Damon braces. Damon braces. What is the difference between Damon ligature braces


Healthy, beautiful and straight teeth
- an important component of the image successful person. That is why today people pay so much attention to the aesthetics of their smile, especially since using the huge arsenal of opportunities that modern dentistry has, it is not difficult to do this.

Damon braces: perfectly straight teeth


Damon braces
(in the Russian version "Damon" or "Daimon") are currently one of the most popular systems designed to align teeth.

Developed in the laboratories of the American company ORMCO, Damon devices allow you to solve the most complex orthodontic problems. Unique in its characteristics, produced on high-tech equipment, the Damon line has design features that distinguish it from the background of analogues. The fact is that it is based on the principle of passive ligation, due to which in Damon bracket systems the friction between the groove and the arc is minimal - much less than in traditional systems ah, - therefore, moving the teeth to an anatomically correct position is more comfortable for the patient. The design even allows rearward movement of the posterior teeth. In conventional braces, this is not possible - you have to use additional devices there.

Another difference of this orthodontic equipment is that for each tooth a separate version of brackets has been developed - the so-called prescription, and the doctor has the opportunity to choose a modification depending on the specific problem. The Damon bracket system allows for a truly individualized approach to treatment.

self-ligating system that is, it does not require the use of ligature elements that are needed for fastening classical structures. ORMCO experts have abandoned ligatures, as they not only slow down the treatment process, but are also inconvenient for patients. Therefore, for the "Diamon" was developed unique mechanism fasteners - SpinTek "cap", which is a special mechanism that:

securely holds the arc in the groove;
provides low level friction;
minimizes the feeling of tightness and pressure in the patient;
facilitates hygienic care of the system;
allows you to quickly and painlessly replace the archwires.

The innovative development of SpinTek made it possible to reduce the number of visits to the dental clinic and speed up the process. orthodontic treatment.


The self-ligating system uses its own universal archwires, which are made from a special material and can be used for both the upper and lower jaw. Design versatility in this case is an additional plus, because due to its features, the movement of teeth occurs due to interaction with the muscles of the face, and therefore the use of Damon System in treatment allows you to form a dentition that ideally matches the anatomy of the patient's maxillofacial zone.

Varieties of Damon orthodontic systems

The product line manufactured by ORMCO is constantly being improved and expanded. Today, the Cervantes clinic can offer the installation of any of the following Damon brand systems:

Damon 3MX

metal braces;

Damon Q

improved metal.

Damon 3

combined;

Damon Clear

ceramic bracket system;

What are the advantages of Damon braces compared to traditional systems:

Less discomfort and pain when wearing orthodontic equipment.
Due to the smoothness of the contours of the bracket system, rubbing of the mucous membranes of the cavity is practically excluded.

In a smaller number of cases, extraction of teeth during installation is required.

For the first time, Damon braces were talked about back in 1980, when ORMCO released the very first model of a lightweight innovative bracket, after which the whole world immediately started talking about “damons”. Quite a lot of time has passed since then, but Damon is still the most famous and sought after orthodontic system. The success of the company lies in the continuous improvement of their products. Over the years of its existence, ORMCO has released many effective and very aesthetic braces, but Damon Clear braces, or rather their second generation, Damon Clear 2, are considered the most advanced of them.

Damon Clear braces have incorporated all the advantages of ORMCO's early systems: they are self-ligating and, accordingly, more compact and comfortable to wear, and the treatment process with their help is much faster than with classical designs due to the self-adjusting force of tooth movement. However, the main distinguishing feature of Damon Clear is that they are almost invisible on the teeth, and are more like an expensive piece of jewelry than an orthodontic appliance. How did the manufacturers manage to achieve such high aesthetics? The fact is that in the design of Damon Clear - now we are talking about themselves latest version Damon Clear 2 - no metallic elements. The braces themselves, that part of them to which the archwire is attached, are completely made of a single crystal of artificially grown sapphire, which, unlike its natural counterpart, is transparent and has light shade, and upon contact with saliva, it becomes completely transparent and invisible. But exactly as long as the sapphire is in the shade - in the sun, Damon Clear braces begin to shimmer beautifully. In addition, artificial crystals are very durable and, due to special processing, adhere tightly to the tooth, do not chip and never stain with food throughout the entire treatment.

