A member asked:
Can you tell me, are damon braces suitable for every patient?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Type of gadget less important than training and experience of practitioner. Find the best orthodontic specialist in your area and discuss which appliance will best treat your individual problem. Be careful of non-orthodontist snake oil salesmen.

Yes if you need them: Although I agree that it is the orthodontist that makes the treatment, not the brace, Damon braces do have benefits over traditional braces. As an analogy, both a Camaro and a Tesla are cars. Yet they have very different technology behind them. And ultimately, it is the driver that makes the biggest difference.
