1

Certified Damon System Provider

Picasso Dental Clinic is a certified provider of the Damon System, the globally recognized gold standard in self-ligating orthodontics developed by Ormco. This certification means the clinic's orthodontists have undergone specialized training in the Damon philosophy and technique, ensuring patients receive treatment that adheres to the manufacturer's protocols.

The Damon System is not just a bracket — it is a complete treatment approach that combines passive self-ligating brackets, high-technology archwires, and minimally invasive clinical techniques. At Picasso, every Damon patient benefits from genuine Damon brackets and archwires sourced directly from Ormco, never third-party imitations.

What This Means for You: Authentic Damon System components, orthodontists trained in the Damon philosophy, and treatment outcomes backed by decades of clinical research and millions of patients worldwide.

Self-Ligating Technology for Faster Treatment

Traditional braces use elastic ties (ligatures) to hold the archwire in place, creating friction that slows tooth movement. Damon self-ligating braces replace these elastics with a built-in slide mechanism that allows the archwire to move freely through the bracket. This passive self-ligation dramatically reduces friction and enables teeth to move more quickly and efficiently.

Clinical evidence shows that Damon self-ligating braces can reduce treatment time by an average of 3 to 6 months compared to conventional braces. Patients at Picasso Dental Da Lat typically complete Damon treatment in 12 to 24 months, depending on case complexity — often finishing months sooner than they would with traditional brackets.

Both Damon Metal and Damon Clear Options

Picasso Dental Clinic offers the full range of Damon self-ligating brackets, giving patients the freedom to choose the option that best suits their lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and budget.

Damon Metal Braces — Made from high-grade stainless steel, Damon Metal brackets are the most durable and cost-effective self-ligating option. They are smaller and more comfortable than traditional metal brackets, with a smooth, rounded design that reduces irritation. Ideal for patients who prioritize performance and value. Learn more about metal braces options at Picasso Dental.

Damon Clear Braces — Crafted from translucent ceramic material, Damon Clear brackets blend with the natural color of teeth for a nearly invisible appearance. They use the same passive self-ligating slide mechanism as Damon Metal for identical treatment efficiency, but with a far more discreet look. Particularly popular among adult professionals. Explore ceramic braces at Picasso Dental.

Damon Metal: From $1,308 | Damon Clear: From $1,769 — Both deliver the same self-ligating performance; choose based on your aesthetic preference and budget.

Experienced Orthodontic Specialists

Orthodontic treatment requires precision, expertise, and an in-depth understanding of biomechanics. At Picasso Dental Clinic, Damon braces cases are managed exclusively by qualified orthodontic specialists — dentists who have completed additional years of postgraduate training specifically in orthodontics.

The orthodontic team at Picasso has collectively treated thousands of self-ligating braces cases and undergone advanced training in the Damon System. They stay current with the latest developments in orthodontic science through continuing education and international conferences. You can learn more about the team on the Picasso Dental team page.

"I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but the orthodontist at Picasso made me feel completely at ease. She explained every step of the Damon System and my teeth started moving noticeably within weeks. The whole experience has been far better than I expected."
— Sarah T., Australia

Less Pain and Fewer Adjustments

One of the most significant advantages of the Damon System is patient comfort. Because the passive self-ligating mechanism uses lighter, biologically sensible forces to move teeth, patients experience substantially less discomfort compared to traditional braces. There is no tightening of elastic ties — a common source of pressure and soreness with conventional systems.

Studies published in orthodontic journals have demonstrated that patients wearing self-ligating braces report lower pain scores during treatment. At Picasso Dental, patients consistently describe Damon adjustments as quicker and more comfortable.

Additionally, Damon braces require fewer adjustment appointments — typically every 8 to 10 weeks instead of the 4 to 6 weeks required by traditional braces. This is a significant advantage for international patients who travel to Da Lat for treatment, as it reduces the total number of visits needed.

Patient Comfort Advantage: Lighter forces, no elastic tightening, fewer chair-side visits, and shorter appointment times — making orthodontic treatment significantly more comfortable.

Affordable Pricing — 60–75% Savings

Damon braces in Western countries come with a significant price tag. In Australia, a full Damon treatment typically costs AUD $7,000–$10,000. In the United States, the range is $5,000–$9,000, and in Canada, $4,500–$8,000. At Picasso Dental Clinic Da Lat, the same authentic Damon System treatment starts at just $1,308 for Damon Metal and $1,769 for Damon Clear.

