Treatments/Braces

Damon Braces

Self-ligating brackets, with nothing to tie and nothing to discolor.

A self-ligating clip holds the archwire instead of elastic ties, so there is nothing to discolor between appointments. Metal or clear brackets.

How it works here

Four steps.

Braces and aligner models on the consultation table at SC Orthodontics

    Free consultation

    X-rays and digital scans, included, with the diagnosis and the exact fee before you decide.

  2. 02

    Placement

    Teeth are cleaned and prepared, the brackets are bonded to each tooth, then the archwire is engaged in the clips. One appointment.

  3. 03

    Adjustments with Dr. Haykani

    Your initial retainers are included, and she checks the finish before treatment is called done.

Who it suits

Common questions

Damon Braces, answered.

Anything else, call or text. You will hear back the same day.

  • Damon braces are priced like our other braces: typically about $1,500 less than the Invisalign fee for the same case. Your exact fee is quoted at your free consultation, with 0% financing.

  • A self-ligating clip built into each bracket holds the archwire instead of elastic bands, so the wire can slide within the bracket as teeth move. Dr. Haykani chooses the bracket system for your case, and Damon is one of several she uses.

  • Yes, for teenagers and adults alike. Dr. Haykani evaluates your bite at the consultation and confirms that the mechanics suit your case.

  • They feel much like other braces. Mild soreness for the first few days after placement or an adjustment is normal, and it settles quickly.

  • Often every 8 to 10 weeks, set around your treatment plan. Dr. Haykani sees you at each one.

  • Yes. Damon comes in metal or clear brackets, and Dr. Haykani will advise which suits your bite forces best.

  • Most foods, yes. Saving hard, sticky, and very chewy favorites for after treatment keeps brackets and wires working exactly as designed, and we send you home with clear guidance.

  • Often 12 to 24 months, depending on the case. Dr. Haykani gives you a timeline for your own case, and if treatment needs more time, that time is included in your fee.

  • Most patients adjust within a few days with very little impact on speech or daily life.

  • They correct a wide range of alignment and bite issues. Dr. Haykani assesses your case and recommends the system that will give your case the best finish.

  • Request an appointment online, or call or text (661) 425-0559. New patients are usually seen within the week, with Sunday and evening appointments available.
