Your Dream Smile Starts Here at Hume Dental Group
A confident smile can make a powerful first impression, but the benefits of straight teeth go far beyond appearance. At Hume Dental Group, we understand that aligned teeth not only enhance your smile — they also contribute to long-term oral health and improved daily function.
Correcting misaligned teeth can make brushing and flossing easier, help prevent jaw issues such as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), and improve the way you chew and speak. Our friendly orthodontic team is here to guide you through a personalised treatment plan using options like traditional braces, clear aligners, and lingual orthodontics.
How Braces Gently Transform Your Smile
Braces work by applying controlled pressure over time to guide your teeth into the right position. This is done using a system of brackets bonded to your teeth and archwires that connect and gently shift them. Elastics may also be used to adjust your bite as treatment progresses.
Orthodontic braces can treat a range of concerns, including:
- Overcrowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Treatment times vary depending on your individual case but typically range from 12 to 24 months.
Why We Use the Damon System: Faster, Gentler, More Precise Orthodontics
At Hume Dental Group, we’ve chosen to use the Damon System—including Damon Braces, Damon Ultima, and Ormco Digital Bonding—because these technologies deliver better results, more comfort, and greater efficiency than traditional orthodontic methods.
Damon Braces: High-Performance, Low-Friction Orthodontics
Unlike conventional braces that rely on elastic ties, Damon Braces use a passive self-ligating system, allowing the wire to glide freely with less friction.
This means:
Lighter forces and greater comfort
Fewer appointments
Faster alignment in many cases
Improved hygiene (no elastic ties trapping plaque)
Broad, natural-looking smile arch forms
Damon Braces are ideal for patients wanting reliable, comfortable treatment with predictable outcomes.
Damon Ultima: The Most Advanced Braces in the Damon System
Damon Ultima is the newest evolution of the Damon system—and one of the most precise bracket-and-wire technologies available worldwide.
What makes it superior:
360° control of tooth movement
Unique round-sided rectangular wires allow more accurate torque and rotation control.
Up to 4× more precise finishing
Designed to reduce the need for bends and refinements.
Smoother, faster alignment
Thanks to the low-friction Ultima Wire.
Better smile design
Ultima allows broad, symmetrical smile arcs with improved facial balance.
Damon Ultima is ideal for patients seeking the fastest, most accurate results with the least adjustments.
Ormco Digital Bonding: Precision Placement, Better Results
We use Ormco Digital Bonding, an advanced digital workflow that replaces guesswork with engineering-level accuracy.
With high-resolution 3D scans and AI-guided bracket placement, digital bonding offers:
Perfectly customised bracket positions for each tooth
More predictable tooth movement from day one
Less reliance on wire bending and refinements
Fewer emergencies and shorter overall treatment time
Digital Bonding ensures that every bracket is placed exactly where it should be, giving you a smoother, more efficient orthodontic experience.
