London are a modern orthodontic appliance used to straighten teeth. They consist of high-technology metal or ceramic brackets and an arch wire, similar to conventional braces, but lighter. The Damon system uses state-of-the-art low-friction technology to allow movement of teeth quickly but gently, allowing you to achieve your perfect smile painlessly.

  • The slide wire mechanism eliminates the need for the band and elastic setup meaning shorter treatment times, and less strain on teeth caused by the tightening of bands and elastics
  • Comfortable despite the strength used to move out-of-place teeth
  • Ceramic brackets blend in with the shade of teeth to make it less obvious
  • Strong materials used and therefore quicker results
  • Compact designs allow for easier cleaning around brackets, and therefore easier to maintain good oral hygiene
  • Healthy teeth are extracted only on rare occasions, and the clinically proven treatment approach will provide a fuller natural facial profile without the need for palatal expanders.

When commencing your treatment with Damon braces London, the dentist will take an impression of your mouth and send it to the laboratory. The Damon brackets are manufactured for your teeth which ensures optimum results are achieved at the end of treatment. Once the Damon brackets are made, each bracket is bonded to the teeth with a dental bond whilst maintaining strict moisture control. After having the braces fitted, you will be asked to come back every few weeks for the dentist to review and adjust the appliance.

Will I Need To Have Teeth Extracted To Have Damon Braces in London?

With Damon braces, it is unlikely that we will need to extract teeth to create space, thanks to the way the system uses biologically sensible forces that work with the body’s natural adaptive processes. This achieves a broader, natural profile. In a few cases, however, there may be a need to extract teeth to create enough space. This will be performed with consideration of facial balance and profile.

How Much Will Damon Braces Cost in London?

The price of Damon Braces depends on complexity and length of treatment, but on average Damon braces in London costs around £3600.

Anything else…

Any braces, aligners and other oral devices take time to get used to.  Initially, it feels uncomfortable, with hyper- or hypo- salivation common, and a small lisp can be present, this usually disappears after a few days.

The biggest risks with any orthodontic treatment are decay and gum disease developing.  When wearing any oral device, dentures, braces, aligners, or retainers, it is more difficult to clean the teeth and gums.  This can cause decay, and gum disease, so it is imperative to maintain excellent oral hygiene.  It is often recommended to attend more regularly hygiene appointments, use a fluoride mouthwash and spend extra time cleaning the teeth during orthodontic treatment. Please see here for further information on maintaining good oral hygiene.  Small interdental brushes are particularly good for cleaning between the braces and teeth.

Retention:  After treatment is completed, we normally place removable (similar to clear aligners, but non-pressurised) or fixed retainers (thin wire bonded to the back of teeth) to hold them in their new position.  Over time these can wear down or de-bond and they may need replacing, extra fees will be due when and if they need replacing.
