  A Radical New Movement in Orthodontics 

The Damon SL System was designed and developed through a team effort of Dr. Dwight Damon and "A" Company (now Ormco). The Damon SL Bracket is a self-ligating bracket that enhances quality treatment while maximizing efficiency. Optimal tooth movement and patient comfort are built into the Damon SL System. A unique, integral ligating slide allows the archwire to move freely, dramatically reducing friction. Reduced friction enables the use of lighter forces to move the patient's teeth more comfortably.

FASTER TREATMENT BY DESIGN

The Damon SL System was designed to achieve specific efficiency goals for fast, controlled treatment. These include an integral ligating slide for quicker archwire changes, and a reduced friction bracket that moves teeth into rapid alignment with optimal sliding mechanics.  A Straight-Wire® Appliance with a twin-style design, the Damon SL bracket provides clinical control and allows us to finish a case using our current treatment mechanics. Together these features work to produce the desired effects: reduced chair time, shorter treatment time, and happier patients - all of which add up to a radically improved appliance for the orthodontic practice of the future.
