Thurman Orthodontics

Orthodontic Treatments

Our office is pleased to offer our patients passive self-ligating Damon System braces. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. This is a revolutionary approach to orthodontics, and thanks to these innovative new braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible!

Damon Clear

Our office also offers Damon Clear!  This bracket was specifically designed for those patients who desire orthodontic treatment with brackets but want the least noticeable orthodontic treatment possible! It is part of the innovative Damon System, which combines tieless brackets and high technology archwires that are clinically proven to move teeth quickly and comfortably with spectacular results. Damon Clear combines the best of traditional clear braces and efficient technology to deliver a discrete treatment experience with results that go beyond straight teeth.

 

Tie-less braces -- A world without elastic ties

Tie-less braces help reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.

Damon System

The Damon System facilitates healthy tooth movement with complete control. By combining tie-less brackets and high-tech archwires, we can minimize discomfort and create beautiful smiles that last a lifetime.

Braces are the beginning, but the system makes the smile!

The Damon System is not just about revolutionary braces and wires; it's a whole new way of treating patients! What's different about the Damon System is that it allows us to put much lighter forces on the teeth which work in conjunction with the muscles of the face, cheeks, and tongue.  This decreases the discomfort that patients feel through the orthodontic process, and greatly increases the types of cases that can be treated with high-force expansion or extraction of healthy teeth!  Also, without the elastic ties, it makes the braces much easier to clean which means healthier teeth and gum tissues during and after treatment.

Technology

Damon tie-less braces eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties."  Without the need for elastic ties, the high forces that are responsible for the discomfort of traditional braces and negative side effects such as root shortening and gum recession are greatly reduced.  The light forces also allow the teeth to move more freely, which means shorter treatment times for our patients and fewer visits required to achieve truly exceptional results. 

Comfort

Even though the Damon System works  quickly, the use of gentle, low-friction force means less discomfort for you as the teeth move into alignment.

Convenience

Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties, which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment. Plus, the Damon System is available in clear brackets for patients who want a great smile without sacrificing aesthetics.

Treatment Time

While the time needed in braces will vary from case to case, treatment time with the Damon System is typically much faster than with conventional braces. Also, far fewer appointments are required during treatment, making your Damon experience convenient and hassle-free.

Results

One of the best features of the Damon System is that is allows us to achieve gorgeous smiles and most often without the need to extract permanent teeth, use high force jaw expanders, or headgear!
