FOREST HILLS, NY ORTHODONTIST OFFERS THE DAMON SMILE
Introduced less than a year ago, the Damon® Smile, offers a wonderful option in Forest Hills, NY orthodontic treatment that is minimally invasive yet extremely effective.
In fact, I recommend it to all my patients, especially those with sensitivities. Since the braces are smaller and smoother than conventional braces, the Damon® Smile is less likely to irritate lips and cheeks, making them generally more comfortable and gentler.
FOREST HILLS, NY ORTHODONTIST PROVIDES COMFORT DURING TREATMENT
Also, if a patient requires a tooth extraction, the Damon® Smile is my first go-to since it’s able to create space better than conventional braces. They are in the category of “self-lighting” or “self-litigating” braces which use a sliding-door technology that allows the wire to easily slide back and forth within the bracket. There is no need for elastic or steel ties with these braces. This technology creates less friction and promotes greater comfort during treatment. And here’s the best part: this type of braces often reduces the amount of time in treatment and the total number of adjustments that will usually be needed. That means less trips to the orthodontist.
FOREST HILLS, ORTHODONTIST TRAINED ON DAMON SYSTEM
I have been trained in the Damon System of braces since my residency program in 2006 and I am proud to be among the few orthodontists in Queens, Long Island and Brooklyn who has expertise with the Damon Smile. It’s slightly more expensive than conventional braces, but if you are looking for a quicker treatment, more comfort and fewer appointments to the orthodontist, this may be your best option.
In addition to the Damon Smile, I also use the latest in orthodontic technology such as Invisalign (or “invisible braces”), lingual braces, orthodontic micro-implants, and laser treatments to create the most harmonious smile for you, based on your facial features and bone structure. My treatment plans are personalized and tailor-made for each individual, as every smile is a masterpiece and no two patients are exactly alike.
