Damon braces are fairly similar to other kinds of fixed braces. They are made up of wires that are held firmly in place by brackets that are attached to the teeth. While traditional braces make use of elastic bands (ligatures) to ensure that the wires stay within the brackets, Damon braces are self-ligating. So, the brackets hold the wires in place without using any elastic.