Installation of braces Damon Clear

Thanks to modern technologies, the installation of Damon Clear braces does not take much time from the patient and is quick and absolutely painless. Even before the patient arrives, the doctor places each bracket on a special template or a plaster model of the jaw, focusing on an individualized treatment regimen, which is called a “prescription” in the orthodontic industry. Then he covers each bracket with a composite material and instantly sets the locks on the patient's dentition - thus, all the locks are on the teeth at the same time, after which they are connected with white arches. Installing Damon Clear braces usually takes no more than half an hour.

Before starting treatment, it is also necessary to undergo a standard set of procedures - treat all carious cavities, transfer all inflammatory processes to the remission stage, and be sure to conduct professional oral hygiene.

Note! Before you put braces, you need to visit a hygienist for a “general cleaning” with teeth coated with a special transparent sealant that protects tooth enamel for the period of treatment. You can carry out these procedures in our Center, or in our direction in any dental institution in the city, according to your insurance programs.

Bracket system Damon Clear - treatment features

As mentioned earlier, Damon Clear braces are a self-ligating, self-adjusting design, distinctive feature which is lack of ligatures- rubber bands or wires that hold the orthodontic arch in the clasp of a classic bracket, which “clutter up” the system, make it more visible to others, cause inconvenience when wearing, and also slow down the process of moving teeth.

Important! Appointments with sapphire braces - once a month.

Damon Clear are arranged a little differently - the arc in them is attached to the bracket with a special transparent lock and slides freely inside the groove. This technology minimizes the friction force that occurs between the bracket and the wire during treatment, minimizes pressure on the teeth and, most importantly, speeds up the process of their movement by 20-25%, with a minimum of visits to the doctor. We recommend scheduling visits to the doctor no more than once a month.

Another indisputable advantage of the Damon Clear 2 bracket system is that it takes only a few minutes to replace their archwires, and the intervals between visits to a specialist are reduced to once a month. Plus, self-ligating braces are very easy to clean - the smoothly polished surface of the locks repels plaque, and there is practically no food residue left on them. Immediately after the start of treatment, you will be provided with a set of necessary accessories for caring for the bracket system (not included in the cost of the treatment case).

Price for Damon Clear braces in Moscow

The price of Damon Clear is from 93,000 to 107,000 rubles, depending on the number of teeth in need of correction. The cost of the case includes braces, the design itself, its installation and removal, all medical corrective manipulations for the entire period of treatment. In addition, the Damon Clear design allows them to be combined with other braces - for example, metal or ceramic braces. In these cases, sapphire Damon Clear is placed in the smile line on the front teeth, and on back teeth, invisible when smiling, install less aesthetic elements, such as metal. Treatment for such combined systems costs significantly less from 72 000 rubles, and the above permutations are not reflected in the aesthetics.

Important! We immediately tell the patient the exact cost of treatment, which, regardless of the circumstances, remains unchanged until the very end. The ligature has peeled off, the dollar exchange rate has changed, the period of wearing has increased, additional meetings with a specialist have been added - the price will not change from this.

Sincerely, Levin D.V., Chief Physician

Damon System braces are manufactured by Ormco, an American company founded in 1960. It is engaged in the production of orthodontic equipment and instruments, constantly improving its products. The brand itself owes its appearance to Dwight Damon, the creator of the passive ligation system, which has rapidly gained popularity among doctors and patients. This brand has been known on the market for 18 years, and the army of its fans is only growing.

Damon braces are a type of self-ligating systems. Instead of ligatures - rubber bands or metal wires connecting the locks to the arc - they use a special system of clamps with a flap. Experts consider Damon solutions to be more convenient and effective not only for classic ligature brackets, but also for many other self-ligating braces.

Damon's first self-ligating braces

Ormco is positioning Damon brackets as the first non-ligature orthodontic systems on the market. The truth of this statement is not easy to establish, but its unique features the brand's products certainly have.

In non-ligature braces Damon is used special kind latch in the form of a damper - SpinTek. This mechanism keeps the wire in the bracket slot, but does not block it, but allows it to move freely. So the friction force remains minimal, but the muscles of the patient's face are involved, and the bite is corrected more comfortably and gently. This is the principle of passive self-ligation.

The Damon bracket system has other features.

  • Due to the smooth movement of the teeth, traumatization of periodontal tissues is minimized.

  • The patient practically does not experience pain after installation and correction.

  • The Damon non-ligature bracket system uses wires made specifically for it, which increases the effectiveness of treatment and reduces its time.

  • Thanks to the SpinTek clamping system, changing wires takes a few minutes.

