Damon Q self-ligating metal braces
Damon Q braces are all-metal braces that are diamond shaped and miniature in size. This brace system uses lighter forces, initially balancing and removing muscle imbalances, acting less aggressively than ligature braces that would push the teeth forward.
What is different about the concept of the Damon bracket system?
American orthodontist Dwight Damon's system was created 21 years ago and has proven to be a clinically effective technology for the clinician and for the patient, very flexible to solve different orthodontic problems. The Damon philosophy is built around low friction, self-ligation, attention to biomechanics, and minimal tooth extractions in less time and visits. Damon braces are truly a well-designed and attractive product.How does the Damon system control the muscle influence that is always present in orthodontic treatment?
The bracket system uses lighter forces, initially balancing and removing muscle imbalances. The orthodontic arch itself is very light and doesn't allow the front teeth to go forward unnecessarily, overcoming the natural pressure of the lip, and if the lip is holding the teeth back, then the arch that is trying to correct crowding will expand the tooth row, which is what is needed for orthodontic treatment. It doesn't act as aggressively as ligature braces, which would push the teeth forward.

Placement process
Damon Q braces are placed on the outer side of the tooth row. First, the locks are placed on the outermost teeth, then all the brackets of the upper and lower jaw are placed at once through indirect fixation (a special option of our clinic, extremely comfortable for patients), and the arches are fixed by closing in the grooves of the brackets with a snap-on transparent lock. And no more rubber bands and garters – only modern technological European approach.
