Damon Braces
Faster, more comfortable braces using self-ligating technology.
Damon braces at Dr. Pink Orthodontics in New Paltz, NY, offer a modern alternative to traditional metal braces. These self-ligating braces use a sliding mechanism, rather than elastic bands, to hold the archwire in place. This allows for smoother, more efficient tooth movement with fewer visits and a more comfortable overall experience.
Damon braces use self-ligating brackets that secure the wire without elastic bands. This allows the wire to move freely and adapt as your teeth shift. They also incorporate shape-memory wires that apply light, consistent pressure—helping guide your teeth into alignment more naturally. At our New Paltz, NY office, patients benefit from quicker results and fewer appointments compared to traditional systems.
Damon braces help align teeth more efficiently and comfortably than standard braces. Patients experience faster results, fewer office visits, and less friction during adjustments. This system also supports improved hygiene and reduces the likelihood of needing extractions or expanders all while delivering a broader, more confident smile.
Teens and adults seeking effective orthodontic results with fewer disruptions to daily life may benefit from Damon braces. They're ideal for patients who want less noticeable hardware, fewer appointments, and potentially quicker treatment. Those with moderate to complex alignment needs who value comfort and efficiency should consider this option.
Patients receiving Damon braces enjoy fewer in-office adjustments thanks to the self-ligating design. The treatment experience is often more comfortable than traditional braces, with lighter pressure and less soreness. Most patients report a smoother, more manageable journey with visible improvements in smile width and alignment along the way.
While treatment times vary, many patients complete Damon braces up to six months faster than traditional systems. Dr. Pinkerous will assess your needs and develop a timeline tailored to your smile goals. Fewer adjustments often mean fewer visits and faster results.
Damon braces may have a slightly higher upfront cost than traditional braces, but many patients find the faster results and fewer appointments worth the investment. We offer flexible payment plans and accept many insurance plans to make care more accessible.
Patients may experience mild soreness when Damon braces are first placed or adjusted. However, thanks to the light-force technology, discomfort is typically minimal. At Dr. Pink Orthodontics, we provide tips for managing any sensitivity and maintaining excellent oral hygiene during your recovery for a healthier, more comfortable treatment experience.
