A Modern Approach to Braces with Damon System
Straighten your teeth and improve your bite with a modern self-ligating braces system at Family Dental Surgery. Damon braces are designed to move teeth efficiently while supporting both functional and aesthetic treatment goals.
Introduction
Damon braces are a type of self-ligating braces system used to correct crooked teeth, crowding, spacing, and bite problems. Unlike conventional braces, they use a specialised built-in mechanism to hold the wire in place, reducing the need for elastic ties.
At Family Dental Surgery, we use Damon Ultima, the latest generation of self-ligating braces from Damon. As one of the most recognised names in self-ligating orthodontic systems, Damon is known for its long-standing clinical presence and continued development in bracket design. Damon Ultima is designed to provide a high level of precision and control as part of a carefully planned orthodontic treatment approach.
Comparing Damon Self-Ligating Braces to Conventional Braces with O-Rings?
Traditional braces use elastic O-rings to hold the wire into each bracket. Damon braces use a self-ligating design, which means the bracket itself holds the wire in place without the need for elastic ties.
Compared with conventional braces that use O-rings, Damon self-ligating braces may offer:
-
Reduced friction during certain phases of treatment, which may support more efficient tooth movement in selected situations. However, overall treatment time still depends mainly on case complexity, treatment mechanics, and patient factors.
-
A cleaner bracket design without elastic ties, which is potentially easier to keep clean.
-
A smaller and more streamlined bracket profile in systems such as Damon Ultima, which may improve day-to-day comfort and reduce the bulky feel of braces for some patients.

A Leading Self-Ligating Braces System
At Family Dental Surgery, we use Damon Ultima, the latest generation of self-ligating braces from Ormco.
Among self-ligating bracket systems, Damon is one of the most established and widely recognised names in orthodontics. Damon Ultima represents the latest development in this system, with a bracket design created to improve engagement between the bracket and wire and support more precise control of tooth movement throughout treatment.
A Carefully Planned Treatment Approach
While no bracket system replaces the need for sound diagnosis and careful treatment planning, the choice of appliance can still make an important difference. Damon Ultima can be advantageous with features designed to support precision, efficiency, and control.
What to Expect
During Treatment
Damon Braces use a more advanced system to move teeth efficiently and comfortably. Treatment is carried out in stages, and we’ll guide you through each step so you know what to expect along the way.
1. Consultation and Records
Your teeth, bite, and facial proportions will first be carefully assessed. Photographs, scans, and X-rays may also be taken to provide a complete picture and support treatment planning.
2. Treatment Planning
A personalised Damon braces plan is created, taking into account your treatment goals as well as the functional and aesthetic requirements of your case.
3. Bonding Appointment
Your Damon braces are fitted to the teeth and treatment is started according to the planned approach.
4. Review Visits
You will usually return every 4 to 6 weeks so we can monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and guide your teeth through each stage of treatment. These visits help keep treatment progressing smoothly and on track.
5. Finishing and Retention
Once the teeth and bite are aligned, the braces are removed and retainers are provided to help maintain the result.
