What is Damon orthodontics and its types
Demon Tooth orthodontics is one of the advanced and painless methods of fixed orthodontics that connects the wires to the bracket with the help of self-opening brackets (Selfligit) without the need for colored plastic bands. This advanced design reduces the friction between the wire and the bracket, the movement of the teeth is smoother and easier, and the patient experiences less pain.
Using it has become very popular, especially for people who are concerned about the length of treatment or the beauty of brackets. According to statistics, about 30% of adult orthodontic patients in Iran use Damon self-opening systems, and it has become more popular in Isfahan, especially for those who are looking for a well-equipped center and an experienced specialist.
Types of Damon orthodontics and their application
Damon Metal Orthodontics
Metal brackets are resistant and durable, suitable for correcting all kinds of complex jaw and teeth abnormalities. This type is more recommended for children and teenagers, because it has high resistance and a lot of correction power and provides reliable performance even in extreme cases.
Demon transparent (ceramic) orthodontics
Clear or tooth-colored brackets which are more suitable for adults. Beauty is important during treatment and this type of bracket attracts less attention. With a transparent bracket, the patient can experience effective treatment and beautiful appearance at the same time.
Demon pseudo orthodontics
There are systems similar to Daemon that are close in performance, but may be more cost-effective. This option is suitable for patients who are looking for a less painful and relatively economical method.
Summary and practical tips for the patient
- If you want a painless and comfortable treatment, the Damon system is the right option.
- Adults who care about the beauty of the bracket use transparent or ceramic brackets.
- Children and teenagers use metal because of its high resistance and power to correct abnormalities.
- Choosing its type is completely done by the orthodontist according to individual characteristics and the severity of the abnormality.

The difference between Damon orthodontics and normal orthodontics
One of the most common questions of patients in Isfahan is: "Is Damon orthodontics really better than regular orthodontics?" Short answer: depends on individual circumstances, including:
- Your medical needs
- Age of the patient
- severity of teeth abnormality
- Aesthetic priorities
Each system has its advantages and limitations, and the best choice should be made by Dr.Damon Orthodontics based on your personal circumstances.
Normal orthodontics
Traditional orthodontics (metal or ceramic) uses plastic ties to connect the wire to the bracket. Important points of this method:
- Pain and Discomfort: The patient may experience slight pain or pressure after each wire adjustment.
- Shorter sessions: Visits for wire adjustments are usually required every 4 to 6 weeks.
Damon Orthodontics
This method uses self-opening brackets (selfligit) and doesn't need plastic elastic. Advantages of this method:
- The movement of the teeth is calmer and more uniform: Less friction reduces pain and discomfort.
- Longer intervals between sessions: In many patients, visits can be 6 to 10 weeks apart.
- More comfort for adults and children: The treatment experience will be less stressful and more comfortable.
- Transparent or ceramic option: For those who care about the beauty of brackets, tooth-colored brackets are more attractive.
Which method is right for you?
- The choice between daemon and normal should be based on your individual circumstances and preferences.
- With strict adherence to health care and regular meetings, the result of treatment of both methods will be lasting and successful.
Dr. Farinaz Shirban's advice, choosing between Daemon and traditional
"The choice between these two methods depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the type of dental abnormality. Experience shows that Damon is the best option for people looking for less painful treatment, longer intervals between sessions and more accurate results, but the final diagnosis is always made by the orthodontist after careful examination of the patient's condition."
Dr. Farinaz Shirban, Orthodontist in Isfahan
In the following, we check the differences with a complete comparison table:
| property | Normal | Demon |
|---|---|---|
| bracket type | Metal or ceramic with plastic elastic | Metallic or transparent with self-opening system (Self Ligit) |
| wire and bracket friction | more, it causes the tooth movement to slow down and cause more pain | Less, faster and easier tooth movement |
| distance between visits | every 4-6 weeks | Every 6-10 weeks |
| Experience pain and discomfort | Usually more, especially in the days after the wires are set | Less and quieter, due to reduced friction and no use of cache |
| appearance and beauty | Colored plastic strip may be seen; Ceramic is less attention-grabbing | The transparent bracket is the same color as the teeth and looks more beautiful |
| need to pull teeth | It depends on the severity of the abnormality | Less likely due to the slow expansion of arcs, but the final decision rests with the expert |
| for whom | children, teenagers and adults with teeth correction priority | Adults for whom the beauty of brackets is important and children with moderate to complex deformities |
Summary of differences for the patient
- Damon orthodontics is less painful and faster.
- The distance between visits in the daemon is longer and does not require frequent adjustments.
- The appearance of the transparent bracket is more suitable for adults and teenagers who care about beauty.
- Both methods can be performed by a specialist, but the result of the treatment depends on the skill of the Damon orthodontic specialist.
Comments of international experts about Damon Orthodontics