  • The Damon self-ligating system has a smaller bracket size than most other orthodontic solutions. And the diamond-shaped shape with rounded edges simplifies hygiene and looks neat on the teeth.

Damon braces: varieties

The Damon brand offers several solutions that differ in the material of manufacture, but retain the main principles of the brand - ease of installation and change of wires, soft bite correction and a neat appearance.

Types of Damon braces

  • The Damon Q metal bracket system is indicated for any malocclusion, including distal and mesial, as well as for dystopic teeth. In many cases, it avoids the preliminary removal of fours or sixes. Due to the strength of the material, Damon Q braces reduce the duration of treatment by 15 - 20%. The clasps of this system are small in size and have rounded edges, and the latch cover is easy to open for quick replacement of archwires.

  • Braces Damon 3MX are also made of hypoallergenic metal. Compared to basic model they received a more rounded shape, as well as a vertical groove for installing orthodontic hooks.

  • "Invisible" braces Damon Clear are positioned as sapphire, although they are made of polycrystalline aluminum - a transparent, but durable material. Sometimes they are called ceramic, as these staples merge with enamel and do not attract too much attention to themselves. The Damon Clear bracket system does not change its color after months of treatment and does not stain from tea, wine or coffee. As a rule, this variety is put on upper jaw, combined with Damon Q metal self-ligating braces.

  • Damon Clear 2 is a new generation of Damon aesthetic braces, which is currently undergoing certification in Russia. Damon Clear 2 brackets have an optimized slot shape for better archwire control.

  • Combined braces Damon 3 is made of plastic and ceramic, while the groove and lock are metal. In this way, two tasks are solved simultaneously: the aesthetics and durability of the system are preserved.

Installation of Damon braces

Fixation of Damon brand staples runs along standard scheme, but thanks to a convenient flap, the orthodontic arch connects to the braces in a matter of minutes. In total, the installation of the system takes no more than 40 minutes.

The doctor etches the enamel at the place where the locks are attached, cleans and dries the surface, and then glues each bracket to the front surface of the tooth in turn. The glue hardens under the influence of ultraviolet light, after which its residues are removed. When all the locks are in place, the arc is inserted into the grooves and snaps into place.

How is Damon braces treated?

The non-removable design provides constant pressure on the teeth, slowly and smoothly moving them to the desired position. The main role in this process is played by orthodontic archwires. After installing the Damon bracket system, they take an irregular shape, repeating the abnormal position of the teeth, but gradually tend to return to their original position and thus correct the defect.

It would be a mistake to think that staples without ligatures "heal themselves." In order for the bite to be corrected in due time, the system must be activated regularly, and for this the patient will have to visit the orthodontist to install new wires. How often do the wires on Damon braces change? At the beginning of treatment, approximately once every 6 to 8 weeks, and closer to the end, the doctor will determine the frequency of visits according to indications.

Experts note that Damon self-ligating braces allow you to do without the installation of additional elements to correct serious malocclusion. Through work facial muscles teeth take the desired position smoothly and physiologically, therefore, in most cases, elastic bands and other inconvenient mechanisms will not be needed. The same can be said about the preliminary extraction of teeth: with Ormco products, this can often be avoided.

Finally, American Damon braces reduce treatment time compared to many others, especially classic ones. ligature systems. You can see the first results after a month.

How much do Damon System braces cost?

Price orthodontic systems Damon varies by type. So, Damon Q and Damon 3MX metal braces will cost approximately 150,000 for both jaws, and the installation of Damon Clear ceramic braces can reach 240,000 rubles. It is possible to reduce the cost of treatment and maintain aesthetics through a combination of ceramics and metal.

Good day, dear readers. In our time, orthodontics has achieved considerable success in the field of correction of malocclusion. And I want to touch on such a topic as self-ligating braces, used just for this purpose. Now they are offered in almost any decent dental clinic.

What is this type

For most ordinary people in this term, only the word braces is understandable. But to clarify what it is, it does not hurt. In a nutshell, self-ligating brackets are called those braces in which there are no ligatures. That is, it is the exact opposite of any standard model. A ligature is a small wire with which the arches are fixed. Thanks to a new approach, the developers of this system have managed to reduce the friction of the archwire in the bracket groove.

Self-ligating braces - pros and cons

The pluses include the fact that the arc in such a design can move freely. What does it give the patient? There is no strong resistance, which means that the teeth move more easily. Physiologically, this is expressed in the absence of pain in the first days / weeks of wearing.

