Orthodontist in Chattanooga, TN | Scenic City OrthodonticsMetal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

At SCO, we use the Damon System. There are three key components to the Damon System, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results:

  • Damon braces are tie-less or “self ligating” braces, which means you can experience treatment without tightening.
  • Light memory wires move the teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
  • This approach aligns the teeth as well as enhances the facial aesthetics, usually without extractions or rapid palatal expanders.

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.
