At Radiant Orthodontics, you’ll find many options for your orthodontic treatment including Damon® Braces, Damon® Clear, Ormco Insignia, and Invisalign®. It’s important for us to find a treatment that works for you.

Damon® Braces

Damon® braces were invented by Dr. Dwight Damon. The Damon® bracket utilizes (sliding-door) technology known as "self-ligation" that allows the wire to slide back and forth within the bracket. No elastic or steel ties are needed with Damon® brackets. This technology creates less friction and results in greater comfort for the patient. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than previous versions. In addition, Damon® braces often reduce both treatment time and the number of adjustments that are performed. While the metal version of these brackets is the most durable and the best choice for most teenagers and pre-teens, a clear crystalline version (Damon® Clear) is now available, especially for adult treatments. 

Damon® Clear

Ceramic and crystalline braces are made of translucent (clear) material. These "invisible braces" are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. With traditional versions of these braces, the elastic ties utilized to hold the wires in place can discolour between orthodontic visits. However, we offer the Damon® Clear brace which does not require the elastic ties, avoiding the problem of discolouration and providing all of the other benefits of the Damon® System.

Invisalign®

The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system. More complex orthodontic bite problems may require a combination of ceramic braces and Invisalign.
