Dr. Oppenhuizen utilizes the Damon System to achieve our aesthetic goals. The Damon System is both highly efficient and consistently effective and it provides a powerful niche in our practice to provide superior care and service.

Check out this video (also in our Multimedia section called Damon System Function). The video shows how the Damon system works to move teeth, enhance dental arch shape and improve smile aesthetics.

The Damon System features a creative mechanical structure: a passive conduit that permits low force wires to work in conjunction with the muscles of the face, tongue, bone and tissue. The combination of low forces and reduced friction minimize discomfort and greatly increase the types of cases that can be treated without supplemental high-force expansion devices or extractions.

The Damon System is a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment due to a unique orthodontic bracket which is attached to the teeth. Traditional braces use wires or elastics to hold the wire in the bracket. The Damon bracket utilizes a sliding mechanism (like a trap door) over the bracket which allows the wire to be secured to the bracket without the need for ties. Ties greatly increase the friction.


Dr Oppenhuizen has discovered that the Damon system works best on patients with extensive crowding, and narrow smiles. It is also well suited for closing large spaces between the teeth like you see in these photos.



Damon brackets are beneficial for patients of all ages. Adult patients benefit from them because of the low forces and can now enjoy faster treatment than ever before. Damon brackets are also indicated for patients with periodontal (gum) problems due to the light forces they deliver. As a result treatment may be finished in less time, with fewer visits and less discomfort than ever before.



Due to our commitment to patient satisfaction and state of the art treatment we offer a cosmetic (clear) bracket for the front teeth in the Damon system.