Another advantage visible to the patient himself is a reduction in the correction time by 20-25%. After two or three months, the first results of the work are noticeable. Less often you have to come to the correction. And the time that you have to spend in the office of a specialist is significantly reduced. This is due to the fact that the arc is replaced much faster.

The fewer elements, the simpler the design, as we all understand, it is easier to correct it.

Self-ligating braces - photo

According to experts in the field of orthodontic treatment, it is self-ligating braces that allow teeth to move in the most natural way for physiology. This process is not so painful and traumatic, since the extraction of teeth is not required, even with crowding. Until recently, this was not possible.

If models with good aesthetic performance are used, then such systems are almost invisible. The patient does not experience psychological discomfort due to the wearing of corrective means.

Non-ligature models can be used with special type arcs. It has a smaller diameter, which gives a significant increase in efficiency. The use of braces without ligatures, thanks to the use of weak forces, allows you to effectively stimulate the tissues that surround the displaced teeth. In this case, there is no damage to the vessels that provide blood supply to the teeth and periodontium. Also, injuries of the mucous cheeks and lips are reduced. Therefore, less is happening in the patient's mouth inflammatory processes. The percentage of complications when using self-ligating braces is minimal.

Simplifies the process hygiene care behind the oral cavity and the structure itself. As a result, there is a lower risk of developing caries and other diseases.

Such a system has only one minus - due to its complexity, production becomes more expensive, therefore, the installation price becomes higher. They are noticeably more expensive than conventional ligature models.

Popular types of non-ligature braces

One of the most common systems is Damon 3. They consist of a combination of metal, ceramics and composite material. The latch mechanism that holds the arc is very simple, but at the same time reliable. The edges are smoothed, so the patient does not experience any discomfort while wearing. The specificity of the structure of the bracket is such that it provides reliable fixation.

smart clip. Known for their proprietary latch mechanism that holds the archwire with controlled force. Relatively inexpensive model with high efficiency.

The third type is called Clarity SL. Apart from high efficiency, has a pronounced aesthetic function. Braces can look pretty and not ruin your smile! They use a special Flash-Free system that protects tooth enamel during the correction procedure. Provides good adhesion to the tooth and safe peeling off after occlusion alignment is complete.

Non-ligature braces are divided according to the type of material used:

  • metal (Damon Q, Damon 3MX, Smart Clip, In-Ovation);
  • ceramic/partial ceramic (Clarity SL, Damon 3 (ORMCO), In-Ovation C).
  • Damon Clear - sapphire.

Self-ligating Incognito are available. They provide the invisibility of the correctional system. You can eat, smile, interact with people without worrying about attracting too much attention to yourself. In addition, they are compact and do not change diction like many other lingual () models.

Installation procedure

First of all, your teeth are checked. Apart from visual inspection, pictures are required. Also experienced professionals send the patient for a general examination and tests that will show the hormonal background. In some cases, if it is required for the freedom of movement of teeth in the dentition, some teeth may be removed.

Further, on the basis of the obtained images, a bracket system is created. It is made individually for each client. Self-ligating braces are glued to the teeth with a special adhesive. It does not hurt. The only thing you will feel slight discomfort when installing the arc. Because she creates mechanical pressure causing the teeth to move. The installation procedure is fast (faster than using ligatures). For some people, the teeth may hurt after the installation. The pain usually goes away on its own after a few days/weeks.

After the procedure is completed, the doctor will tell you about what care is required, what food restrictions are. For example, viscous sweets and hard foods like crackers will have to be abandoned. Likewise with nuts. Nothing to chew on just yet.

Rates

The first thing most patients ask is the price. I thought you might be interested to know how much a beautiful smile costs these days.

So, let's start with metal systems:

  1. The cheapest was Victory. For Muscovites, its cost is 110,000 rubles ($1,700).
  2. Damon Q braces are asking for 115,000 rubles ($1,775).
  3. Slightly more expensive than Smart Clip - 120 thousand rubles (1852 dollars).
  4. The most expensive were Damon 3 MX. They ask for 160 thousand rubles for them. ($2470).

Ceramic will cost an average of 130-170 thousand rubles, and sapphire Damon Clear - at least 160 thousand. Again, it depends on the city, clinic, etc. I quoted Moscow prices, but somewhere in the center of the country you can save a little. The only question is how well the doctors will do their job.

