What are Damon braces?

Damon braces are fixed braces where small brackets are bonded to the teeth and a high-tech, shape-memory wire guides the teeth into position. The key difference is the self-ligating design — the bracket holds the wire without the usual elastic ties, which can reduce friction and keep things feeling simpler and cleaner.

There are two main options:

  • Damon Ultima (metal braces)
  • Damon Clear (tooth-coloured/clear braces)

Angus also uses other fixed brace systems when they are better suited to the teeth, bite and goals of treatment. Damon braces are a popular choice in Fareham — and Angus chose Damon braces for his own orthodontic treatment, so he understands the experience from the patient’s side too.

Are Damon braces noticeable?

Damon braces can be very discreet, particularly the clear option. Damon Ultima (metal) tends to look smaller and neater than traditional metal braces, while Damon Clear is designed to blend in and can be difficult to spot in photos.

Why choose Damon braces?

Damon braces are a popular option for children, teenagers and adults because they combine the reliability of fixed braces with a modern, low-friction system.

  • Efficient and precise: fixed braces are excellent for correcting crowding, spacing and bite problems.
  • Comfort-focused design: the self-ligating system can reduce friction compared with traditional braces.
  • Discreet options: choose metal (Damon Ultima) or tooth-coloured/clear (Damon Clear).
  • Easier cleaning: fewer elastic ties can make day-to-day cleaning feel simpler.

Are Damon braces suitable for teenagers and adults?

Yes. Damon braces are commonly used for teenagers and adults and can treat crowding, spacing and a wide range of bite problems.

Do I need to see a specialist orthodontist for Damon braces?

Fixed braces can be provided by dentists, but specialist orthodontic planning is particularly valuable where bite correction, complex tooth movement and long-term stability matter.

”I love my smile now, I am more confident and don’t mind showing my teeth. The service was excellent and Angus always kept me informed about everything he was doing and why he was carrying out the treatment. Don’t wait (if you’re considering having brace treatment), to be able to smile with confidence is a feeling I cannot put into words, apart from “it’s amazing.“

All done, and a great result much faster than you think.”
