Worth Considering: This system has significant advantages over other traditional metal braces. Advantages are: reduced treatment time, need fewer adjustments and they do not require rubber bands. However, make sure your doctor is allowing you to make informed decisions.

See a pro: General dentist's who do braces are not as trains or as skilled as Orthodontic Specialists. An Orthodontist knows that the training and skill of the operator is more important then the gadget. Lingual appliances take longer to treat. Damon appliances tend to flare teeth outward. Please seek a specialist's opinion.
