Orthodontics

Dental braces (also known as braces, orthodontic cases, or cases) are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help position them with regard to a person’s bite, while also aiming to improve dental health.

Braces are basically handles on your teeth. Fine wires are attached to these handles which move the teeth in the correct position.  Braces give an Orthodontist full control of each individual tooth, allowing them to be placed in precise positions to help improve your smile.

Braces also fix gaps. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites, open bites, deep bites, cross bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw.

Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws.

With the innovative technology of the Damon System, teeth straightening is easier than ever before to improve your smile in far less time, with greater comfort and with greater results and benefits that last a lifetime.

• Healthier teeth and gums
• Confidence to excel in school, work and personal life
• Broader smile
• Enhanced facial features
• Clearer speech for interviews, public speaking, etc.

During the ages of 4-11 years, initial interceptive treatment can be done to reduce the severity of a problem when all the adult teeth come through.  In some cases, this can eliminate the need for definitive orthodontic treatment with full braces.

The optimal time for full orthodontic treatment (full braces) is when the baby teeth have all fallen out. Typically 11-13 years for girls, and 12-14 years for boys.

There are some exceptional cases where we recommend orthodontic treatment is delayed till teeth have full grown.

Enamel uses braces from Damon which offer the following benefits to your normal braces:

1. Damon passive self-ligating braces that eliminate the need for elastic or metal “ties”. With Damon tie-less braces you can experience treatment without tightening.
2. Light high-technology shape-memory wires that move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
3. A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and enhances your facial aesthetics—usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.

With the Damon System, we don’t just align the teeth; we are able create beautiful smiles. The Damon System is designed to deliver results for a lifetime.

Damon braces create less friction and their unique design makes them an easier and often a faster form of braces.

In fact, choosing Damon braces can take up to six months off of treatment and also lead to fewer orthodontic treatments.

Treatment time with the Damon System is typically much faster than with conventional braces. Also, far fewer appointments are required during treatment. 

The Damon System braces have a unique slide mechanism that allows us to use far lighter forces to move teeth to their correct positions. So not only is your treatment shorter, it is also far more comfortable.

Very light “shape memory” titanium wires are used that gently guide your teeth to their ideal position. Many people experience very little discomfort.  

Braces are much smaller than they were just a few years ago, and new materials are now used that make them very discreet.

The cost of braces can vary depending on the work needed for your teeth.  We recommend booking an appointment with our team to advise you on available solutions and their cost.

As with everything at  Enamel, our goal is to ensure that our clients achieve the best results while providing sound dental and orthodontic advice, excellent value and memorable customer service.
