Damon braces: description, varieties, photos

In any industry, you can highlight the brand, which is the standard of quality. In orthodontics, Damon is considered one. All those who have already worn braces or are just about to install them, know this manufacturer. The best metal bracket system at the moment Daimon (Damon, Damon) Q is produced by him. But the brand has other products that deserve the attention of users.

Features of Dimon braces

The Daimon company was established in 2002 by the orthodontist Dwight Damon. With her Damon System line, she made a splash. It used the principle of self-regulation, which even today is not applied everywhere, and at that time it seemed completely fantastic.

Previously, all braces were ligature. The pressure on the teeth in them was regulated by special gums. Sometimes it could be too strong, because of which a person felt severe pain. Self-adjusting braces helped solve this problem. In case of excessive pressure on one of the sections of the chain, the design slightly loosens the grip. The arc can move, due to which the pressure on the teeth is evenly distributed. Light discomfort Damon braces deliver only in the period of addiction.

Today, many other companies also produce self-adjusting braces, but Daimon's products remain the most popular. To correct a bite and a serious curvature of the teeth, doctors most often recommend products of this particular company.

Varieties of Damon Braces

At the moment, the following braces produced by Damon can be distinguished:

• Damon 2.
• Damon 3.
• Damon 3 MX.
• Damon Q.
• Damon Clear.
• Damon Clear 2.

Bracket system Damon 2

Damon 2 Brackets was the first self-adjusting structure on the market. Today, in terms of their characteristics, they are already seriously inferior not only to more elaborate models of the same company, but also products from other manufacturers.

However, the design is still very popular among orthodontists and their patients. Damon 2 gives a quick result at low cost. The average price of such a system is 20 thousand rubles.

Bracket system Damon 3

There are people who do not agree to wear braces because of their unaesthetic appearance. Expensive ceramic and sapphire systems were invented especially for them. But there is a more budget option - Daimon 3 braces.

For the manufacture of the Diamond 3 system, several materials were first used for the first time. Their base is made from a combination of ceramic and plastic. Ceramic material is used to produce those sections of the structure where special strength is needed. Less vulnerable elements are made of plastic. It is needed only in order to reduce the cost of construction.

The main part of the brackets is made of metal. But since the brackets take up little space on the teeth, others simply do not notice them.

In addition to the aesthetic appearance, Damon 3 braces have other advantages:

• smaller size compared to the previous model;
• high resistance to loads;
• shorter treatment period;
• greater wearing comfort.

Damon braces of this model cannot be called very expensive - the construction price starts from 35 thousand rubles.

Bracket system Damon 3 MX

The Daimon MX model is a modified version of its predecessor. Its main differences will be noticeable only to specialists. Each lock of such a system has a vertical groove that allows you to fix additional hooks. They may be required if the main load from the arc is not enough.

For patients more notable difference of the model MX is the rounded shape of the locksas in the photo. Thanks to this, the process of getting used to the Diamond braces is faster. The patient will not be able to damage the gingival locks or tongue, as is often the case in the first few weeks of orthodontic treatment. The smooth shape of the brackets also has a positive effect on hygiene: brushing your teeth and the braces themselves is easier and faster.

Bracket system Damon Q

As in the previous case, the features of the Damon Q bracket system will be more noticeable for orthodontists. The design has replaced the system of fastening the arc to the locks. Now the specialist does not need to spend a lot of time on the removal and installation of braces.

The Kew model not only facilitates the work of a specialist, but also gives additional advantages:

• the time spent in the dentist’s office is reduced several times;
• the patient experiences less discomfort when removing braces, because the orthodontist will have to spend less effort on this;
• You can forget about accidental injuries during the removal process.

Damon Q bracket systems are even smaller than previous models. Because of this, they are often given to patients with low gum levels. Other designs usually rub heavily and seriously injure the mucous membrane of such people.

The minimum price of Kew braces for one jaw starts at 35 thousand rubles. During treatment, the patient will have to visit the orthodontist less often, so the total cost of therapy will be even less than when wearing standard braces.

Bracket system Damon Clear

With the bracket bracket Clear began a new round in the history of the company. Previously, in her assortment there were only combination or metal braces, among which Damon Q. Damon Clear is made of another material - polycrystalline aluminum oxide.

Due to the appearance of Clear braces and the name of the company, which is similar to the word diamond, many believe that they are made of precious stones. But the material used in the construction is even better: it combines the strength of the metal and the appearance of the crystal.

Damon braces are almost invisible on the teeth - see photo. Along with this, the patient receives all the advantages of orthodontic systems from this brand: strength, impeccable appearance, quick result.

Bracket system Damon Clear 2

Clear 2 is the latest model of braces from Diamond. They are made of the same materials as the previous system and differ only in the fact that their grooves hold the arc much better. It practically does not move from side to side, but the design still remains self-regulating.

With excessive load, the arc pressure can be weakened, but thanks to new locks, it is precisely directed in the right direction. Bracket treatment Damon Clear 2 runs several times faster than with standard metal braces.

It makes no sense to put transparent brackets on the back teeth. Normally, Clear and Clear 2 are set only in the smile zone. The remaining teeth use metal systems, which reduces the cost of the entire structure by 1.5–2 times.

It doesn’t matter if you choose Dimon Kew or Clear aesthetic metal braces, the treatment will still be effective. The choice for the most part depends on the amount you are willing to spend.
