Damon® clear ceramic braces
Damon Clear braces in Richmond & Mechanicsville, VA
Damon Clear ceramic braces are similar to Invisalign® in that they offer a subtle solution for teeth straightening. However, instead of a mouth guard that molds to the shape of your teeth, clear ceramic braces resemble Damon metal braces — with a transparent twist.
Damon Clear braces are an excellent option for teens, adults and parents looking for an alternative to Invisalign or metal braces. They provide an extra benefit — self-ligating technology.

What is the Damon System?
The Damon System consists of transparent, self-ligating braces, which don’t use elastic ties to hold the archwires. The Damon System’s design causes less friction between the archwires and your teeth. This advanced braces technology provides a better fit, a brighter smile, and a happier you.
The Damon System gradually widens your smile more than traditional braces while ensuring upright teeth for a comfortable bite. You may also see a faster treatment time compared to traditional braces!
More confidence
If you want an attractive alternative to metal braces, Damon braces offer a discreet appearance while aligning your teeth. Show your smile off as much as you like without worrying about how your braces look!
More comfort
You can experience a more comfortable teeth-straightening process through gradual, automatic tightening rather than sudden adjustments.
Added convenience
Since Damon Clear braces are self-ligating, you won’t need to make as many orthodontist appointments to have them periodically re-tightened. They tighten the wire independently through their sliding mechanism.
Enhanced hygiene
Patients who don’t need to use elastics with their self-ligating braces will have an easier time cleaning their teeth. Elastics can be tricky to maneuver when brushing or flossing, but the Damon System addresses this with tie-less brackets.
How do Damon Clear braces work?
Damon Clear self-ligating braces tighten automatically to fit your teeth. They respond to treatment instead of using the traditional method with elastics or clips. The brackets use a high-tech sliding “door” that holds archwires in place while allowing free movement.
Some patients may still need elastics, but the Damon system generally offers a smoother, easier way to align your teeth with a passive sliding mechanism.
