Damon braces at Antalya Dental Hospital, Turkey
Damon braces: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
High-quality results up to six months faster.
With Damon braces or Damon Clear, our specialist orthodontist at the Antalya Dental Hospital is able to deliver high-quality results up to six months faster than traditional braces.
Unlike traditional braces, the Damon Braces System is self-ligating which eliminates the need for elastics or metal ties that keep the wire in place. Elastics and metal ties produce friction and pressure that make the movement of the teeth a lot longer and less comfortable. Damon braces’ special slide mechanism and high-technology shape memory wires allow our orthodontist to move teeth quicker and in fewer, more spaced out appointments.

These can be used in most areas of the mouth. An inlay is small and placed within the biting surface of the tooth. An onlay can cover a larger area of the tooth. Gold is the most long-lasting and hard-wearing filling material and will last for many years. An advantage of gold is that it does not tarnish and has great strength.
One of the differences between gold and other filling materials is that the gold filling is made in a laboratory. Your dental team will usually take an impression of the prepared cavity and send it to the laboratory for the technician to make the inlay or onlay. In the meantime, a temporary filling will be placed in the cavity. After the gold inlay or onlay has been made, your dentist will fix it in place with dental cement. This type of filling is more expensive.
White fillings have always been considered less long-lasting than silver amalgam fillings. But there are now new materials available that are comparable to silver amalgam, and these are proving to be very successful. The life expectancy of a white filling can depend greatly on where it is in your mouth and how heavily your teeth come together when you bite. Your dental team can advise you on how long your fillings should last.
Your dental team will advise you on what kind of filling material is suited to your situation. Talk to them if you would like a particular type of filling material such as tooth-coloured fillings.
Always ask for a treatment plan and a written estimate before starting any treatment.
It is entirely up to you if you choose to tell your dentist about your sexual orientation, gender identity or trans status. However, it may be help your dentist if they are aware of your identity as many LGBT patients have health needs that non-LGBT patients don’t have. So if you do give your dental team more details about yourself, it may help them to treat you more effectively.
Telling your team about yourself will mean they are less likely to make assumptions about the gender of your partner or ask inappropriate questions about your life. It may also make you feel more confident that you are receiving the best care and the most appropriate treatment for you.
It is also helpful if the dental team know about any concerns or anxieties you may have, so that they can help you to feel at ease.
