Damon brackets are a type of self-ligating braces. While traditional metal or clear braces use archwires, o-rings (or elastics), and brackets that are gradually tightened to apply pressure and shift teeth, Damon braces use a passive “self-ligating” bracket to adjust pressure. Instead of being secured to the teeth with elastics, Damon brackets are and archwires are secured with a small metal door that allows the bracket to slide easily along the archwire, allowing for more flexible tooth movement and minimizing friction.
Damon brackets can offer more precision in alignment, more comfort during treatment, and shorter treatment times than traditional braces.
