The Damon orthodontic system has persisted since 1995 with his version of a self-ligating bracket and has fundamentally changed the types of arch wires and the sequence in which clinicians use them. Dr. Damon's experience has shown that with many patients he can often eliminate distalisation of molars, extractions (excluding those needed to reduce bimaxillary protrusions) and rapid palatal expansion. He offers compelling clinical evidence of doing this with consistency.The Damon bracket is essentially a tube designed with the right dimensions to foster sliding mechanics where needed and enough play in the system for torque and rotational control using the larger cross section wires.
