1- What is the difference between Damon braces and traditional fixed braces?
Damon orthodontics are automatically fixed lengthwise. But to install and secure the fixed traditional braces, it is necessary to see the orthodontist several times. The Damon orthodontic device is installed using a sliding mechanism gradually to obtain a wonderful and tidy straightening of the teeth. In many cases, this method can give you more relief and less pain.
2- What are the types of Damon orthodontics?
Just as traditional fixed orthodontics are made of different types of various alloys and put at the disposal of consumers, Damon orthodontics are made of different materials. In this regard, the Damon transparent and ceramic orthodontic device is the most popular type. Because it does not draw much attention when placed on the teeth.
3- How much faster does the Damon orthosis device perform compared to the fixed orthodontic device?
You can’t expect miracles from the Damon Orthosis. But the high efficiency and speed compared to the traditional method are the two important aspects of the Damon orthosis. Because that prevents multiple reviews of the orthodontist. The speed of moving the teeth during one month is limited, but with Damon orthodontic treatment, the period of orthodontic treatment cannot be reduced to less than 6 months.
4-Does the Damon orthodontic device need an orthodontic chain?
As we mentioned before, the Damon orthosis works automatically and does not require a chain or rubber band. As for the traditional fixed orthodontic appliance, fixing and moving need rubber band and chain necessary.
5- What are the time intervals that must be taken into account when visiting the orthodontist for an examination of the Damon orthodontic device?
You usually need to see an orthodontist for a Damon braces check-up every 6 to 10 weeks. While the orthodontist should be reviewed once a month to check the fixed traditional orthodontic device.
6- Is the Damon braces better or the invisible braces (invisalign)?
The fixed orthodontic device is more effective and faster than the removable orthodontic device such as the invisible braces (invisalign). In addition, the Damon orthosis is considered one of the fixed orthosis devices that has the highest efficiency. The only advantage of the invisible brace compared to the Damon brace is that the patient feels more comfortable and can take the invisible brace out of his mouth if he needs to. However, this leads to a prolongation of the period of orthodontic treatment with invisible removable braces (invisalign).
7-Does the Damon orthosis require a series of rubber rings or orthodontic rubber bands?
Damon orthosis bands are completely automatic and do not require rubber ring chains or orthotic rubber bands. Damon braces are made of effective collars and tweezers that slowly move teeth into the proper position.
