Braces

We’re proud to offer Damon® braces at Modern Zen Orthodontics. The state-of-the-art system relies on tie-less brackets and very light forces to achieve exceptional results more quickly and comfortably.

Cutting-Edge Damon® Braces in Germantown, MD

At Modern Zen Orthodontics, Dr. Robles utilizes the advanced Damon Braces System. Unlike traditional or conventional braces that hold the wires using elastic colored ties, this system uses gentle, light forces – up to 500-600 times less force – to move teeth naturally, effectively, and safely. With Damon Braces, we achieve outstanding results while prioritizing your comfort and oral health.

The benefits of Damon braces include a shorter treatment time compared to conventional braces, a broader, more natural smile, and, often, avoiding the use of headgear, and permanent tooth extractions. These self-ligating braces also encourage healthier teeth and gums by eliminating elastic ties that develop harmful bacteria, attract plaque and increase the propensity for cavities. Experience the difference for yourself!

What are Damon Braces?
