What Is Self-Ligating Braces?
Damon Q Metal Braces are a type of Self-Ligating Braces that use a special sliding mechanism to hold the archwire instead of traditional elastic bands. This design reduces pressure on the teeth, allowing them to move more freely and comfortably. Known as “speed braces,” they often have shorter treatment time and require fewer visits. Damon Q Metal Braces are durable, effective, and suitable for children, teens, and adults seeking faster, more comfortable orthodontic care.
How It Works
Damon Q Metal Braces use brackets with a built-in sliding mechanism to hold a titanium archwire without elastic bands. During treatment, the dentist at our affiliated clinic first cleans your teeth and then bonds the brackets to each tooth’s surface. The archwire is threaded through the brackets and secured with the sliding clips, allowing teeth to move gently and freely. This reduces friction and pressure compared to traditional braces. Monthly visits are scheduled to check progress and make adjustments. The braces gradually shift teeth into alignment faster and with less discomfort.
