We are so excited to offer our friends and neighbors in Northeastern Illinois the Damon System. These are special self-ligating braces designed to move your teeth more comfortably and efficiently than traditional options. If you want a smile that feels as great as it looks, this advanced technology is a fantastic choice.
How Self-Ligating Braces Work
Traditional braces use elastic ties to hold wires in place, which can sometimes create friction and pressure. The Damon System uses a unique slide mechanism that lets the wire move freely. This strategic design helps your teeth glide into position more naturally and makes it much easier to keep your smile clean while you’re in treatment.
Why We Love Them for Our Patients
- A broader smile. This system is designed to create a full, natural smile arc that looks beautiful and flowing.
- Fewer visits to the office. Because there are no elastic ties to replace, you’ll need fewer adjustments. That means more time back in your busy day!
- Enhanced comfort. The high-tech, light-force wires move teeth with less pressure than conventional braces.
- Simplified care. Without the tiny elastics that trap plaque, brushing and flossing are much simpler.
Associated Orthodontists Reviews
We've had nothing but a great experience with AO. Both kids have new smiles thanks to them. Would highly recommend them to anyone that asks.
Excellent provider, very friendly staff, well explained everything, we are so happy with the results and my son loves his new smile 😁
Associated Orthodontists were always upfront about cost, timing, and next steps in the braces process with both my son and daughter. Their teeth are gorgeous and im so pleased. Highly recommend!
Absolutely loved everything about this place. My daughter who is 9 years old, was encouraged the entire 7 months to practice good hygiene, take care of her braces to have a great smile. Would recommend this place 100% to anyone. Thank you!!!!
We have been so happy with our experience and the entire staff! My 10-year-old son had a great first visit as a new patient. He was a little nervous, but everyone was so patient, kind, and reassuring, taking the time to explain everything to him and make him feel comfortable. Dr. Ramir has been wonderful as well! We’re so glad we found such a great office and highly recommend them!

Common Questions About Self-Ligating Braces
Are Damon braces faster than traditional braces?
Every smile journey is different, but many of our patients find they finish their treatment faster with the Damon System. In some cases, we can reach those awesome results months sooner than with older methods. Visit us at Associated Orthodontists for customized support!
Do Damon braces hurt less?
Because the Damon System uses a "low-friction" design, it is much gentler on your mouth. You may still feel some light pressure as your teeth move, but most people find it a much more comfortable experience overall.
How much do Damon braces cost?
We believe cutting-edge technology should be accessible for every family. The cost is usually very similar to traditional braces. We’ll provide a clear, customized quote during your visit.
