Damon/Self-Ligating Braces
Damon braces (also known as self-ligating) were invented by Dr. Dwight Damon in 1962. These braces are identical to traditional metal braces, except that the rubber bands are replaced by specialized clips. There are two main benefits to this change: fewer replacements and adjustments are required for clips than for rubber bands, and your teeth get aligned with less pressure. Depending on the severity of your dental concern, there may be other important considerations.
