Damon braces in Dubai
What makes Damon braces different
Traditional braces hold the archwire in place with small elastic bands tied around each bracket. Those elastics create friction, and the wire has to be tightened to overcome it.
Damon brackets have a built-in sliding door that holds the wire without elastics. The wire moves more freely through the bracket, so teeth can be guided with lighter, more continuous force rather than periodic tightening.
What a dental bone graft is
A bone graft adds volume to the jaw where bone has been lost, so there is enough structure to hold a dental implant securely. Graft material is placed in the site, covered with a protective membrane, and over the following months your own bone grows into and replaces it.
The graft isn’t a permanent foreign object. It acts as a scaffold that your body gradually converts into natural bone.
Why jaw bone is lost in the first place
No elastic ties
Nothing to stretch, discolour or replace at each visit.
Less friction
The wire slides within the bracket instead of being clamped against it.
Lighter forces
Movement is guided gradually rather than through repeated tightening.
Damon braces and traditional braces
| Damon (self-ligating) | Traditional metal braces | |
|---|---|---|
| Wire held by | Built-in sliding clip | Elastic ties around each bracket |
| Adjustment visits | Typically spaced further apart | Usually every 4 weeks |
| Elastics replaced | Not required | Replaced at each visit |
| Staining of ties | No ties to stain | Clear ties can discolour between visits |
| Cleaning around brackets | Fewer places for plaque to collect | Ties add surfaces to clean around |
| Clear bracket option | Yes | Yes |
| Relative cost | Higher | Lower |
Metal and clear Damon brackets
Damon Q — metal
Stainless steel brackets, smaller than conventional metal braces. The standard choice for most cases, and the lower-cost of the two.
Damon Clear
Tooth-coloured ceramic brackets using the same self-ligating mechanism. Considerably less visible, at a higher cost. Suitability depends on the case.
What Damon braces can treat
Self-ligating braces handle the same range of cases as conventional fixed braces, including complex ones that clear aligners cannot.
Crowding
Teeth overlapping where there isn’t room in the arch.
Spacing
Gaps between teeth closed and evened out.
Overbite and underbite
Bite relationships corrected alongside alignment.
Rotated teeth
Teeth turned out of position brought into the arch.
Whether fixed braces or clear aligners suit you better depends on the complexity of your case, not preference alone. We assess this at the consultation and tell you honestly if aligners would give an equal result.
From consultation to retainers
01
Consultation and records
Examination, x-rays and scans, then a written treatment plan with the expected duration and cost.
02
Fitting
Brackets bonded to the teeth and the first wire placed. No injections needed.
03
Adjustments
Periodic visits to change wires and monitor progress as the teeth move.
04
Removal and retainers
Braces removed, teeth polished, and retainers fitted to hold the result.
Retainers are part of the treatment, not an optional extra. Teeth drift back without them, and how long you wear them is discussed before your braces come off.
The first week, eating and cleaning
First few days
Teeth feel tender and lips may rub against the brackets. Orthodontic wax and soft food help while you adjust.
What to avoid
Hard, sticky and chewy foods that can dislodge a bracket. Cut firm items rather than biting into them.
Cleaning
Brush after meals, use an interdental brush around brackets, and keep your hygiene appointments through treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Damon brackets hold the wire with a built-in sliding clip rather than elastic ties. That reduces friction in the bracket and removes the need to replace elastics at each visit.
Expect tenderness for a few days after fitting and after wire changes, managed with over-the-counter pain relief and soft food. No injection is needed to fit them.
Damon Clear uses tooth-coloured ceramic brackets with the same mechanism. Whether they suit your case is assessed at the consultation.
Fixed braces handle a wider range of complex movements, while aligners are removable and less visible. We tell you honestly which would give the better result for your case rather than steering you to one.
Yes. Teeth drift without retention, so retainers are included in your treatment plan and the wear schedule is set before your braces come off.
Yes. Adults make up a substantial share of orthodontic patients, and the system is used across age groups where the teeth and gums are healthy.
