Orthodontic dentistry at Dental Implant Academy is practiced with a dedicated concern for our patient’s dental health and well being. At the forefront of every proposed orthodontic treatment plan is our commitment to improving your quality of life through a comprehensive dental care approach. Orthodontic correction techniques are firmly in the 21st Century and allow therapeutic adjustments of misaligned teeth without painful and unattractive metal braces.

The Benefits of Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatments provide substantial benefits to your long-term, overall dental health, including:

• Improving your bite – this allows for uniform pressure to be applied to the entire jawbone when biting.

• Improving access for cleaning – straight teeth are easier to clean, which encourages good dental hygiene.

• Improving your appearance – straight teeth compliment your smile, which increases
..your confidence and enhances sociability.

The Damon System

The Damon System is not just a new product, it's a whole new way of treating patients. Conventional treatment often requires removal of healthy teeth and/or the use of palatal expanders to make space. This approach is often uncomfortable, takes longer, and can leave a narrower arch and a flat profile. Damon smiles are full, natural 10-tooth smiles achieved with light biologically-sensible forces, and are specifically designed to improve the overall facial result of each patient.

Braces are the beginning, but the system makes the smile. Certified Damon System doctors combine three key components, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results:

• 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.
  
  
• Light high-technology shape-memory wires that move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
  
  
• A new clinically proven treatment approach that aligns your teeth and enhances your facial aesthetics - usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.

Conventional braces are tied in with elastics, which cause friction and pressure, making treatment slower and less comfortable. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which allows teeth to move more freely, quickly and comfortably.

Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment

When are Orthodontics the best Solution?

Determining if Orthodontics are the best solution to your dental needs can easily be done through a full dental examination by one of the Dental Implant Academy orthodontic dentists. Your dental exam will take every element of your oral health into consideration and normally involves your dentist inspecting your teeth, making plaster casts of your teeth and using digital scans to record the positions of your teeth. Each imaging tool allows your dentist to determine the best possible orthodontic treatment solutions for your particular needs.

Once your treatment plan has been thoroughly reviewed and discussed with you, your treatment may begin.
