Which braces are better...Damon Clear or Damon Metal braces? Here at Smile Design Studio a lot of my patients ask me whether they can have clear braces and what the difference is between the Damon Clear and Damon Metal braces. Well, aside from the obvious advantage of Damon Clear braces being a less visible treatment option, the technology behind the two bracket systems is pretty similar. So, with Damon Clear braces because of the material (they’re made of a polycarbonate material and that material is not quite as strong as the metal braces), in order for them to stand up to the forces that are happening inside your mouth, they need to be a little bit bigger and have a little bit more material. So, the end result is that the Damon Clear brackets are a bit wider and have a bigger profile compared to the Damon Metal braces. So, in terms of the differences between the two braces, it's more about whether or not we can use them and that has to do with the amount of crowding and the size of the teeth and for most patients in the upper arch where it actually matters, Damon Clear braces are usually possible and in the lower arch that's where we're more likely to come across problems because the teeth are thinner. In terms of the treatment length and the results, there isn't a huge amount of difference. You can get pretty much the same results with Damon Clear braces as you can with Damon Metal braces. In terms of the length of treatment, theoretically speaking, it should be the same but what we find is that because Damon Clear braces are more likely to have emergencies and breakages and things like that, that delay in a patient being able to come in and get that sorted out; that is actually what is slowing the treatment down. In reality, the difference is quite negligible we might find that Damon Clear braces on average take a month or two longer than the Damon Metal but I think that's a small price to pay to have a much less visible treatment option.

I wasted my time with clear uppers because soon as I got my meatal lowers ppl noticed. Not too many ppl knew I had them first 9 months. They are a touch too big but comfortable. Wish I had all meatal and now im stuck in these 2 extra months lol

[@uhrrrrrangels]

My main concern is that it will chip or break your tooth when it is time to remove them.

[@Elmachable]

And the price is different too

[@holandadelgado831]

My ortho placed clear Damon in the upper arch and metal Damon in the lower,is that a bad approach?

[@user-qg4fk9yb1h]

I've been reading this a lot, is there a reason why?

[@freducation1689]

He did it right because braces are usually visible on upper arch than lower arch

[@loginsignup7818]

Is Damon clear faster than metal Damon or not please answer

[@atoceansmercy]

no

[@wimietrinidad8069]

what is best metal or ceramic braces?

[@kotimoto]

If you are worried about looks, then ceramic, else metal which is cheaper

[@Gratefulskanda]

Don't go for braces they cause tmd issues

[@kotimoto]

@///AMG nope, the wire is still metal, just the braces on the front are ceramic, those on molar are metal

[@MyHealthyPlate_recipes]

Metal, cheaper, removes with no pain, not bulky, you can chose the colors

[@alaraataman1276]

I have both, ceramic at the top, metal at the bottom, they are both like the same, but the metal you can see more.

[@theVireshJoshi]

Yeah that's why I am getting metal braces.

Jaw bones can disolve from undue pressure ANYWAYS, youre not saving anything, i have braces for an underbite and the reverse nature of my bite was making my lower jaw bones dissolve and gums receed anyways, the amount of pressure braces apply on teeth is not enough to cause excess damage to the jaw and cause any problems, but if u have a severely compromised bite and scattered teeth like i did, without braces youre looking at losing some teeth in your fucking 30s
