Aesthetic braces Dimon Clear, patient reviews

The importance of a beautiful smile cannot be overestimated. Self-confidence, self-esteem, the success of social contacts, happiness in your personal life and many other aspects largely depend on it. Let's take a closer look at the Daimon Q and Daimon Clear braces.

Self-ligating braces from ORMCO (USA)

Self-ligating DAMON braces, unlike other non-ligating braces, have a relatively small size, unpronounced wings and the absence of hooks, which allows the patient to quickly get used to this brace system. All DAMON system braces have a high-quality lock that very rarely breaks.

Ligature-free braces DAMON-3 combine the advantages of aesthetic braces with the presence of a metal lock, which ensures the softest gliding. The main platform of DAMON-3 braces is made of ceramic, which makes these braces almost invisible on the tooth enamel. A metal lock makes it possible to use weak forces at the stages of orthodontic treatment.

The cost of DAMON-3 braces averages 17,000-28,000 per row of teeth.

DAMON-3 MX braces are metal self-ligating braces. They have a high-quality lock and a convenient design for moving teeth.

The cost of DAMON-3 braces averages 13,000-25,000 per row of teeth.

Self-ligating braces DAMON Q. Metal braces with a thin profile and small size, allowing patients to quickly get used to this system. These braces also feature dual accessory slots for a new treatment option.

Ceramic braces from ORMCO (USA)

Aesthetic braces DAMON CLEAR . They combine the advantages of aesthetic braces (they are not visible when you smile) with the presence of a lock that provides passive self-ligation. DAMON CLEAR braces are made from durable polycrystalline aluminum oxide (PCA) that is resistant to discoloration and staining. DAMON CLEAR braces can be conveniently combined with non-ligature metal braces of the DAMON system; for this purpose, DAMON CLEAR is installed on the central teeth, and DAMON metal braces are installed on the distant teeth. This allows the patient to save money without losing quality.

, Damon Clear braces are more relevant than ever . There is no need to be afraid - they have long moved away from the usual frightening “Soviet” appearance. Modern options are lighter, more comfortable, stylish and discreet.

How do braces work on teeth?

The essence of correcting malocclusions is the displacement of teeth in a given direction under the constant influence of mechanical pressure. This pressure during the correction process is provided by an orthodontic brace system. Bracket pads are fixed to the surface of the tooth enamel. A power arc is attached to them in special grooves, bent in a certain position. Thanks to the so-called “shape memory,” the arc tends to straighten. And since it is attached to the teeth, it carries them along in this movement. Thus, the dental units move along a precisely calculated trajectory to a new location.

What are the indications and contraindications for Damon?

The Damon system is recommended for patients with the following diagnoses and conditions:

• uneven bite;
• interdental gaps;
• crowded dentition;
• introduction of unerupted teeth into the dentition;
• dystopia (the position of one tooth when it is tilted or turned in a different direction than all the other teeth in the row);
• excessive development of one jaw in relation to the other.

Damon braces are able to cope with a problem of any level of complexity - in terms of their effectiveness, they are in no way inferior to their ligature counterparts. Damon is also installed at the preparatory stage of prosthetics and during body movement of crowns.

This technology has only two contraindications: it cannot be used on teeth with too many fillings - but orthodontists encounter this situation extremely rarely - and it is not suitable for patients diagnosed with serious somatic diseases (malignant tumors, tuberculosis, inflammation in the oral cavity , circulatory system disorders).

ATTENTION:

Gum diseases are not a contraindication for installing the Damon system. The only problem for which the orthodontist will advise postponing bite correction is acute periodontitis. But classic ligature systems cannot always be used for sore gums.

Features and benefits of the Damon Clear braces system

Damon Clear braces are manufactured by the American corporation Ormco.
It also has a representative office in Russia. The products are a non-removable, non-ligature ceramic structure. It must be worn 24 hours a day throughout the course of corrective therapy. The absence of ligatures implies fastening the archwire to the bracket pads using miniature clip-locks. The arch moves freely in the bracket grooves, so ligation (adjustment) of the system occurs naturally. What are the features and advantages of Damon Clear:

• made of ceramic hypoallergenic alloy (polycrystalline aluminum). The translucent material is practically invisible on the enamel surface and is not susceptible to staining with food coloring. This provides visual aesthetics. This is also facilitated by the miniature size of the product;
• The base of the bracket has an anatomical shape and is laser processed using patented technology. Thanks to this, the bracket pads fit perfectly to the tooth, which ensures reliable fixation and the absence of the possibility of pathogenic microflora penetrating under the braces;
• The pressure that the Damon Clear system exerts on the dentition is more gentle than in ligature structures. The movement of teeth occurs more physiologically. The absence of ligatures and the rounded, polished shapes of the design make hygienic care less complicated and visits to the doctor less frequent.

