Damon non-ligating brace systems are modern designs for correcting bites and straightening teeth using the principle of passive self-ligation. The braces are equipped with a special patented design - Spin Tek locks, which hold the arch in the grooves of the plates, but do not interfere with its free movement. This significantly reduces friction in the system. Thus, the impact on the teeth is as gentle as possible. The movement of teeth occurs under the influence of minimal pressure, as well as due to the muscles of the face.
Damon bracket systems were developed by the American company Ormco, which is constantly improving its orthodontic structures. In English, the name of the orthodontic structure is written Damon System; in the Russian translation, the bracket system has several spellings: Damon, Damon, Daimon.
Benefits of Damon braces
The effectiveness of treatment, high-quality materials, wearing comfort, compact size and aesthetic appearance make Damon system braces one of the most popular designs for patients who turn to orthodontists to correct their bite and straighten their teeth.
Reducing treatment time compared to other designs is one of the main advantages of Damon braces. The first results of treatment will be noticeable within 2-3 months. With a small degree of curvature, six months is enough to completely eliminate the problem. Even with severe malocclusion and crooked teeth, it is necessary to wear braces from 12 to 18 months, 3-5 months less than other systems. Treatment time largely depends on the individual characteristics and age of the patient.
Aesthetic appearance . Miniature Damon ligature-free braces with unique arches are almost invisible, which sets them apart from other designs. Even braces made entirely of metal are compact in size and barely noticeable to others, while ceramic systems are completely transparent.
Comfortable treatment process . The Damon bracket system arch is held in the groove by a cover that does not put pressure on it. Due to this, the pressure on the dentition and friction during wearing are minimal, and accordingly, the treatment is more comfortable for the patient.
Possibility of choice . When contacting an orthodontist, the patient can choose a Damon system model in the price category that suits his case.
Quick adaptation to design . Special vertical lines in the middle of Damon bracket systems ensure quick and precise fixation of brackets. And the special shape, roundness and smoothness of the brackets can reduce the period of adaptation to braces after fixation, as well as eliminate trauma to the soft tissues of the oral cavity. It is also possible to change the fixation due to the presence of vertical and horizontal grooves.
Convenient and quick correction . The process of replacing arches during correction and removal of braces takes just 15-20 minutes and is absolutely painless. All thanks to modern Spin Tek locks. They are reliable, but easy to open if necessary.
Easy care . Since Damon braces do not have ligatures, and also due to their rounded shape, oral hygiene becomes easier and less tartar is deposited.
Also, the advantages of Damon system braces include: - Strength and durability of the structure. — A gentle physiological way to correct the bite. — Minimal risk of developing allergic reactions. — The ability to eat any food without fear of staining the braces. — No metal oxidation in the oral cavity. — Can be used even in patients with gum disease. — No need to remove healthy teeth before installing braces. — Can be used by adults and children over 12 years of age. — Easy to maintain and use. — Maintaining the treatment effect for life.
Damon system braces have been clinically proven to put less pressure on the gums and teeth than traditional orthodontic structures for correcting the bite and correcting the dentition. Accordingly, patients experience significantly less discomfort during the treatment process. The tissues are less injured, and, consequently, the risk of infection and the likelihood of tooth extraction are reduced. Periodontal tissue and bone tissue are restored faster.
With all the benefits, it is no wonder that Damon braces are among the most popular orthodontic systems in the world today. According to statistics, Damon system braces are installed in more than 50% of patients with malocclusion
Features of correction
The key element of the design is the arc. They are made from a metal alloy. They are given the shape of the correct dentition in advance. When the arc is fixed in the grooves, it immediately starts working. That is, it puts pressure on the teeth, shifting them in the desired direction. The arc activates processes in musculoskeletal tissue. In this way, it gradually straightens the teeth.
The passive self-ligation system does not have a strong effect, but activates natural processes in bone tissue and muscles. Therefore, orthodontists at the Propricus Clinic often recommend Dimon designs to patients. During the treatment period, no severe discomfort or pain is felt. The arch prevents the teeth from moving forward, holding them behind the lips. The crowded units gradually expand. This is exactly the effect that an orthodontist expects.
Models of Damon bracket systems
Damon system braces are available in several versions: transparent braces made of polycrystalline aluminum, metal and combined models with ceramic plates. But regardless of the material from which Damon braces are made, they are much lighter than non-ligated competitors and do not cause any discomfort when worn. Damon orthodontic arches are made of high-tech alloys. All designs are of high quality and efficiency, and the materials are absolutely safe.
Damon Q bracket systems
Model Damon Q (Damon Q) - miniature classic non-ligature all-metal structures. Advantages of the model: compactness, strength, accessibility, reduced size of locks. Additional grooves allow you to install hooks at any stage of treatment. Correction is possible in the most difficult cases. The SpinTek mechanism easily opens braces even in the presence of tartar.
