 The Latest Weapons in the Anti-aging Arsenal
(ARA) - With the graying of the “baby boom” generation, the quest to look younger has become more urgent
and widespread than ever before. Men and women alike are listening to their doctor’s advice to eat healthier
and exercise, but they’re not always happy with the results, so they’re turning to artificial means to improve
their looks.
Facelifts and lip augmentations are among the more popular options available, but not everyone wants to undergo an expen-sive, invasive procedure to improve their looks. Instead, a growing number of adults are investing in high-tech braces as their new anti-
aging weapon.
In fact, according to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in five orthodontic patients in the United States are now
adults. Tammy Bell-Maring, who got braces for the first time at the age of 41, is one of them.
“I can see how a full smile has made a dramatic change in my whole face,” she says. Prior to treatment, Bell-Maring noticed
her smile was changing, which made her look older. She entered treatment to correct overcrowding and her bite -- and found
the results went beyond straight teeth. Her face was transformed with a broader smile, fuller lips and better proportioned nose
for a more youthful profile.
She didn’t undergo the traditional orthodontic treatment that uses metal or elastic ligatures to hold archwires in place though.
She turned to Dr. Dwight Damon, inventor of the Damon System, which combines patented self-ligating brackets, technologically advanced shape memory wire and a treatment concept to gently and quickly move teeth to their desired positions. The gentle
pressure virtually eliminates the need to remove permanent teeth to make space, and patients are
rarely required to wear headgear or use rapid palatal expanders.
“As I travel across the country meeting with doctors using this new technology, I hear how excited they are to be producing
beautiful, long-lasting smiles for their adult patients, even those with extreme cases that in the past might have required
tooth extractions or surgery,” says Dr. Damon.
“I felt this system was the best, most healthy method available to change the areas of my face affected by age,” adds Bell-Maring. “After treatment, there was more than a physical difference in my face. Something inside me changed and I’m now
able to walk into a room and present myself differently because I know I look good.”
The Damon System is the fastest-growing braces system on the market today and has special appeal for adults who yearn
for a more youthful appearance. The Bracelift produces a full smile and strengthens mid-face support, which can counteract
the visible signs of aging by reducing smile wrinkles, creating fuller lips and providing a more youthful profile for many adults.
Many patients begin to see these dramatic results in as little as ten weeks.
In addition to its unprecedented results, the Damon System offers shorter treatment time, a more comfortable experience
and a discreet look. Treatment is typically six months faster than with other technologies, with up to seven fewer office visits,
which makes the system convenient for busy schedules.