Expert opinion: The Damon Clear brand is well-deservedly popular among orthodontists and their patients. The system has proven its efficiency and visual aesthetics.

Why patients love Damon technology so much

The stability of positive patient reviews is that:

1. Damon braces are suitable even for those whose teeth are too small and whose gums are too low to receive conventional braces. This system is approved for use by almost all patients over 12 years of age, even if the mucous membrane of their mouth is highly sensitive. Sometimes, at the discretion of the orthodontist, Damon braces are installed on children over the age of 9 years.
2. Installation does not require facial or palatal arches, expanders or other extraneous devices. This greatly simplifies and speeds up the orthodontist’s work process. In addition, an undesirable psychological factor is removed - after all, unnecessary devices cause anxiety, depression and even hypochondria for many.
3. After installing Damon braces, the percentage of patients who complain of discomfort or pain is very low. Blood vessels are not compressed, blood circulation in the oral cavity is not impaired. For comparison, patients with conventional ligature braces have to put up with pain for several weeks; many are prescribed painkillers.
4. A visit to the clinic should be scheduled on average once every 1.5 months, and, depending on the progress of treatment, this interval may increase to once every 3 months. This schedule is extremely convenient for both the patient and the orthodontist. For comparison: patients with ligature braces are required to visit the clinic strictly once a month.
5. A visit to a specialist lasts on average 15 minutes, while patients with ligature braces have to spend an hour in the orthodontist’s office. Thanks for this we must say to the Spin Tek latch - its locks open so quickly that replacing the arc occurs in the shortest possible time.

Among the negative aspects of Damon technology, patients usually mention only the price. But, firstly, it fully justifies the quality of the service, and secondly, the brand’s assortment includes a large selection of both more budget and more premium systems, so customers are given a large choice.

ATTENTION:

Rumor has it that Damon's technology does not involve tooth extraction. Alas, this is a myth: if the client has severe crowding of teeth, then it will not be possible to do without extraction. Otherwise, there may be a risk of bone atrophy and other unpleasant consequences. However, you really have to resort to removal less often than when installing standard ligature models.

Correction algorithm

The process of correcting occlusion consists of several stages:

• identification of indications and contraindications;
• carrying out visual and hardware diagnostics (radiography and orthopantomography of the jaws);
• sanitizing the patient's oral cavity;
• installation of braces;
• wearing a brace system with periodic visits to the attending orthodontist to replace the power arch;
• removal of orthodontic apparatus;
• wearing a retention device.

Important: the duration of therapy and retention is determined by the specialist individually in each specific case. Only a doctor can determine the condition of the dentofacial apparatus at one time or another. Failure to follow the doctor’s recommendations can negate all the efforts expended.

Vestibular and lingual apparatus

Orthodontists install braces in the oral cavity in two ways: on the vestibular (visible) and lingual (in contact with the tongue) side of the dentition. With the lingual type of fixation, aesthetic indicators are higher, but the period of adaptation to internal braces is more difficult. Patients with lingual devices do not experience psychological discomfort: the devices are almost invisible to others. The cost of invisible structures is higher compared to traditional vestibular systems.

How to minimize the difficulties of the adaptation period

As a rule, adaptation after fixing braces is inevitable.
Some people get used to wearing orthodontic appliances faster, others slower. It all depends on the patient’s individual sensitivity threshold. The Damon Clear bracket system is distinguished by its miniature and smooth shape, but even after fixing it, it will take some time to get used to. What doctors advise to smooth out the discomfort of the first days of wearing braces:

• treat the system parts with special wax, which is sold at the pharmacy;
• force yourself not to touch the braces with your tongue by an effort of will;
• For the first time (at least a week), finely chop or puree all food until it becomes pureed. Do not eat hard foods that require thorough chewing;
• if there is pain, take over-the-counter painkillers;
• In the first week, do not overload yourself with heavy physical activity. Light workouts, walking, walks are welcome;
• you need to remember that soon the condition will return to normal, the discomfort will disappear, and diction will be restored.

They will correct bite pathologies longer than metal ones.

In principle, all ceramic braces have this drawback, but especially all-ceramic ones. The fact is that aluminum oxide, from which the elements of the Damon Clear model are composed, improves the sliding of the arc in the grooves, which means it will slip under pressure. Therefore, treatment will last longer than with metal devices, on average 1-3 months. It is better to take this fact into account before correcting your bite. Especially for people who do not want to wear devices for a long time. However, those who decide to install them will be glad that during the correction period and after treatment they will have a beautiful smile, like the patients in the photo below.

