What Makes Damon Braces Different?

Traditional braces use elastic ties to hold the archwire against each bracket, which creates friction that can slow tooth movement and cause discomfort. The Damon System uses a sliding, self-ligating mechanism instead — allowing teeth to move more freely with lower friction, often resulting in fewer adjustment visits and a more comfortable experience.

Damon System vs. Damon Clear

Borneo Dental Centre offers both the classic Damon System (metal brackets) and Damon Clear (tooth-coloured, less visible brackets) — so you can choose the option that best fits your lifestyle and confidence needs while still benefiting from the same self-ligating technology.

The Braces Process at Borneo Dental Centre

  1. Consultation & X-ray — we assess your bite and plan your treatment.
  2. Braces Fitting — Damon System or Damon Clear brackets are bonded to your teeth.
  3. Regular Adjustments — periodic visits to guide your teeth into position.
  4. Retention — a retainer maintains your new smile after braces come off.

I had an amazing experience at Borneo Dental Centre for my aligner treatment. From the very first consultation, the team was professional, friendly, and informative. They explained the entire process clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment. The aligners were custom-made and fit perfectly, gradually straightening my teeth without any discomfort. I appreciated the regular check-ups, where the dentist ensured my progress was on track. The clinic itself is clean, and equipped with the latest technology. I highly recommend Borneo Dental Centre to anyone considering clear aligners. Would definitely give 10/10!

Good service. Probably the first dental clinic I ever went to that is painless for me. Definitely will be my forever go-to place. I did scaling and 2 cycle teeth whitening — the colour difference is AMAZING AND VERY OBVIOUS. Booked an appointment and went for it on the SAME DAY!!

Baru ja cabut gigi di sini 😅 dan saya sangat-sangat recommend kamu untuk buat rawatan gigi di sini!! Doctor punya service 11/10, sangat terbaik especially Dr Vahin — sebelum dia cabut dia explain dulu secara detail option yang ada, dan keadaan gigi sekarang, penerangan mudah difahami + really polite. Time cabut tu dia sentiasa check, "sir sakit ka? sir okay?" Rasa selamat cabut gigi, sama tida sakit. Harga reasonable dan boleh cakap murah sebab kualiti service sangat bagus. Kesimpulan dia, jangan ragu-ragu datang sini, sangat recommended!!

Very recommended dental clinic. Did my FRC treatment with Dr Vahin on 28/12/23, lasted until 1 year plus. Recently in April 2025 got a little crack on the tooth attached. Booked my appointment on 11/4/25 to get it fixed — 15 minutes and the treatment was done. Thanks too to the staff at the reception counter for the good assist. Do visit this dental clinic located at Bundusan and Luyang. 👍

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the leading braces provider in Kota Kinabalu?

Borneo Dental Centre is a leading braces provider in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, using the Damon System and Damon Clear — advanced self-ligating braces systems known for greater comfort and often faster treatment than traditional braces. With two branches (Luyang and Pavilion Bundusan) and a 5.0-star rating across 500+ Google reviews, braces is our most popular treatment.

What are Damon braces and how are they different from traditional braces?

Damon braces are a self-ligating braces system that uses a sliding mechanism instead of elastic ties to hold the archwire in place. This typically means less friction, fewer adjustment visits, and often greater comfort compared to traditional metal braces. Damon Clear offers the same technology in a tooth-coloured, less visible bracket.

How much do braces cost in Kota Kinabalu?

Braces cost depends on the complexity of your case and treatment duration. Borneo Dental Centre offers a free initial consultation and flexible payment plans to make Damon System or Damon Clear braces accessible and affordable for patients in Kota Kinabalu.

How long does braces treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case complexity, typically ranging from around one to three years. Damon self-ligating braces can, in many cases, work more efficiently than traditional braces due to reduced friction. Your dentist will give you a personalised timeline during consultation.

Do braces hurt?

Some pressure or mild discomfort is normal for the first few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, as your teeth begin shifting. The Damon System is designed to reduce friction and pressure compared to traditional braces, often resulting in a more comfortable experience.

Can adults get braces, or is it just for teenagers?

Braces work at any age — there is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment as long as your gums and jawbone are healthy. Borneo Dental Centre treats both children and adults with the Damon System and Damon Clear braces.
