Ask Dr. Mike: Why the Damon™ System?

Dr. Mike Hilgers and our dedicated team are pleased to offer our patients The Damon® System. Damon braces allow your teeth to move more comfortably and easily than traditional braces. Thanks to these innovative new braces, achieving your perfect smile will be faster and easier than you ever thought possible.

You're probably thinking, "All right, Dr. Mike. Give me the specifics on how Damon braces are an advantage."

Time-Saving

Damon's innovative technology of self-ligating braces saves you time in orthodontic treatment. The Damon system allows for fewer trips to Hilgers Orthodontics, as well as faster movement of your teeth than with traditional braces. The light forces applied by Damon braces are "biologically compatible" meaning that they work with your body for gentler and quicker tooth movement.

Comfortable

Damon System braces have a unique slide mechanism that allows Dr. Hilgers to use far lighter forces to move teeth to their correct positions. That makes your treatment not only shorter, but it is also far more comfortable.

Because of its unique sliding door, the Damon bracket allows us to use high-tech, light-force wires to achieve tooth movement. This means less pressure on your teeth for more comfortable treatment. Not every orthodontist uses Damon self-ligating braces. The reason Dr. Hilgers does is simple: it means your experience in uncovering your radiant new smile will be more comfortable and convenient than ever.

To learn more about the Damon System, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Hilgers, please give us a call.

Yelp reviews for Dr. Mike and Hilgers Orthodontics

Last week, Dr. Mike and our team shared a few generous reviews written by our patients. This morning, we noticed a new patient review on our Yelp listing. Here's what the patient - Ken W. - had to say:

As an ER physician, I expect a lot from other healthcare providers (especially when it comes to my children), and I have the highest respect for Hilgers Orthodontics. I recently moved from Arizona to Chicago, but I expect that when my next kid needs braces, I'll be returning to Arizona to visit Dr. Mike again.

The office is a fun environment, the staff is friendly, and Dr. Mike is one of the most highly trained orthodontists (he trained at Yale). I have great confidence that he yields the best results, and that going out to Goodyear for treatment by Dr. Mike would be totally worth it.

If you have any reviews of Hilgers Orthodontics you'd like to share with the world, please take some time and review us on Yelp. Or, you could always write up a review on our Google Local page. Either way, Dr. Mike and our team appreciate our patients and their testimonials! Happy Monday!
