Doctors who are certified of Damon Systems, such as Dr. Thomas Lee, make use of three key components that deliver faster treatment, more comfort, and high quality results with a low number of appointments with the orthodontist. These three components are inclusive of Damon passive self-ligating braces, light high technology shape-memory wires and a new and clinically proven treatment approach to align teeth and improve facial aesthetics without needing extractions or expanders. The Damon passive self-ligating braces does not require the traditional elastic or metal ties and allow you to obtain treatment without tightening. The special wires used move faster. They also do not require the same number of adjustments as traditional braces do. The arch wires are kept within the brackets using a technology called the “passive” slide mechanism. This mechanism does not cause much friction or pressure allowing teeth to move quickly and with comfort. This type of treatment is done on both children and adults and it takes into account what you will look like for the rest of your life. However, these braces are not for every orthodontic case. Each person may require different treatments and only a skilled orthodontist can let you know whether you should undergo Damon clear braces or follow another form of treatment. Dr. Thomas Lee is one of the best orthodontics in the Ventura County with over 15 years of experience. He has handled more than a thousand treatments related to Damon clear braces and has helped all his patients achieve the best results possible.
