Treatments

Interceptive Care

Early intervention or phase 1 treatment is performed at an age when a patient has both primary and permanent teeth; this is referred to as mixed dentition. Treatment at this stage of growth has many advantages like avoiding permanent tooth loss, enhancing facial growth, improving airway architecture, and reducing treatment times while improving the possibilities to achieve better results for future treatment

Adolescent Care

Adolescents are another special age group that requires specific attention. With any treatment, patient participation and commitment are crucial. With this age group, we work extra hard to gain patient engagement. Dr. Seligman will make sure teen patients understand the WHY’s behind their treatment and how important their participation is to reach a favorable outcome. Using Damon technology, we can cut down treatment time while maintaining a high-quality outcome and avoiding permanent tooth extractions. This way, our teens can enjoy their results in less time and with fewer interruptions to their lifestyle!

Adult Care

At Seligman Orthodontics, we love adult patients! We enjoy having discussions about different treatment options and outweighing the advantages and disadvantages of each. Some adult cases come with complex challenges that can only be addressed through a collaborative effort between several specialists and we are fully prepared to successfully face these challenging cases. Adult cases often come with periodontal or other restorative issues caused by the natural aging process. Some adult patients may have uncompleted orthodontic treatment from when they were children or teens. It is also common for adults to have lost permanent teeth to extractions or trauma and are now seeing a collapse of their dental arches and supporting facial features.

Whatever the problem, we work together with each of our patients to design a custom treatment plan. We then explain in detail our recommendations for treatment and set realistic expectations for the final results. Adults are the largest growing group of individuals seeking orthodontic care. Dr. Seligman collaborates with experts in all areas to implement a comprehensive treatment plan that fits the needs and goals of his adult patients. This collaborative multi-disciplinary effort is one of Dr. Seligman’s favorite aspects of orthodontics.

The Damon System Bracelift™ is the term we use to refer to the final result which is not limited to straight teeth. Patients also benefit from a broader, natural smile that is fitting with facial features and does not appear artificial in nature.

The broadening of the dental arches increases the space for the tongue within the oral cavity. This can lead to more favorable tongue posturing and improvements with snoring and sleeping in some patients. Dr. Seligman is not a physician and does not claim to be a so-called sleep expert. However, Dr. Seligman’s patients report increased quality of sleep, increased ability to breathe through their nasal passages, and improved levels of energy. This can all be explained by the improved architecture of their oral cavities which resulted from orthodontic treatment.

Damon System is appropriate for children, adolescents, and adults to achieve beautiful results in a reduced period of time and with a high level of comfort than ever imagined possible.

Quicker Results

The Damon System has been proven in clinical studies to achieve results 20% faster than traditional braces. This is possible with the innovative passive self-ligation (PSL) which is used to fix the archwire to the brackets. Traditional brackets require a metal or elastic tie to hold the archwire in place on the bracket. This antiquated system causes friction on the force created by the archwire and therefore slows down tooth movement. The Damon system relies instead on a small gate/door that secures the archwire in place while still allowing it to slide freely as the teeth move.

Advantages

Better Oral Hygiene
Since the Damon System utilizes a tiny and hygienic “gate” that decreases the ability to attract dental plaque, it is easier to keep braces clean. This gate is a part of the brace themselves and does come into contact with the tooth surface or enamel. This decreases the risk of enamel decalcifications or permanent “white spot” markings which can result from poor hygiene practices while in treatment.

Proven Greater Patient Comfort
In studies, patients treated with the Damon System reported 60% less discomfort than those being treated with conventional braces. The same studies found that patient acceptance and enthusiasm about the Damon technique was also overwhelmingly positive.

Damon Aesthetic Option

Damon Clear is an aesthetic option offered by the Damon System. Damon Clear offers the same tieless brackets with innovative archwire technology, the fast and favorable results, and same comfort than the rest of the Damon System. However, Damon Clear has an important advantage: it is almost invisible due to its clear formulation.

Dr. Seligman was one of the first doctors in the United States to use the Damon Clear braces. He and his team were invited to participate in the clinical trials for this new tool. Their valuable feedback was key to the improvement and launch of the product world-wide.