These braces are very aesthetic

To reduce treatment time, the manufacturer suggests combining all-ceramic braces with metal ones: put Damon Clear on the front teeth in the smile area, and Damon Q on the premolars.

“Girls, Daimon put on braces solely for aesthetic reasons, and only on the upper jaw. In this regard, they completely justify themselves!!! From a distance they are almost invisible even though they have a metal arc in them. Before this, I already had metal braces installed on my lower jaw, and absolutely everyone noticed them. But, after a year and a half of correction, Daimon did not produce results for some teeth, so the doctor suggested re-gluing metal ones on top, which are much more effective. What I want to say is: think before you make a choice. It just seems like aesthetics is very important, but when you wear them for several years, you realize that functionality is more important.”

Lesia, fragment of review from irecommend.ru

Ormco representatives admit that the model has another minor drawback - it is relatively fragile, especially in the area of ​​the lock cover into which the orthodontic arch is inserted. True, here experts tried to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns as much as possible by strengthening the structure with the SpinTek mechanism. This mechanism allows the doctor to effortlessly open and close the lock cover.

How to care for teeth and braces during treatment

To prevent teeth from being subjected to a massive attack of caries during therapy, the oral cavity must be carefully cared for.
Orthodontists' recommendations:

• mandatory brushing of teeth and braces twice a day;
• After eating, the oral cavity also needs to be cleaned. If you don’t have a toothbrush and toothpaste at hand, you should rinse your mouth;
• During the procedure, it is necessary to use special brushes and brushes, as well as dental floss. If possible, you should purchase an irrigator. With its help you can clean even the most difficult to reach areas of the oral cavity. The operation of the device is based on the supply of a jet of water under pressure, this allows you to wash away food debris and plaque where a regular brush cannot reach;
• Once every six months, it is recommended to have a professional cleaning at a dental clinic. This will protect your teeth from carious destruction.

Damon product lines

Depending on their design and materials of manufacture, Ormco products are divided into the following categories:

• Damon Clear.

  They contain polycrystalline aluminum - a unique substance, thanks to which stains do not appear on the tooth surface and the enamel does not darken. Patients with such braces can eat colored foods and drink coffee and tea without restrictions. This is an extremely important point, because after wearing ligature models, many clients are left with clearly visible marks on their front incisors. These enamel damages are noticeable when talking, smiling and eating, and to eliminate these defects, whitening will be required, which will put even more unwanted stress on the enamel. Patients with Damon systems will be free from such problems.

• Damon Clear 2.

  This model is also made on the basis of polycrystalline aluminum and does not impose restrictions on the patient’s diet. However, there is another significant advantage: braces in this category are transparent, which means they are almost invisible in the mouth. With the help of 3D technologies, the orthodontist will be able to produce a system that will take into account the specific structure of the client’s oral cavity down to the smallest nuances.

• Damon 3.

  These are ceramic non-ligature models that are characterized by minimal weight and dimensions. Their presence in the mouth is almost not felt, and they do not at all interfere with blood circulation. If you are afraid that braces will scratch your cheeks from the inside, then with Damon 3 such a problem will definitely not affect you.

• Damon 3 mx.

  This model is characterized by increased strength and rounded shapes of all components. It is recommended for patients with sensitive mucous membranes, because it is guaranteed not to injure them. You will be able to move your tongue over any elements completely calmly.

• ● Damon Q.

  These braces are extremely miniature and do not cause any inconvenience to the client. Their advanced Spin Tek latches feature sliding doors, making system adjustments even easier. Damon Q braces also have additional horizontal and vertical grooves.

During your initial examination, your orthodontist will explain which braces are best for you and how long you will need to wear them. Please note that of all the methods of bite correction available today, Damon is recognized as the most physiological - it is unlikely that you will be able to find a more aesthetic and less traumatic option.

ATTENTION:

Damon sapphire braces are called that not because they are made of precious stone. The system is made from ceramic, but since it is transparent and invisible in the mouth, it is figuratively compared to sapphire.

Price

Given the reasonable cost of the Damon system itself, which varies from 11 to 20 thousand rubles , treatment in clinics significantly exceeds this amount. Here, not only installation manipulations are taken into account, but also the method of fixing the arc.

If braces with a ligature fixation system , then the cost of installing a set of 8 braces will be approximately 85 thousand rubles .

Increasing the number of braces will increase the total amount. For example, when installing 10 brackets, the cost increases by 5–8 thousand rubles.

When using a self-ligating system, the cost is 100–130 thousand rubles .
