Damon Orthodontics

Damon Braces in Spokane

Damon Orthodontics provides the newest technology in braces. We work with DAMON ULTIMA self-ligating brackets. Damon braces are a tie-less system, which allows for less friction and faster tooth movement. Traditional braces often require the use of palatal expanders as well as the removal of teeth to create space. Treatment time is shorter, and fewer appointments are required. Thus, saving you time from your busy schedule. Also, Damon braces are known to provide the best looking smiles!
 
Damon braces differ from traditional braces because they use a self-ligating mechanism, meaning the memory wires slowly slide and adjust to the brackets. This leads to a more natural progression of the teeth’s movement due to the light continuous forces that are applied.  In contrast, regular braces use heavier forces that are more intermittent and need to be adjust more frequently . Instead of using traditional rubber bands to hold the brackets together, Damon braces use a sliding technique to hold the wire in place. This provides the patient to move their mouths more freely and quickly.
 

How Much Do Damon Braces Cost?

The average cost of Damon Braces varies depending on the starting condition of a patient’s teeth. Dr Damon will be able to access your needs at your initial consultation visit.  Our treatment coordinator will then provide you with the financial breakdowns based on your treatment plan. 
 
Damon braces are also covered by many different dental insurance plans, making it accessible to our patients. Contact your provider to determine the cost coverage of Damon braces.
 

The Most Comfortable Orthodontic Treatment Ever

 
For years, the traditional thinking was that heavy forces based on what a patient could tolerate were needed to move teeth. By creating the new Damon®️ Ultima System of high-technology braces and wires, very light natural forces can now be applied to move teeth at a rate never seen before in orthodontics. This means less pressure on your teeth for more comfortable treatment.

Damon braces have been reported to provide less pressure and friction on the teeth, making the braces experience much more comfortable. According to a study conducted by Tagawa, Damon patients reported 60% less discomfort in comparison to patients with traditional braces. Patients that have traditional braces tend to experience higher levels of discomfort due to extreme tightening that is meant to align the teeth. With the sliding mechanism that Damon braces utilize, doctors are able to apply less force to yield the same results.

Frequently Asked Questions:

At your initial examination, Dr. Damon may recommend braces (clear or metal) or clear aligners based on your dental needs.

Ask the doctors if you want a time frame. We have provided adult treatment anywhere from 3 months to 24 months, however most not exceeding 18 months.

Brush your teeth by using a regular soft toothbrush. Brush down from the top and then up from the bottom on each tooth; always brushing away from your gums. Use a gentle sawing motion to work the floss on each side of the two teeth the floss is between. Be careful not to pull with too much force around the archwire.

The Damon System uses memory shape, heat activated wires that work without needing painful adjustments, decreasing the amount of office visits necessary to complete treatment. With Damon braces, the average time between visits can range from 8-10 weeks. As you come close to finishing treatment, Dr. Damon may want to see you more often, typically between 4-6 weeks during your last few months, to fine tune your final tooth movements.

Upon arriving, each patient and parent will be seen by the staff and doctor who will acclimate you to our office and prepare for the initial exam. We will take the necessary photographs and X-rays to allow us to make a proper diagnosis. The doctor will then complete a thorough examination for you or your child.

The investment of your treatment will vary depending on your specific dental requirements. Once we complete a new patient exam and create a treatment plan for you, you will meet with a treatment coordinator to discuss the costs and payment plans available to you. We will work with you to create a payment plan that is tailored to your needs and budget.