  • Damon Q;
  • Lotus;
  • Agility
  • Empower.

Such braces cost an average of 11,000 hryvnias ($440-450). Self-ligating braces ceramic non-ligature systems Clarion and Empower - from 14 thousand hryvnias (563 USD).

Self-ligating braces - patient opinions

Talking about such an interesting product, I could not omit the most important thing - the opinion of the people. Fortunately, there are reviews on the Internet about self-ligating braces. The first to come across was a comment from a girl who experienced it herself. Perhaps these are the most beautiful means bite correction on the market dental services in the CIS. They look cool, almost invisible.

The first thing the patient notes is less hassle. The traction is self-adjusting, that is, you do not need to constantly tighten the system. As a result, a visit to the orthodontist is required approximately once every one and a half to two months. Second important point- no one will stare at you, you just have to open your mouth. Psychologically, it is much easier to tolerate treatment. The third plus is that the time of the treatment itself is reduced. For most people, this is an important factor.

If there were problems with the temporomandibular joint due to malocclusion, then (in any case, this was the case with the author of the review) there will be much less of them.

Now for the cons. You have to get used to eating with braces on. It's difficult at first. Plus, your food is clogged, like a hamster, behind your cheeks. It is impossible to eat rough food. It's a little hard to learn how to talk until you get used to having braces on. There is pain, but within a week the body gets used to it and the changes do not cause such tangible discomfort. Intensity and strength pain depends on anatomical features and pain threshold specific person.

I have a friend who wears this type of braces for a year and a half. He doesn't complain, everything suits him. The fact that she has braces, I noticed only after six months of communication. So there is nothing terrible in terms of aesthetics.

I wish you a beautiful smile and good mood. Waiting for comments on the article!

Video - Self-ligating braces for bite correction in dentistry

Orthopedic braces Damon q are a mini-design that, despite its small size, successfully copes with the correction serious pathologies bite. The system is self-ligating (non-ligating), which determines its following advantages:

  • There is no friction on the ligatures acting in opposite side from the corrective force, and reducing its value. Without a ligature, the correction is faster.
  • The design is not as bulky as ligature braces.
  • The minimum number of corrections (no ligature - nothing to stretch and correct) reduces the cost of treatment at the orthodontist. So, you need to visit a doctor no more than once every 2-3 months.

Daimon q braces - arguments in favor of installation

If the above advantages can be in varying degrees attributed to any self-ligating braces, then the damon q bracket system also has its own unique advantages.


whose is that the arc, threaded through the clips of the locks, is not fixed by them, but can move freely. It turns out that in those places where the tooth protrudes from the row, a greatest strength, forcing him to return "to his place."
This intelligent approach to bite correction is revolutionary, and its results can be seen literally 3-4 weeks after installation. one of the popular types of passive systems is damon 3mx q braces. With their help, hundreds of ROOTT patients have acquired a perfect smile.

The creators of damon q bracket systems have taken care of the possibility of effectively correcting the bite in patients of a wide age range. The materials that make up the structure do not oxidize, are hypoallergenic and safe for health. This makes it possible to carry out orthodontic treatment even for young patients, starting from the age of 11. Daimon q braces are no less "useful" for adult patients - in the process of wearing them, the condition of periodontal tissues clearly improves.

Installation of Damon Q braces in ROOTT clinics

By inviting for treatment with high-tech braces, we guarantee our patients maximum comfort and painlessness. The installation of the corrective system occurs quickly, after which visits to the doctor will be needed only after 2-3 months. This format of orthodontic treatment has become convenient not only for patients from the capital, but also for those who come to Moscow from the regions from time to time, while having time to see the orthodontist and make sure that the treatment is progressing according to the plan.

The bracket correction algorithm is as follows:

  • The patient is examined to collect information about the direction of root growth, the quality of the tissues surrounding the tooth, etc. - all this can significantly affect the choice of correction system.
  • Training oral cavity It consists in eliminating all problems with teeth, treating caries, and conducting professional cleaning.
  • Installation of braces.
  • Periodic follow-up with the orthodontist.
  • Removal of braces and installation of a retainer (an externally invisible device on inside teeth, which will fix the result).

Daimon braces: the best among the best?

"Stars" among orthodontic constructions are Damon braces. It is believed that they are more convenient than other systems, speed up the treatment process and make it painless. Is it true? Which of the information about Daimon braces is true, and which is just a marketing coup?

