Metal Damon Braces
Beyond their traditional color, the only thing traditional about these braces is that you can see them. Damon braces are made of super strong metal alloys derived from the space program. Their strength allows them to be the smallest of all braces and therefore the most comfortable. They are ultra slippery so teeth move faster and they self-ligate (hold the wire without the little rubber elastic o-ring around them). At Sierra Orthodontics, the Damon System, and other high tech materials mean office visits are about every 6-8 weeks.
Clear Damon Braces
Ceramic braces utilize less noticeable brackets for patients concerned about aesthetic appearances. Ceramic brackets are translucent, so they blend in with your natural tooth color. These are available for the upper front six teeth. This means that unlike traditional stainless steel braces, with ceramic braces your smile will not look 'metallic.' In addition, ceramic brackets are designed so that they won't stain or discolor over long periods of time. Sierra Orthodontics can let you know if you are a candidate for ceramic braces.
Incognito Lingual (tongue side) Braces
Incognito braces actual go on the lingual or tongue side of your teeth. They are individualy customized to fit the patients teeth. They are very similar to traditional braces in the sense are made of metal, but no one can see them because they go on the inner surface of your teeth. No one can tell that you have braces! If you are a candidate, Dr. Gune will inform you of this option.
