The Benefits of Permanent Retainers and Damon Braces for Adults at Élan Dentistry
Orthodontic care is not just for kids! If you’re thinking, “I need an adult solution for my teeth,” Élan Dentistry offers advanced options like permanent retainers and Damon braces that are perfect for achieving long-lasting results with minimal hassle.
Why Permanent Retainers Are a Great Choice
Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, it’s essential to maintain your results. This is where permanent retainers come in. A permanent retainer is a thin wire that is bonded to the back of your teeth to keep them from shifting. Unlike removable retainers, you don’t have to worry about forgetting to wear it or losing it—it's a built-in solution that ensures your smile stays straight. This option is especially popular among adults who want to maintain their smile without the hassle of nightly retainers.
Damon Braces: A Modern Twist on Traditional Braces
For adults who need more comprehensive orthodontic treatment, Damon braces are an excellent option. Unlike traditional braces, Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire, which means less friction and more comfort. These braces are also self-ligating, meaning they don’t require elastic ties, which makes them easier to clean. Damon braces are great for adults because they work faster and require fewer adjustments, making them a convenient choice for busy schedules.
Why Choose Élan Dentistry for Adult Orthodontics?
At Élan Dentistry, we understand that adult patients need treatments that fit into their busy lives while still delivering outstanding results. Whether you opt for permanent retainers to maintain your straight teeth or Damon braces to correct alignment issues, our team is here to provide personalized care. If you’re saying, “I need an adult solution to improve my smile,” we’ve got the expertise and the technology to help you achieve the results you want.

Batfamily fics need to start including all the times the Batkids would absolutely bust their teeth on something.
Goon hit you wrong? Cracked tooth. Face planted on that last flip? That’s a knocked out tooth for sure. One bad kick across the face during a spar and you’re spitting blood on the mats with your front teeth shoved the wrong direction back into your gums.
Bruce avoids this by having no real teeth. The Batkids learn about the benefits of mouth guards via trial and error.
#tw teeth stuff#bruce wayne#batman#dc#batfamily#late night thoughts#I still fondly think about that spn fic where deans necklace swung up#and chipped one of his teeth#that was so real#I’ve done that :/#Tim getting his shit rocked and then reaching into his mouth to pull out his permanent retainer wire would be so badass tho

Thinking about the esper kids Claw took made me remember an idea I had for a mp100 oc around that subject...really liked the idea of an esper kid who was taken, experimented on, but did eventually manage to escape from Claw--however, deeply struggled with returning to a normal life after their experiences.
Few years pass, WD arc happens, basically all their worst fears confirmed, and that's the breaking point for them to go off act on the urge they've had for a long time now. Ends up throwing themselves into this Revenge Quest to track down and eliminate the members that scattered after Claw fell.
#would be an 'antagonist' for a post-canon Scars story I have cookin in the brain#the Scars finally starting to get their lives together now faced with the pain of someone who was never able to find that peace....fun stuf#as for powers....kind of a unique setup. most of their own abilities were permanently crippled by the experimentation#however they retained an ability to absorb spirits#almost like possession however they're able to maintain consciousness and make use of the spirit(s) energy#very handy! Were it not for the residual memories and emotions that often end up blurring with their own. Theres a lot in there#sorry everyone im chatty today#casper chatter

Me when I accidentally swallow my permanent retainer…idk that’s it, that’s the joke. I swallowed my permanent retainer today lmao
#Don’t worry I’m fine#like it went down so quick and easy I literally stopped eating like#um. I just swallowed my retainer??!#one of those wire ones#…I knew it coming out soon#I just didn’t expect to SWALLOW it xD#And now I’m debating if I want to go to the orthodontist for a new one#because despite having that permanent retainer I noticed my teeth are crooked#…and I really don’t want them to make me spend a bunch of money to fix them or something#like they’re fine I just mostly don’t want these cement dots on my teeth or just give me a new retainer#but they can’t base it off anything because I SWALLOWED it xD
