Braces & Clear Aligners

Patient wearing Damon System braces at Bloom Dental Aesthetic, orthodontic treatment Somerset West

Smile alignment made simple — with Damon Braces.

Whether you're dealing with crowding, gaps, or bite issues, our advanced orthodontic solutions are designed to deliver faster results with fewer appointments and greater comfort. At Bloom Dental, we proudly use the Damon System — a revolutionary alternative to traditional braces.

Unlike conventional brackets, Damon Braces use self-ligating technology, meaning no elastic ties. This creates less friction, promotes gentler tooth movement, and often eliminates the need for extractions or expanders.

  • Faster results

  • Fewer appointments

  • Easier to clean

  • More discreet (available in metal or clear)

We also offer clear aligners for mild to moderate corrections if you prefer a fully removable option.

Orthodontic Treatment for Teens and Adults

Crooked or misaligned teeth affect more than just aesthetics — they can make cleaning more difficult, contribute to uneven wear, and in some cases affect bite function and jaw comfort. Orthodontic treatment at Bloom Dental Aesthetic addresses all of these issues while delivering the straight, confident smile you’ve always wanted.

We offer two primary orthodontic solutions: the Damon System braces and clear aligners. Dr Leani Rabie will assess your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment during a consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your specific needs, lifestyle, and budget.

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teenagers. A growing number of adults across Somerset West and the Helderberg area are choosing to straighten their teeth later in life — and with today’s discreet options, there has never been a better time to start.

Which option is right for you? The Damon System uses self-ligating brackets that move teeth with less friction than traditional braces, often resulting in faster treatment and fewer appointments. Clear aligners are fully removable and virtually invisible — ideal for adults and older teens who want flexibility for eating, drinking, and special occasions. Dr Rabie will recommend the best fit during your consultation.

Damon Braces FAQ

  • Damon Braces use self-ligating brackets, which means they don’t require elastic or metal ties. This reduces friction, allowing teeth to move more freely and comfortably. The system often delivers faster results with fewer appointments compared to traditional braces.

  • Yes. Because Damon Braces apply lighter, consistent forces, most patients experience less pressure and discomfort during treatment. The absence of elastic ties also means less irritation to the soft tissues in your mouth.

  • Absolutely. Damon Braces are a popular choice for adult orthodontics thanks to their discreet clear bracket option, shorter treatment duration, and reduced need for extractions.
