Damon Orthodontic Barces in Surrey
Damon Braces in Surbiton Surrey
The Damon braces system is a revolutionary approach to orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces, which use elastic bands that create friction and pressure, Damon braces feature a sliding wire mechanism that eliminates the need for bands and elastics. This design reduces friction and discomfort to a minimum, applying a gentler, more consistent force to move your teeth comfortably while still delivering effective results.
Maintaining good dental hygiene during treatment is easier with Damon braces since there are no elastic bands to trap plaque. Additionally, treatment times are typically shorter, and fewer follow-up visits are required compared to conventional braces.

Damon Barces Treatment Stages
Stage 1: Consultation & Assessment
Your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth, bite, and facial structure to determine if Damon Braces are right for you. X-rays, photos, and digital scans are taken to plan your personalised treatment.
Stage 2: Fitting the Braces
Your custom Damon Braces are applied. The self-ligating brackets and memory-shaped wires are placed with precision to begin gently moving your teeth — with no elastic bands required.
Stage 3: Active Treatment Phase
Over the coming months, your teeth gradually move into alignment. You’ll have fewer adjustment visits compared to traditional braces, thanks to the low-friction system. Treatment times are typically faster and more comfortable.
Stage 4: Monitoring Progress
You’ll attend routine check-ups every 6–10 weeks. These are usually quicker and less invasive, as fewer manual adjustments are needed.
Stage 5: Braces Removal
Once your teeth have reached the desired position, your Damon Braces are removed. Your new smile will be assessed, and finishing touches may be made if needed.
Stage 6: Retention Phase
A custom retainer (removable or fixed) is provided to maintain your results. Wearing it as directed ensures your teeth stay beautifully aligned long-term.
Damon Braces vs. Traditional Dental Braces: The 5 Key Differences
Choosing the right type of braces comes down to a few major factors. Here’s a simplified side-by-side breakdown of Damon Braces vs. traditional braces, explained clearly in the same sentence for each main attribute:
Design & Mechanism–Damon Braces use a self-ligating system with built-in clips that hold the wire, while traditional braces use elastic ties to secure the wire to each bracket.
Comfort & Hygiene–Damon Braces tend to be more comfortable and easier to clean due to lower friction and no elastic ties, whereas traditional braces can cause more irritation and trap food around the elastics.
Appearance–Damon Braces are available in smaller metal or clear brackets for a more discreet look, while traditional braces are more visible with larger metal brackets and coloured elastics.
Cost & Convenience–Damon Braces are usually more expensive but may require fewer office visits, while traditional braces are more affordable upfront but often need more frequent adjustments.
Availability—Damon Braces are not offered by all orthodontists, whereas traditional braces are available at virtually every orthodontic practice.

“I’ve been visiting the team at SSC for 9 months or so. My treatment included a front tooth implant plus upper and lower alignment. From start to finish the team were fantastic – especially good with appointment times, availability and patient communication. I’ve recently concluded my treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I’d highly recommend to someone looking for first class cosmetic dental treatment. Thank you Simin, Theo, Claudia, Fernanda and Wendy.”
“Really happy with this practice – Dr Soltani is lovely and a very good dentist. Waiting times are close to none and the staff are professional and friendly. I did a teeth whitening treatment with the Enlighten method and worked amazingly.”
“She was brilliant. She explained exactly what she was doing. Reassured me thoroughly and I felt at ease. Considering it was Good Friday and in the evening, the price was very fair. If you are in need of a Dentist, then definitely call them.”
I had my Invisalign treatment here and am very pleased with the results. This was with the recommendation of Sure Smile aligners which have worked well. Special thanks to resident orthodontist Theo, Simin and the rest of the team as they are all very professional and friendly.
Dr Soltani and her team at Surbiton Smile Centre has given me exceptional service over the last 5 years. The whole team are highly experienced as well as very friendly. I have done an implant, a crown and braces – all treatments were of first-class. I will certainly continue to let them look after my dental health and strongly recommend Surbiton Smile Centre!
I have been going to Surbiton Smile Centre for nearly 20 years, that is surely testament to their service, friendliness, advice and overall experience. Fine fine work Simin and Wendy!
Dr Simin Soltani and the Surbiton Smile Centre team have been world class. The professionalism, quality of treatment, and customer experience have been exemplary.
I needed quite a bit of dental work so went to a few different surgeries to get their opinions. I chose Surbiton Smile Centre because Dr Soltani actually gave me options – all of which would work to varying degrees and, significantly, to varying costs. She took the time to try the most cost-effective option, but always with the possibility of shifting course if needed. Eventually, to get my teeth decently functional, I needed quite a few crowns – including on front teeth. She allowed me time to get used to the adjustments as the process went on, and always made sure each stage was both comfortable and looked good. I am very pleased with the result, again both aesthetically and functionally. Would most heartily recommend!
I recommend my dentist, Simin with the highest regard. Over the years, she has transformed my problematic mouth to a smile of stable, healthy teeth.
Simin has restored an old implant for me and also inserted a new one. She has helped me with crowns and also replaced old black fillings with natural looking white ones. Simin has always been very professional, kind and helpful.
Thank you Simin!