Dimon: braces with a good image

Successful advertising more than compensates for possible shortcomings of the product: after installing the “best” braces, a person is sure that wearing any other orthodontic construction would bring even more inconvenience. For the manufacturer, the main thing is to sell. What should be promised to a gullible patient so that he prefers Daimon braces?

Damon self-ligating braces are one of the most popular orthodontic designs. She copes with her main task - correcting the bite. But do not expect miracles from these braces: their use can not only make a beautiful smile, but also turn a certain period of life into its worst time.

Braces Damon Clear

These are the most perfect braces from the Daimon series in terms of aesthetics. They are transparent because they are completely made of polycrystalline ceramics. It is very difficult to ensure the absence of any metal inserts in terms of production, which is why Damon Clear is more expensive than other braces in this series - up to 50 thousand rubles. for one jaw.

A high level of aesthetics requires not only a significant financial investment, but also a willingness to frequently change or repair braces: the lack of metal in the design makes it very fragile. It should be understood that the repair will entail additional costs, more frequent visits to the orthodontist and an increase in the duration of treatment by 4-5 months. compared to the scheduled time.

Damon Clear braces are suitable for patients for whom the issue of aesthetics comes first. The exception is smokers with a craving for beauty: nicotine resins provoke pigmentation and darkening of the braces.

If connoisseurs of "invisibility" fell in love with Damon Clear, then Damon Q won the hearts of those who prefer reliability and comfort in the first place.

Damon Q is made from medical grade stainless steel, which makes it very durable. In appearance, they significantly outperform conventional metal braces due to their relative compactness and sophisticated design. In addition, Damon Q deserved great amount positive feedback from orthodontists: the design of these braces allows them to be installed in the most difficult cases, when very precise fixation is required.

The cost of Damon Q starts from 15 thousand rubles. for one jaw. As practice shows, due to the successful combination between price and quality, these braces are mostly preferred by patients.

Braces Damon 3

This is a slightly outdated version of daimon braces. The structure is made of metal and ceramic-reinforced plastic. The use of such materials makes the braces translucent and less visible compared to Damon Q. On the other hand, the resulting design is also more fragile.

The main advantage of Damon 3 is their immunity to external factors: the material does not change color and is not erased. As in the rest of the Daimon models, the smoothed contours of the design and the absence of an overabundance of various details make it relatively comfortable to wear.


The main problem with Damon 3 braces is the difficulty of opening them on the front teeth of the lower jaw. Such a "nuisance" is relevant for patients whose saliva is oversaturated with minerals. In other cases, such braces are a fairly good option: they can serve as a compromise when choosing between aesthetics and reliability.

The price for Damon 3 is the same as for Damon Q - from 15 thousand rubles. for one jaw.

Daimon braces - a good option to correct an overbite. But it is important to be aware that the success or failure of treatment depends not so much on the chosen orthodontic design, but on the patience and diligence of the patient. If a person fulfills all medical recommendations, then an even smile is guaranteed to him.

System Features

If we compare daimon braces with traditional systems, then the feature of the former is the non-ligature use. The arc is attached with clips. The alignment process is passive and less painful for the patient.

Daimon is able to move the lateral incisors to the correct position. This cannot be done by the traditional system.

The self-adjustment of the system allows the orthodontist to adjust the position of the brackets. Therefore, the alignment performance is guaranteed. Moreover, it will take much less time than in the traditional case.

Design

The diamond braces system uses only individual archwires that have been specially created for it. The composition of the arcs is special, the design is universal. The shape, size are the same and do not differ for the bottom and top of the jaw.

The undoubted advantage of the application is that, despite such similarity, you can still create the desired (not the same) shape of the teeth. Interaction occurs everywhere: with the tongue, lips and cheeks.

Diamond braces expand the dentition so well that they simply do not need other (additional) structures.

Varieties of systems

Corrective braces daemon have been constantly improved. Therefore, over time, several modified species have appeared:

Brackets Daimon 3MH (Damon-3MH)

The very first metal braces. They showed themselves well. But with the advent of other varieties, this system is gradually abandoned.

Braces Daimon 2 (Damon-2)

These are individual systems and they are made separately for each. The result that is obtained after wearing them is quite good. But there is a drawback: not all companies make braces, the delivery time for such systems is quite long (about three months). It turns out that the treatment itself is delayed for a very long and undesirable time.

