Braces in Palm Desert & Yucca Valley
Discover the Benefits of Damon Self-Ligating Braces
At Schantz & Moranda Orthodontic Care, we proudly offer Damon Self-Ligating Braces — a modern, high-performance alternative to traditional metal braces. Designed for faster treatment times, fewer office visits, and greater comfort, Damon Braces use a passive self-ligating system that eliminates the need for elastic ties. This advanced technology allows your teeth to move more freely and efficiently, often reducing the need for extractions or palatal expanders.
Whether you’re a teen starting orthodontic care or an adult seeking a straighter smile, Damon Braces provide outstanding results with less hassle. We offer customized treatment plans from our Palm Desert and Yucca Valley offices, with flexible scheduling and a family-friendly atmosphere.
How Damon Braces Are Different
Damon Braces are engineered for comfort and precision. Here's how they stand apart:
- No elastic ties: Less friction and easier to keep clean
- Faster treatment time: In many cases, treatment can be completed months earlier than with traditional braces
- Fewer office visits: Wires need fewer adjustments, saving you time
- Broader arch development: Results in a more natural, fuller smile
- Gentle, low-force movement: Enhances comfort throughout treatment
Compared to conventional metal braces, Damon Braces deliver a more efficient experience with beautiful, lasting results.
