Can adults get Damon braces too?

Yes—many adults choose Damon for a discreet, efficient result without relying on aligner compliance.

How painful are Damon braces?

Mild discomfort is common for 2–3 days after adjustments, generally milder than with traditional braces due to Damon's lighter, more continuous force.

How often will I need to visit the orthodontist with Damon braces?

Damon is fixed and doesn't rely on wear compliance, while aligners offer removability. Damon's fewer required adjustments mean visits are typically spaced further apart than with traditional braces, and it can be more cost-effective for complex cases.