These savings of 60–75% come without any compromise in quality. Picasso uses genuine Ormco Damon brackets and archwires, the same brands and materials used by top orthodontic clinics worldwide. The lower cost reflects Vietnam's favorable economics, not lower standards. For a detailed comparison, visit the Picasso Dental cost comparison page.

Advanced Digital Planning & 3D Imaging

Picasso Dental Clinic uses state-of-the-art digital technology to plan every Damon braces case with precision. Before any brackets are placed, each patient undergoes a comprehensive digital assessment including 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, digital intraoral scanning, and high-resolution dental photography.

This digital workflow enables the orthodontic team to visualize the entire treatment from start to finish, identify the optimal bracket placement for each tooth, and predict treatment outcomes with remarkable accuracy. Patients can see a projected view of their post-treatment smile before committing to treatment.

Navigating dental treatment in a foreign country can feel daunting, but Picasso Dental Clinic eliminates language barriers entirely.

The patient-centered approach extends beyond language. Picasso provides complimentary virtual consultations via WhatsApp, detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing, assistance with appointment scheduling around travel plans, and follow-up communication between visits. Having served patients from 62 countries, the team is experienced in managing orthodontic treatment across borders.

"Communication was never an issue. Everyone at Picasso spoke excellent English, and my coordinator even helped me plan my Da Lat trip around my adjustment schedule. The WhatsApp check-ins between visits gave me total peace of mind."
— James R., Canada

Comprehensive Retention Program

Achieving a beautifully straight smile is only half the journey — maintaining those results for life is equally important. At Picasso Dental Clinic, every Damon braces patient receives a comprehensive retention program designed to protect their orthodontic investment long after the brackets are removed.

The retention protocol includes custom-fitted fixed retainers (bonded behind the teeth for permanent support), clear removable retainers for nighttime wear, detailed retainer care instructions, and scheduled retention check-ups. Fixed retainers are priced at just $77 and clear retainers at $38, making long-term retention affordable.

The orthodontic team educates each patient on the importance of retainer wear and provides a retention schedule tailored to their specific case. This proactive approach ensures that the investment in Damon braces delivers a lifetime of straight teeth.

Retention Essentials: Fixed retainer: $77 | Clear retainer: $38 — Affordable protection for your orthodontic results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Damon braces cost at Picasso Dental Clinic Da Lat?

Damon self-ligating metal braces range from $1,308 (mild cases) to $2,154 (complex cases). Damon Clear ceramic braces range from $1,769 (mild) to $2,615 (complex). These prices include brackets, archwires, bonding, and the initial treatment plan. Adjustments and retainers are priced separately. This represents 60–75% savings compared to the same Damon treatment in Australia, the US, or Canada.

What is the difference between Damon braces and traditional braces?

Damon braces are self-ligating, meaning they use a built-in passive slide mechanism instead of elastic ties to hold the archwire. This creates significantly less friction, allows teeth to move more freely and comfortably, results in fewer required adjustment visits (every 8–10 weeks vs. 4–6 weeks), and often shortens overall treatment time by 3–6 months compared to traditional braces. Patients also report less pain and discomfort throughout treatment.

How long does Damon braces treatment take?

Damon braces treatment at Picasso Dental typically takes 12 to 24 months depending on case complexity. Mild cases may be completed in as little as 12 months, while severe or complex cases may require up to 24 months. The self-ligating technology often reduces treatment time by 3–6 months compared to conventional braces.

What is the difference between Damon Metal and Damon Clear braces?

Damon Metal braces use stainless steel self-ligating brackets — the most durable and affordable option starting at $1,308. Damon Clear braces use ceramic (tooth-colored) self-ligating brackets that are nearly invisible, starting at $1,769. Both use the identical passive self-ligating slide mechanism for the same treatment efficiency. Damon Clear is especially popular among adult patients who want a more discreet appearance during treatment.

Can international patients get Damon braces at Picasso Dental Da Lat?

Yes. Picasso Dental Clinic regularly treats international patients from 62+ countries. The initial bonding visit typically requires 2–3 days in Da Lat. Follow-up adjustments are needed every 8–10 weeks and can be coordinated during return visits, or Picasso can collaborate with your local orthodontist for interim adjustments. Virtual consultations via WhatsApp are available for treatment planning and between-visit check-ins.

Do Damon braces hurt less than traditional braces?

Yes. Clinical studies and patient feedback consistently show that Damon self-ligating braces cause less discomfort than traditional braces. The passive slide mechanism applies lighter, more biologically sensible forces to move teeth, reducing pressure on teeth and surrounding tissue. Patients also report less soreness after adjustment appointments and shorter recovery periods between visits.