Braces Damon 3
Damon 3 are combined braces that are not only effective and durable, but also highly aesthetic. The base of the structure is made of plastic reinforced with ceramics, the groove and lid are made of stainless steel. Due to ceramic inserts, braces are almost invisible. Advantages of the model: compactness, design and affordable price.
Damon 3 MX system
Damon 3 MX is a self-ligating steel bracket system with increased strength. The design has a rounded shape of the brackets, an improved arch fixation mechanism and a simple opening mechanism, ensuring a comfortable wearing process and convenient correction.
Damon Clear braces
The Damon Clear system is made from transparent polycrystalline aluminum. Due to the higher cost of materials and the complexity of production, the cost of the Damon Clear model, like many other aesthetic braces, is higher than that of metal structures. Thanks to the use of special processing technology, the system is securely fixed to the teeth, but can be easily removed for correction.
Damon clear 2 bracket system
Discreet and convenient, the Damon Clear 2 ceramic system is perhaps the most advanced malocclusion correction device. It is gentle on the teeth due to the free fixation of the arch. The braces themselves are small and rounded - thanks to this shape, wearing Damon clear 2 is much more comfortable than the previous generation of orthodontic systems. The Damon clear 2 bracket system is transparent and remains so throughout its entire service life. Does not stain from food and does not darken throughout its entire service life, even under the influence of coffee or wine.
Ormco products
For almost 40 years, the American company Ormco has been a leader in the dental services market. The reason for this demand is the impeccable quality of products, constant updating of the model range, and a wide range of various components. The production of the most successful models is associated with the American orthodontist Dwight Damon, which was the reason for the name of a number of the most famous systems. It was through the efforts of this company that a unique product was created on the orthodontic market, Damon Clear sapphire braces.
In the manufacture of models, not only ceramics are used, but also special metal alloys. In addition to the so popular MiniDiamond , other metal analogues, Damon Q braces . The manufacturer produces both ligature models, Diamond braces , and self-ligating ones.
Installation of Damon braces
Before installing any brace system, including Damon, it is necessary to sanitize the patient’s oral cavity, during which the orthodontist will determine the presence of possible concomitant diseases and contraindications, based on which he will draw up a plan for further treatment.
After eliminating the pathologies that prevent the installation of the brace system, X-rays and impressions are taken to make a model of the jaw, correctly select the power arch, and also to subsequently compare the treatment result with the initial condition.
In our work we also use photo protocol. This means that we will capture your teeth before treatment begins, possibly during treatment, and certainly after. This procedure is necessary so that you can clearly evaluate the result of the work. Patients wear braces for more than a year, during which time they forget what their teeth looked like at the beginning. And in the before-after photographs the changes are clearly visible - here it is, happiness from the great work done together!
The locks of the structure are fixed using a light-curing compound. Next, the doctor installs the power arc into special grooves and secures it with latches. The final stage of installing the bracket system will be to create the necessary arch tension necessary for the correction process.
During the treatment process, it will be necessary to visit the orthodontist to correct the tension of the power arc. You will need to come to her once every 1.5-2 months. Correction of Damon ligature-free braces takes only 15-20 minutes.

I want to say a huge thank you to the PROPRICUS clinic, as well as to the doctors of this wonderful clinic. My acquaintance began with orthodontists. Previously, I didn’t even know that such doctors existed, but after I met Nana Karenovna and Natalya Sergeevna, I realized that the impossible can be possible. Despite the fact that all my adult life I had crooked teeth and I didn’t really want to get braces, which don’t look very aesthetically pleasing, Nana Karenovna explained to me that there are such magical things as Invisalign aligners. And now, after two years, my smile has become beautiful, and now I can smile without embarrassment.

I have been receiving treatment at the PROPRICUS clinic for a long time. I thought that my case was completely hopeless and since childhood I have suffered and been tormented by the fact that I have crooked teeth. And it was just terrible. By chance, I came across Nana Karenovna on Instagram and initially I came to her for treatment when the PROPRICUS clinic did not yet exist. First of all, I liked her, and when you like a doctor, you are ready, of course, to trust him. My treatment to correct my bite lasted a little over two years. After my bite returned to normal, I needed to have aesthetics done. And the PROPRICUS clinic, represented by the wonderful orthopedist Nikolai Ivanovich Lavrenenko, also came to my aid. He made veneers on my front teeth and ceramic inlays on my old fillings. And now I still need to get an implant on one tooth and of course I will continue treatment at my favorite PROPRICUS clinic. Many thanks to the clinic and all my doctors. You are true professionals in your field. And if my friends or acquaintances need to do something, I will only recommend your clinic to them. Thanks a lot!
