The Damon system braces is a unique system and is now the "standard of care" for excellence in orthodontic treatment. 

Be sure your dentist is a "Damon Doctor" and is not just using the Damon brackets but that he / she has fully adopted the "system". 

It's important to ask questions like:

1: "When the system was adopted fully?"
2. '"How many cases have you treated?"
3. "Can I see some examples of Damon cases you have completed?"

* Only the Damon System can prevent and forestall airway problems (such as Sleep Apnea) and this is of huge importance in our child population. 

* Only the Damon System can minimize the "bite problems' and eliminate (almost) the need for extractions.  Extractions usually are unnecessary and they damage the facial appearance (especially as aging occurs) and the bite.

* Only the Damon system can avoid (most of the time) jaw surgery.  There are many risks involved with surgery such as hospital based infections, skin sensation loss, etc.  It is important to get a second opinion before you commit to surgery!
