The Damon method is one of the latest orthodontic solutions. Damon braces use an orthodontic that has a hole to hold the wires. According to this system, the teeth move in the desired and appropriate directions.
Damon braces are similar in appearance to fixed braces using metal or ceramic brackets, except that they have their own mechanism. In the Damon orthodontic system, the orthodontic wire is not attached to the arch with a clip or ligature. In this regard, the hygiene of the Damon system is better than that of the standard orthodontic system. In some cases, it has been claimed that the Damon method’s orthodontic treatment length is shorter than the standard method. However, this point is not mentioned in any scientific book on orthodontics and there is no evidence to support this claim. It is believed that this claim has a more publicity aspect that these types of brackets have more sales. This advertising claim was made by the manufacturer of the Damon orthodontic system, which has not been scientifically proven in university centers. Damon’s expensive brackets are another weakness of this system.
