Damon Braces
A Modern Approach to Orthodontic Alignment. Advanced self-ligating braces designed for efficiency, comfort, and beautifully balanced smiles.

Not All Braces Are the Same
Braces may look similar at a glance, but the system behind them — and how it’s used — makes a meaningful difference.
At Hinton Orthodontics, we take a selective, intentional approach to orthodontic care. We don’t offer every system available. Instead, we choose technologies we are fully confident in — systems that support precision, comfort, and long-term stability rather than shortcuts or aggressive mechanics.
Damon Braces reflect this philosophy. They represent a modern evolution of braces, designed to work with lighter forces and refined mechanics that align closely with how we approach smile design and facial balance.
What Sets Damon Braces Apart
What Are Damon Braces?
Damon Braces are a type of self-ligating braces, meaning they use a specialized sliding mechanism rather than traditional elastic ties to hold the orthodontic wire in place.
This design allows teeth to move more freely along the wire, guided by lighter forces. By reducing friction and resistance, Damon Braces support a more controlled and efficient alignment process for many patients.
Rather than relying on repeated tightening and elastic replacement, the Damon system is designed to allow gradual, biologically responsive movement — a key consideration in modern orthodontic care.
Light-Force Mechanics
Damon Braces are designed to apply lighter, more consistent forces. This approach may support improved comfort during treatment and allows for thoughtful, progressive alignment rather than abrupt adjustments.
Efficient Alignment
The self-ligating design reduces friction between brackets and wires, which can support smoother tooth movement and fewer interruptions during treatment.
Clean, Streamlined Design
Without elastic ties, Damon Braces are generally easier to keep clean and maintain — an important consideration for oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Facial Balance Considerations
Damon systems are often used in treatment approaches that emphasize smile width, arch development, and balanced alignment — elements that align naturally with The Hinton Smile philosophy.
Why We Use Damon Braces at Hinton Orthodontics
Technology alone doesn’t create exceptional results — how it’s applied does.
At Hinton Orthodontics, Damon Braces are used because they support the outcomes we value most: balance, precision, comfort, and long-term stability. Our team has extensive experience planning and executing treatment with this system, allowing us to apply it with intention rather than routine.
We are deliberate about the tools we use. Damon Braces are part of our practice because they complement a facially driven, detail-oriented approach — not because they are convenient or widely marketed.
This level of selectivity reflects our belief that orthodontic care should be purposeful, not interchangeable.

Designed for Comfort, Guided with Care
Orthodontic treatment should feel supported — not overwhelming.
Damon Braces are designed to reduce friction and complexity, while our team focuses on clear communication, thoughtful adjustments, and ongoing support throughout treatment.
Patients often appreciate an experience that feels calm, predictable, and intentional — with results that look natural rather than forced. Our goal is not just alignment, but confidence in the process and satisfaction with the final result.
Is This the Right Option for You?
Self-Ligataing Braces Designed For Comfort, Efficiency and Beautiful Balanced Smiles
Damon Braces may be recommended for children, teens, or adults, depending on individual needs and treatment goals. They are commonly considered for concerns such as:
Every recommendation begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We assess dental alignment, bite relationships, facial balance, and personal goals before determining whether Damon Braces are the most appropriate option.
If another solution is better suited to your needs, we’ll discuss that openly.
