ABOUT DAMON BRACES

The technology of the braces that we’re using is incredible. It allows teeth to move very rapidly with very little pressure. 

Dr. Andrews and The ‘A’ Team use the Damon System rather than traditional braces

This system is an innovative way of perfecting each patient’s smile much faster and with up to 700 times less pressure than the traditional braces.  This of course translates into shorter treatment time and far less discomfort in the process. All brackets are not created equal…. Damon System brackets use the most up to date technology and innovation.  We are thrilled to offer them here in our office…. Where we want offer only the best of the best for our patients.