Braces Daimon 3 (Damon-3)

One of the old systems. The design consists of ceramoplastics and metal. As a result of the use of ceramics, the braces have a translucent and less visible appearance. Advantages of Damon-3:

  • the material used is not erased from time to time;
  • the material does not change color;
  • the contours of the structure are rounded;
  • there are no “extra” details, so the systems are more comfortable to wear;
  • the design is practically not susceptible to external destructive factors.

Disadvantage of this generation:

  • fragility;
  • difficulty opening in the anterior mandible.

These braces look smaller than usual due to the transparent material. The third generation has revolutionized medical technology braces. Them transparent material and stainless steel gently move teeth.

Prices for Damon-3 start at 15,000 rubles.

Daimon clear braces (Clear)

Damon clear self-adjusting braces are aesthetically perfect. They have a transparent appearance due to the material used (polycrystalline ceramic). The production of such complex systems is very labor intensive. Need to achieve total absence metal inserts. Accordingly, the price of the design is quite high (up to 50,000 rubles per jaw).


In addition to financial investments, it will be necessary to regularly repair and change the design. The lack of a solid bond (namely metal) makes damon clear ceramic braces too brittle.

Damon clear self-adjusting braces are best used by those categories of people for whom aesthetics is paramount. Smokers should avoid setting up or quitting the habit. Nicotine can cause darkening and pigmentation of the material.

Damon q clear braces do not affect speech. As a result, their socks rarely relapse.

Braces Daimon Q (Damon-Q)

If damon clear braces are loved by patients who value invisibility, damon q braces are preferred by those who consider comfort and durability to be paramount.

Devices are made of stainless steel medical purpose. Therefore, damon q metal braces are strong enough.

Most patients choose self-adjusting damon q braces for good reason. These designs have a lot to offer. They are durable, compact and have a sophisticated design.

Among orthodontists, the damon q bracket system has also gained respect. Their special design allows you to install fixtures in the most difficult, individual, advanced cases when precise fixation is paramount.

The described Damon braces cost from 15,000 rubles. If we compare them in terms of price and reliability with ceramic bracket damon clear system, the first ones are definitely better.

Advantages

Ligatureless damon braces have the following positive aspects:

  1. Damon ceramic braces allow you to straighten your teeth without extraction. The traditional method lacks this merit. The fact of tooth extraction is still individual. There are cases that visible problems they just require it. There is a catastrophic lack of space in the human jaw for the installation of such structures. However, this happens on very rare occasions.
  2. The system does not require the installation of additional structures.
  3. Damon self-adjusting braces will take less time (only once every 10 weeks) than traditional systems (number of rooms: once every 4 weeks). This advantage concerns not only the number of visits, but also the time spent in the doctor's chair. With a traditional installation, you need to put on the braces a rubber band designed for this purpose. This time.

Vladimir, 32 years old, Voronezh

I wore braces for a year and a half. At 28, I had (and still have) a good figure, I also wanted straight teeth. I read a lot. As a result, the choice was made. The doctor installed the damon system for me. I wouldn't say it was overpriced. But still ... 44,000 rubles. it total price for two jaws. I did not experience the pain that many suffer. But my gums were bleeding. For some reason, plaque quickly accumulated on the teeth, and brushing your teeth was problematic. I decided to purchase an irrigator and my problems were solved. I don't regret choosing damon in the least.

Alexandra, 20 years old, Samara

My teeth are naturally not very straight. As a girl, of course, I wanted to fix this. However, I was afraid. I made up my mind at the age of 17. The doctors advised Damon. It's really good and perspective system. My parents paid for the treatment and now, a year and a half later, I have desired smile. But my teeth hurt badly. I even took pills. Helped well. But I will say it was worth it. After about three months, I noticed pleasant changes.

Nadezhda, 25 years old, Perm

My teeth were healthy, but crooked. I did not really want to spoil them with additional braces. Therefore, I decided to install clear ceramic systems. I liked their look. In the light, the locks looked like an interesting decoration. The invisible ones were invisible. And they were easy for me to take care of. Now I have healthy, straight and enviable teeth.

Veronica, 27 years old, Moscow

It's good that in dentistry there are such perfect systems as daimon. I wear them for six months and am satisfied. The installation process was not long. The orthodontist told about all the nuances of the system. I understood everything and I especially liked little time socks compared to other systems (for example, my friend wore braces for 2.5 years). They looked very aesthetically pleasing and were hardly noticeable during conversation. I won't say what I experienced severe pain. Everything was bearable. I still have 4 months to go with the system and my teeth will be perfect. Thanks to the doctor-inventor and my doctor-orthodontist.

