These braces are &#8216;self-ligating&#8217; which means that they use a slide mechanism to help move the teeth back into position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a low friction mechanism, consisting of small natural coloured brackets and archwires which fit over the teeth. The brackets contain a slide mechanism which exerts a minimal amount of force to move the teeth over 4 to 6 months. They do not use metal ties which makes them easy to clean and care for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damon braces are worn by both adults and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are a lightweight type of brace, virtually invisible to the naked eye yet durable as well. Their virtually invisible appearance is one of several advantages along with the shorter treatment time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A retainer will need to be worn afterwards to prevent the risk of a relapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damon braces are one of the newer types of brace which uses lightweight materials to provide a smoother&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":62,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":196,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/64\/revisions\/196"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/62"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishdentistry.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
