Metal Braces | Braces Hot Springs | Hot Springs Metal Braces

Efficient & Effective

Traditional metal braces have been around for a long time, and they’re probably the most recognizable symbol of orthodontics in Hot Springs and the surrounding areas.

We’ve used braces to correct many oral issues for 50 years at Hall Orthodontics, and now we’re proud to offer you Damon Smile self-ligating braces.

A Straighter Smile Without Elastics

Metal braces continue to be the top orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages at Hall Orthodontics. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably.

Thanks to these innovative new braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible.

Tie-less braces help reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.

Damon Smile facilitates healthy tooth movement with complete control. By combining tie-less brackets and high-tech archwires, we can minimize discomfort and create beautiful smiles that last a lifetime.

With Damon braces, you can experience treatment without tightening, because Damon tie-less braces eliminate the need for elastic or metal "ties."

Convenience

Damon braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties, which attract and collect plaque, Damon braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment.

Plus, Damon Smile is available in clear brackets for patients around Hot Springs who want a great smile without sacrificing looks.

Treatment Time

While the time needed in braces will vary from case to case, treatment time with Damon Smile is typically much faster than with conventional braces.

Also, you’ll need fewer appointments during treatment at Hall Orthodontics, making your Damon experience convenient and hassle-free.

Comfort

Even though Damon Smile works so quickly, the use of gentle, low-friction force means less discomfort for you.

FAQS About Braces

How do braces work?

Before applying the brackets, the team at Hall Orthodontics will collect photos and X-rays of your mouth. We’ll use our iTero Element scanner to scan each of your teeth and the layout of your gums and mouth.

This process takes 10-15 minutes and provides an extremely accurate 3D view of your mouth.

After the X-Ray and optional scan, Dr. Hall will use this information to create your customized treatment plan. This will include how each tooth needs to be moved to get it in the best possible position.

Dr. Hall will decide how to place the brackets based on this information. For example, if you have some teeth that need to be tilted, the placement of those brackets will be different than the placement of brackets for teeth that need to be turned.

Once the brackets have been attached, Dr. Hall will insert the wire. Bends in the wire will provide different types of pressure on different teeth. A bend in the wire is how most orthodontists cause specific and precise movements.

What can I expect from today’s metal braces?

Metal braces have had a reputation for being awkward and obvious. But, because of modern orthodontics, you’ll benefit from versions that are smaller, less conspicuous, and more comfortable than ever before.

At Hall Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer Damon Smile braces technology to our patients of all ages in Hot Springs and surrounding areas.

Sleeker brackets and lighter wires improve the appearance and feel of these braces. This means you’ll have less irritation in your mouth. And the innovative technology eliminates the need for elastic ties, meaning less friction on your teeth.

Braces are great at fixing complex tooth issues for patients of all ages in Hot Springs and surrounding communities. They can work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other treatments might. This can potentially shorten your treatment time.

Metal braces are a cost-effective option because they don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments do.

The strength, durability, and affordability of traditional metal braces keep them the top treatment for orthodontic patients, year after year.

How long will I be in braces?

This is what everyone in Hot Springs wants to know, but it’s one we don’t have a concrete answer for. Every mouth is different, and every patient at Hall Orthodontics responds to treatment in their own way. Treatment time with metal braces will be different every time.

The average time spent in metal braces is around 18 to 22 months but could be shorter or longer, depending on the individual treatment plan from Dr. Hall.

At Hall Orthodontics, we have patients in braces for as little as six months. But for more complex issues, it can take over three years to complete the process.

With metal braces treatment from the team at Hall Orthodontics, you can see signs of improvement in just a short time, and that gives you confidence during the treatment process.
