Damon Self Ligating Braces

The latest braces technology to straighten teeth faster and more comfortably.

Discreet, comfortable, and easy to clean.

What are Self-Ligating Braces?

Traditional braces are most often tied in with elastics, which can make treatment and less comfortable. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.

Traditional treatments often require the removal of healthy teeth and/or the use of palatal expanders to make space. Damon alignment offers full, natural smiles achieved with light biologically-sensible forces, a process specifically designed to improve your overall facial result.

Benefits of Damon Self-Ligating Braces

  • Less chair-time at appointments.
  • No elastic ties for improved oral hygiene
  • Fewer appointments and shorter treatment

Is it ever too late to get braces?

Braces are usually fitted by the age of 12 or 13, when adult teeth have fully developed. But there are many options for adult braces, including near invisible options.

What is the average investment for adult braces?

Because treatment needs are different for each person, we will give you an accurate cost following your orthodontic consultation.

Do you have payment plans available?

Yes! See our insurance and payment information here.

Will my health insurer cover my braces?

Medicare does not cover orthodontics but your private health policy might include orthodontics. You will need to confirm your cover with your insurance provider directly.

We work with all health insurers and offer HICAPS, which can reimburse your policy cover amount on the same day. If you have any specific query regarding your insurance cover please contact your health insurance directly.
