Has anyone ever been had orthodontia treatment using the Damon Braces/Brackets?

Thanks in advance for any comments!

it sucks because as it gives no pain (i heard it happends to most people) you dont know if your teeth are moving or not

only joking

I have had them for 9.5 months on top and almost 6 months bottom, no pain issues, no troubles with them at all.

Now i don't have any other type of braces to compare them with so i can't really say with first hand experience that they are any better then standard braces. But from my experience with them i definitely recommend them. I had very crowded teeth on the bottom and they are almost perfect now not even 6 months later with no extractions.

I've had them for a year now, and so far it's been a good experience. Not major pain, no extractions and fast movement. But I don't have any reference for comparison, so I can't say they are any better that other types of braces. I chose this ortho because I could avoid extractions and palate appliances, not because of damons. For me, the only negative part is that they are metal and not clear, a part from that, they're ok. At least for me they are working great with little discomfort.

Thanks for all the replies. I got mine on yesterday and it is rather uncomfortable and annoying at the same time. Eating is a you-know-what. I have a long road a-ho but am trying to stay positive and look forward to 18 or so months from now!
