Recently, some of my team members and myself attended the Damon Forum. The Damon Forum is a yearly educational meeting where hundreds of Damon orthodontists and their team members get together to discuss the most modern techniques for treating our patients to achieve the best and most functional smiles possible.
Dr. Dwight Damon, the creator of this amazing braces system kicks off each meeting and teaches us all the new and unique innovations that he and his team are working on. He reviewed the newest brace system called the DQ Damon brace. This brace is smaller than the last bracket system and has a number of upgrades over the last brace in both design and function. We have been using this new and improved DQ brace now and can tell you it is just awesome.

While we were there, we also attended a number of courses dealing with improving the esthetics of our patient’s smiles. I went to a bracket placement course, taught by Dr. Tom Pitts (second to Dr. Damon, the most experienced Damon practitioner in the country). Dr. Pitts taught us a whole new way to place the front teeth brackets to improve the smile and make it appear more broad and beautiful.
We also went to numerous other courses focused on clinical efficiency. Essentially, this is the best treatment methods to treat our patients with fewer visits and ultimately finish our patients faster with the best results possible. Bracket placement, early rubber band use and using a certain wire sequence was highlighted during the seminar, and we have implemented many of these ideas into our office and we are already seeing tremendous results.
The Damon Forum is one of the most interesting and informative lectures of the year. Most of you already know about the advantages of the Damon System such as:
1. Less visits—shorter treatment times
2. No tightening
3. Less discomfort
4. Rarely ever do we need to extract teeth
5. No Headgear
6. Cleaner (less chance of scars and marks)
7. Beautiful, broad smiles (the ultimate advantage)
Since I have begun using the Damon System I have been amazed at the results and the speed of which the system works. I believe this if the most effective system I have ever used, and as always will continue to give my patients the best treatments available.
Your partner in smiles,
Dr. Kaufman
