While Damon braces are self-ligating, they still do require tightening appointments, though not nearly as many as traditional braces do. Because Damon braces gradually tighten as your treatment progresses, you can enjoy shorter and less frequent trips to our Churubusco orthodontist.
Self-ligating braces depend less on the wires and brackets and more on your body’s natural ability to shift your teeth into alignment. Dr. Bixler will evaluate your appliance during your tightening appointment to ensure everything is progressing as it should.
