Damon® System FAQs
With the Damon System, we don't just align the teeth; we create beautiful smiles. Your doctor takes into account a number of factors when creating your treatment plan. The Damon System is designed to deliver results for a lifetime.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment time with the Damon System is typically much faster than with conventional braces. Also, far fewer appointments are required during treatment.
Since the Damon System works so quickly, does that mean it is harsh or unsafe?
No. In fact, what makes the Damon System work so quickly is its use of gentle, more biologically sensible forces than conventional braces. The low-friction nature of the system assures improved tooth position and improved facial harmony. Very light-shape memory-titanium wires are used to gently guide your teeth to their ideal position.
Will my teeth hurt after adjustments?
While braces of any kind may cause slight discomfort, many patients experience very little discomfort with Damon System braces because of the system's low-force, low-friction nature.
Aren't braces big and bulky?
Not any more! Braces are much smaller than they were just a few years ago, and new materials are now used that make them very discreet. Damon System braces have a particularly low profile, so you might forget you're even wearing them!
What about adult treatment?
People of all ages should be proud of their smile. Adults can be treated quickly, easily, and most importantly, with a high-quality result.
How much does the Damon System treatment cost?
We know that cost is a big question for anyone considering braces. The truth is, only your doctor can determine the cost for your specific treatment. Damon System braces are usually similar to the cost of traditional braces.
Does insurance cover Damon System treatment?
Because medical benefits differ significantly from policy to policy, you should review your policy coverage. If you have orthodontic coverage, Damon System braces are covered to the same extent as regular braces.
What payment options are available?
Most doctors will help you find options to make your treatment affordable. Many offices offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans, many with no down payment and no interest, making it easier for you to get the treatment or procedures you want and need.
