What are Passive Self-Ligating Braces, and How Can They Make Such a Difference?

Traditionally, braces required elastic or steel ties, or clips to hold (or ligate) the orthodontic wire tightly into the slot of the bracket. PASSIVE self-ligating (PSL) brackets have a built-in sliding door the forms a passive fourth wall that closes to keep the wire in the slot without exerting binding pressure on it. Rich clinical data have shown that the force required to overcome frictional binding is 400-600 times less with the Damon PSL braces. Orthodontists move teeth by sliding them along< the archwire and they slide easier and with much less force with Damon braces. LIGHT FORCE IS THE KEY!

It’s Not Just a Bracket, It’s an Entire System

The Passive Self-Ligating BRACKETS are the first component of the system. The light force and extremely flexible alloy “memory” WIRES and the TREATMENT PROTOCOLS that prescribe force levels, duration and sequence are the other important components that work together to make the system.

How is Treatment Different with the Damon System?

Low friction/low force orthodontics can gradually move teeth and the surrounding bone in a lateral direction increasing width of the dental arches allowing orthodontists to treat severe crowding and narrow upper jaws non-invasively without extracting teeth and without using palatal expanders in many cases. All patients benefit esthetically with wider, fuller smiles!
