31 Years Old Asian Female with Buck Teeth -Concerns Damon Braces?

Damon braces do tend to widen the dental arch form to some degree especially on narrower arches.  You need to talk to your orthodontist about exactly what type of facial changes such as profile or arch width he expects to see.  Make sure that you are getting what you want and ask to see photographs of cases similar to yours that he has personally treated and see if you like the results he was able to accomplish.  In general, the asian profile tends to be more full and looks very nice with a fuller lip position as long as it is not excessive causing lip strain or difficulty in closing the lips.  Some slight proximal reduction (narrowing)  of the teeth can also reduce profile fullness slightly without having to resort to extractions.  Get good answers that you are happy with to these questions before you start. 

Damon braces will not widen your face.  Instead, the braces and the wires may work to broaden your dental arch of teeth giving you a prettier smile.  You can probably get more details about how things might change by speaking with your orthodontist.  You can also ask your orthodontist about what specific things might change as he/she aligns your teeth.  Overall, I think you will be very pleased with the results that are possible with your orthodontist and the Damon System.

While doctors who use the Damon System tend to use an arch form that is wider than average, it is the treatment plan and shape of  the wire and not the specific bracket (or braces) that will determine how wide your smile will be at the end of treatment. Not removing teeth produces wider smiles (for which there is hopefully enough bone) and using wider wires also contributes. Wires with a narrow arch shape will produce a narrow arch, even with the Damon bracket. Conversely, a wire with a wide arch form in any other bracket will also produce a wider smile. Don't worry so much about which braces are being used as you do about your treatment plan. Good luck!
