Self Ligating Damon Braces
Are you facing the issue of misaligned teeth accompanied by underbite or overbite and looking for an orthodontic device that does not draw much attention from the onlookers? We at SmileMint Studio recommend self-ligating Damon braces that help in reducing the gap between the teeth.
What Are Self-Ligating Damon Braces?
Self-ligating damon braces have almost the same components as traditional braces, such as archwires and brackets, but the difference is that self-ligating braces do not have rubber bands to hold the brackets in their place. Another remarkable thing about damon self-ligating braces is that the brackets to hold archwires are made transparent to make them less visible to onlookers, and they do not need any additional rubber bands to hold them. It makes the self-ligating braces treatment more effective and appears to look more streamlined.
