Braces
Braces in Smyrna & Brentwood
Braces are an effective way to straighten your teeth, correct overcrowding issues, adjust bite problems and enhance the appearance of your smile. Since every smile is unique, there are various braces options available to meet your specific needs.
One option is Damon System braces, which are a comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces and Invisalign®. Schedule a free braces consultation with our family orthodontists in Brentwood and Smyrna, Tennessee!
How do Damon braces work?
Although not named for our founder, Dr. Damon Barbieri, the Damon System is a state-of-the-art braces treatment. Like other braces types, Damon braces’ main goal is to straighten your teeth. However, the main difference between Damon self-ligating braces and traditional braces is how they’ll straighten your teeth.
Damon braces use a specialized bracket to connect to the wire on your teeth. Rather than the orthodontist tightening your braces to align your teeth into place, Damon braces use a sliding mechanism. This design aspect can make the realigning process more comfortable than traditional methods. When your Smyrna or Brentwood orthodontist attaches this sliding mechanism to the archwire on the brackets, your teeth will move into place gently and organically, leading to more effective and permanent final results.
Clear braces vs. metal braces
We offer two types of Damon braces in Smyrna and Brentwood to meet your needs and preferences. We offer both types as options for braces for kids and teens or adult braces.
- Damon metal braces: Damon metal braces are low-profile and feature a powerful self-ligating system that keeps up with almost any lifestyle.
- Damon clear braces: Damon clear braces, also known as ceramic braces, are a transparent way to straighten teeth comfortably. This invisible braces option also uses self-ligation technology to minimize friction for efficient tooth movement.

Appearance
The Damon System does not need elastic ties, making them a discreet option. Patients can also request clear braces for a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. For those who would like to give their Damon braces some personality, you can use the optional elastic ties to pick the best braces colors for your style. Kids love changing their braces colors at each appointment!
Convenient & effective
Damon braces require fewer adjustments throughout the treatment process, meaning fewer visits to the orthodontist. These braces also don’t have as many parts as traditional braces, leading to fewer chances for damage or problems and increased effectiveness, which leads to a shorter treatment time.
Improved oral hygiene
During treatment, your teeth will experience less friction to reduce your risk of tooth erosion. Cleaning Damon braces is also easier than traditional braces, making it easier to clean your teeth and reducing the risk of cavities.
