Complex braces (ceramic or self-ligating) are premium orthodontic options offering better aesthetics and faster treatment. They fall into two main categories: 1) Ceramic brackets (Clarity ADVANCED, Damon Clear, Inspire ICE) — aesthetic brackets made in clear or beige to match the tooth shade. Same effectiveness as standard metal systems, but visually far less noticeable — ideal for adult patients and those who value aesthetics. Material: monocrystalline aluminium oxide or polycrystalline ceramics; 2) Self-ligating brackets (Damon Q, Damon Q2, SmartClip, Empower) — the most advanced technology. Instead of classic elastic ligatures, a special clip mechanism inside the bracket holds the archwire. This delivers several dramatic advantages: friction is reduced by 80% — teeth move more freely and faster, treatment time shortens by 4–6 months; hygiene is significantly easier — no plaque accumulation around ligatures; visit intervals extend to 6–10 weeks (versus 4 weeks in classic systems); discomfort is reduced — the forces are gentler. Self-ligating systems come in both metal and ceramic versions — Damon Clear combines premium aesthetics with faster treatment. The treatment protocol is the same as with simple brackets, but activation is more refined and aesthetic. Treatment duration 10–18 months (vs. 12–24 with classic systems). Ideal for: adult patients, aesthetic-conscious patients, those seeking faster results and patients who prioritise hygiene. BadamDent officially offers the internationally certified Damon system. A retainer is mandatory after treatment.
