Damon system
Damon System:
The Damon system is a product of the US company Ormco, which is characterized by a passive and self-ligating clamp system. The brackets of the Damon system use a passive sliding mechanism that keeps the archwires in the brackets, but where they can move relatively freely. This creates less frictional resistance, so that the teeth can be moved faster and more comfortably. With the Damon system, the treatment time can be reduced by up to seven months. The gentle and biological action of this particular passive force transmission system ensures effective collaboration with the facial muscles, tongue and tissues. Thus, the often necessary "pulling" of healthy teeth for reasons of space can be avoided!
Ceramic brackets​:
​ Ceramic brackets work the same as rhodium self-ligating brackets, except they are ceramic/sapphire. This combines the advantages of self-ligating brackets with a very fast, effective and almost invisible treatment. Our orthodontist Männedorf Dr. Sam Moosavi uses self-ligating ceramic bracket systems for this purpose, which do not discolour, even if worn for a long time, due to dyes contained in coffee, juices, nicotine or tea, for example. Optionally, we also combine ceramic and rhodium systems. Ceramic brackets are used for the more conspicuous upper jaw, while rhodium brackets are less conspicuous for the lower jaw. This saves costs compared to standard brackets and still optimizes the aesthetics.
