Damon Braces in Spanish Fork

What Are the Benefits of Damon Braces?

Damon Braces offer a cutting-edge approach to orthodontic care, designed to fix common complaints about traditional braces. Because Damon Braces have a self-ligating system, there’s no need for additional gear or elastics to hold the wire in place.

Another added benefit of the self-ligating system is there’s no need to come into our office in Spanish Fork to get braces tightened. The self-ligating system does it naturally. This results in consistent, subtle pressure that repositions teeth with enhanced comfort and reduced metal visibility.

What Can They Do for Me?

Compared to traditional braces, Damon Braces promise:

  • Fewer office visits
  • Improved oral hygiene
  • Superior aesthetics
  • Smoother and more comfortable treatment experience. 

Dr. Kuhni at Kuhni Orthodontic Studio in Spanish Fork recommends Damon Braces for their efficiency and the plethora of benefits they offer over conventional braces.
