Self-Ligating Braces in Beaverton, OR
Straighten your smile with advanced, low-profile self-ligating braces designed for efficiency and comfort. Traditional metal braces have helped millions of people, but orthodontic treatments have improved significantly over the years. Here at Ensley Orthodontics, we proudly offer Damon Braces as our best options for patients looking to straighten their teeth.
A Modern Choice for Braces
At Ensley Orthodontics, we know that today’s patients want the best results with the least hassle. Self-ligating braces offer an innovative solution for teens and adults looking for a more comfortable and streamlined orthodontic experience. Featuring the cutting-edge Pitts 21™ system, our self-ligating braces minimize friction, reduce treatment time, and give you fewer interruptions to your busy life—all while delivering outstanding results.
Why Choose Self-Ligating Braces?
Self-ligating braces are built to move teeth more efficiently than traditional braces by using a special slide mechanism instead of elastic ties. This design allows the archwire to move freely, meaning your teeth shift with lighter forces and less friction. The brackets are smaller, smoother, and easier to maintain, making self-ligating braces a preferred option for many of our Beaverton patients.
Experience the Benefits of Damon Braces
At Ensley Orthodontics, we proudly offer Damon Braces. This innovative system transforms how we align your teeth, providing a better experience from your first appointment to your final result.
Choosing Damon Braces provides several distinct advantages for your treatment:
- Greater comfort: Damon Braces eliminate the need for elastic or metal ties. This places significantly less pressure on your teeth and gums, making your treatment much more comfortable.
- Faster results: The unique design often allows your teeth to move into their correct positions more quickly than traditional braces, shortening your overall treatment time.
- Fewer office visits: Because the system guides your teeth continuously, you require fewer adjustment appointments. This saves you valuable time away from work or school.
- Easier cleaning: Without elastic ties that trap plaque and food, you can brush and floss your teeth much more easily throughout your treatment.
How Does Self-Ligating Treatment Work?
Traditional braces use tiny rubber bands to hold the archwire in place. These bands create friction and require your orthodontist to use stronger forces to move your teeth.
Damon Braces use a specialized self-ligating slide mechanism instead. This built-in door holds the wire naturally, allowing your teeth to move freely and comfortably. By reducing friction and binding, this technology delivers a much gentler, continuous force. You achieve a broader, more natural smile without the heavy pressure associated with older treatments.
What to Expect During Treatment
Once your braces are placed, you’ll come in for quick progress checks throughout treatment—typically every 6-8 weeks. Most patients at Ensley Orthodontics complete treatment in 12 to 24 months*, though timelines vary based on your unique smile needs.
We care deeply about your comfort and your results. Our team will guide you through every step of your treatment, ensuring you feel confident and supported.