Damon Q features

Among other braces, Damon Q is distinguished primarily by the absence of a ligature. The elements are attached to a wire arc made of elastic metal not with rubber bands and hooks, but with the help of existing grooves. They have 4 surfaces and an optimal depth for every orthodontic treatment. The archwire moves freely in the slots, which provides gentler pressure on the teeth than with other brackets.

Metal locks are firmly connected to each other, friction when interacting with the arc is minimal. All this affects the correction of the position of the organs in the best way.

The price for the pleasure of smiling beautifully is from 45,000 rubles for the upper row of teeth. It is worth considering that among the Damon designs there are also more expensive ones, not to mention other brands. But with Damon Q you can save on a visit dental clinic, since you will have to go there no more than once every 2-3 months.

Advantages of Damon Q over other braces

They force specialists to convince their patients to choose Damon Q braces to correct crooked teeth:

How Damon Q braces work

These are vestibular braces, so they are fixed on outside teeth.

Installation consists of several stages:

  • Preparation of the oral cavity for wearing the bracket system. It includes treatment carious teeth getting rid of plaque and stone;
  • Diamond shaped braces Damon Q attached to each tooth special glue. The orthodontist makes sure that the vertical line exactly matches the center of the organ;
  • An archwire is inserted into the grooves and fixed with a Sprin Tek lock on each bracket.

Then the system starts. To understand how this happens, it is worth knowing that the teeth, despite their strong position in the tissues, have the ability to move in a given direction. Initially, this occurs during their eruption. But the wrong position relative to other teeth can be corrected, thanks to their ability. The gentle but steady impact of Damon Q provides pressure on them exactly at the points where it is necessary for straightening. The socket is stretched in the direction of tooth movement. At the same time, its other side forms bone tissue and overgrows, not allowing the organ to take its former unsuitable place.

The first bow used in Damon Q is the softest of all. When the teeth take a position in which she is no longer able to move them further, put a new wire base, tighter. Muscles are involved in the restoration of the bite to a greater extent. It aligns the dentition naturally which ensures the stability of the result. At the same time, the periodontium is not injured, the load is distributed in such a way that the necessary parts of the organs experience its greatest value.

Thanks to the features of the Damon Q bracket system, its strength is not wasted on holding the locks in the ligament, but is distributed to the teeth in the best possible way for their alignment. This makes treatment with Damon Q shorter by at least six months than with other structures of this kind. And also allows you to eliminate severe orthodontic errors of nature, even in adulthood. The results of this bite correction are more permanent and sometimes do not require the subsequent wearing of a retainer.

Patient reviews about Damon Q braces

Larisa

I decided to straighten my teeth only at the age of 32. Naturally, everything happens more slowly for me than in adolescence. The dentist advised the Damon Q bracket system. He said that in my case this is the best of everything possible. I was embarrassed that the locks would be visible to everyone. But this was not the main difficulty. It’s bad that, despite the assurances of advertising, my jaws began to whine mercilessly, and I ate only liquid food. But pleasant and very noticeable changes occurred in the first months. Then the arches were changed, the teeth moved in the right direction, but it seemed to me that this was not so pronounced. Despite doubts, after a year and a half, the bite was corrected. One detail that I was not warned about was the deterioration of the enamel. After removal, the teeth are polished, cleaning from glue. The enamel has become somewhat rough, now it will have to be restored.

Ivan

Everyone noticed my uneven teeth only when I put on Damon Q braces. Actually, I decided on this not for the sake of beauty, but out of fright. The doctor said that with my malocclusion(progenia) by the age of 40, I may be left without half my teeth. I had to get rid of 2 in the bottom row, otherwise nothing. When they put the braces, it was hard. Irritated by their presence, they rubbed the mucosa. But the teeth straightened, even the one that was almost horizontal. It took 2 years for everything.

Maria

I was interested in the topic of braces and realized that with my Damon Q I have in general the same troubles that people with other systems. it pain, speech disorders, trouble with brushing teeth. For example, when professional processing special paste the doctor could not then properly remove it from under the tiny braces, and my orthodontist had to peel it off and put on a new one. But there are also advantages: you do not need to go to the dentist often, and the result is obvious after 8 months. The teeth are noticeably aligned, and the treatment is still ongoing. So by the end of it, my smile will be perfect.
