Self-ligating braces β fewer visits, often shorter treatment.
Certified Damon System orthodontics at our Al Barsha 1 clinic β 5 minutes from Mall of the Emirates. Lower friction, no elastic bands, often shorter treatment time than traditional braces.
Damon System is a self-ligating bracket β the bracket itself holds the wire directly via a small sliding gate, removing the need for the elastic ligatures used in traditional braces. The benefits add up: lower friction during tooth movement, fewer adjustment appointments, easier oral hygiene, and often a shorter overall treatment time. We are a certified Damon provider in Al Barsha 1.

No best system overall: The right choice depends on your case complexity, lifestyle, and budget. We will recommend honestly after a free consultation β sometimes Damon, sometimes Invisalign, sometimes traditional braces is the better answer.

Outstanding experience at Tooth Tastic! From the moment I arrived I was impressed by how clean and welcoming the clinic was. Dr Mohammed and Joy were incredibly friendly, gentle, and made me feel completely at ease. Every step of my treatment was thoroughly explained. I'm beyond happy with my results.Read more
Damon braces are a self-ligating bracket system. The bracket itself locks onto the wire, eliminating the need for the elastic bands used in traditional braces. The result is less friction on the teeth, fewer adjustment appointments, often shorter treatment time, and easier hygiene.
Yes. Tooth-Tastic in Al Barsha 1 is a certified Damon System provider, meaning our team is trained and authorised to deliver Damon orthodontic treatment.
Three main differences. (1) No elastic bands β the bracket holds the wire directly. (2) Lower friction means teeth move with less pressure. (3) Fewer appointments β adjustments are typically every 8β10 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. Traditional braces are still highly effective and more affordable; Damon adds convenience and often time savings.
Damon braces are fixed (always working, no compliance required) and excellent for complex cases including significant rotations and bite issues. Invisalign is removable and virtually invisible β better for adults with mild to moderate cases who prioritise discretion. We will assess and honestly recommend the right option at your free consultation.
Many patients report less discomfort with Damon than traditional braces because the lower friction means gentler tooth movement. Some soreness for 2β3 days after fitting and after each adjustment is still normal β easily managed with standard pain relief.
Most cases complete in 12β18 months. The combination of low-friction wires and self-ligating brackets often shaves time off compared to traditional braces. Your treatment plan will give you an accurate timeline after the digital scan and X-ray.
Standard Damon braces use stainless steel brackets β visible but slim. Damon Clear uses tooth-coloured ceramic brackets that blend with your enamel β much less visible, popular with adult patients. We discuss both at the consultation.
Yes, in every case. Without a retainer, teeth drift back. We fit Hawley, clear (Vivera-style), or fixed lingual retainers β see our retainers page for details.
