Damon Braces in Brooklyn

More Comfortable Braces, Shorter Treatment

At Mizrahi Orthodontics, we use the Damon System, a self-ligating, tie-less braces system, in metal or tooth-colored ceramic.

Damon braces use gentle forces and no elastic ties, so treatment is more comfortable and, for many patients, shorter.

A Smarter Way
to Straighten Teeth

At Mizrahi Orthodontics, we use the Damon System in metal or tooth-colored ceramic. For patients who prefer them, we also offer LightForce custom braces.

Damon braces are self-ligating: a built-in sliding door holds the archwire in each bracket, so there are no rubber bands like conventional braces use.

The result is a more comfortable treatment, fewer office visits, and for many patients, a shorter time in braces.

How Damon Braces Work

Traditional braces use small elastic ties to hold the wire in each bracket. Those ties press on the wire and create friction, which can slow tooth movement and make adjustments feel tight.

Damon brackets replace the ties with a sliding door. The archwire moves more freely, so teeth can shift naturally with lighter, gentler forces.

That low-friction design is why many patients feel less pressure and soreness, and why self-ligating braces can speed up the early aligning phase of treatment.

At Mizrahi Orthodontics, we customize every Damon treatment plan to your smile, whether you choose metal or ceramic brackets.

The Damon Difference

Damon braces are designed to make treatment easier to live with, from your first appointment to the day your braces come off.

No Elastic Ties

A built-in sliding door holds the archwire, so there are no rubber bands to replace, stain, or trap food.

Greater Comfort

Less friction means lighter, gentler forces. Many patients feel less pressure and soreness than with traditional tightenings.

Faster Treatment, Fewer Visits

Self-ligating braces can shorten overall treatment, often by several months, and need fewer adjustment appointments.

More Benefits of Damon Braces

Beyond comfort and speed, the Damon system offers advantages that matter every day:

Easier cleaning: Elastic ties are where plaque and food tend to collect, so brushing and flossing are simpler without them.
Fewer extractions or expanders: The gentle, low-force design can often create room for teeth naturally, which in many cases reduces the need for tooth extractions or palate expanders.
Metal or ceramic: Choose metal Damon braces, or ceramic Damon braces that blend in with your teeth.

Caring for Your Damon Braces

Proper care keeps your braces working well and your treatment on track. Here are some tips to keep your braces and teeth in great shape:

Foods to Avoid

To prevent damage to your braces, avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods.

Foods like popcorn, nuts, and chewing gum can break brackets and wires, prolonging your treatment time. Stick to softer foods and cut harder items into smaller pieces.

Regular Checkups

Keep up with your regular orthodontic appointments to ensure your braces are functioning correctly.

Dr. Mizrahi and his team will make any necessary adjustments and monitor your progress. These visits are crucial for unlocking the best possible results.

Daily Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is important when you have braces:

Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and around the brackets.
