Damon Braces FAQs
Do Damon Braces Hurt?
This is hands-down one of the most asked questions we get from patients who are considering straightening their teeth. If you’ve been wondering this yourself, then you’ll be happy to hear that Damon braces are considerably more comfortable than traditional braces. This is largely because there is a slide mechanism that holds the archwire in place, which reduces the amount of pressure on the teeth. However, the fact that there are fewer adjustment appointments helps, too!
How Long Do Damon Braces Take?
The length of your teeth-straightening treatment will depend on several factors, including whether any preliminary services are needed, the severity of your misalignment, and how well you follow the guidelines provided. With all of that said, Damon braces in Bend typically deliver results faster than traditional braces. So, if you have a wedding or another important event on the horizon, it’s worth considering this innovative orthodontic treatment!
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Damon Braces?
Yes, there are a few foods we recommend avoiding, including hard pretzels, raw carrots, peanut brittle, caramel-filled candies, and taffy. This is important because, while crunchy foods can cause a bracket to break, sticky sweets can tug them out of place. So, it’s important that you fill your plate with softer, more nutrient-dense foods (i.e., plain yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal) in an effort to prevent dental damage and orthodontic emergencies.
Am I a Candidate for Damon Braces?
Do your teeth overlap due to the limited amount of room in your mouth? Maybe you’re dealing with the opposite problem: there is too much space, resulting in noticeable gaps. In both cases, Damon braces may be an option! The best way to find out is by scheduling an appointment with one of our dedicated orthodontists in Bend. That way, they can review your dental history, assess the severity of your misalignment, learn about your day-to-day routine, and, ultimately, determine if you’re a good candidate.
Can I Drink Coffee with Damon Braces?
If you love coffee, we have good news for you: you can continue to enjoy your morning or afternoon cup throughout your orthodontic treatment. Just make sure that you use a straw and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water when you’re done. In addition to reducing your risk of tooth decay, this will help prevent stubborn stains from developing on the surface of your teeth that isn’t covered by a bracket.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Damon Braces?
You might be surprised to hear this, but some dental plans do include orthodontic benefits. So, if you are insured and are interested in straightening your teeth, don’t hesitate to provide us with your membership information! Then, we can review the fine print, discuss your coverage, and provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket expenses.
