AB  - Self-ligating braces offer shorter orthodontic treatment, more comfortable follow-up and less chair time. Passive braces aremore preferred in self-ligating systems as they cause less friction. Damon system is also one of the most popular passive self-ligatingbraces. In addition to protrusion of incisors, it is one of the most important advantages of this bracket system that it providesexpansion in dental arches. The purpose of these case reports is to present the treatments of two patients treated with Damon System.It can be concluded as; thanks to the Damon braces system, moderate and severe crowding cases were successfully treated inappropriate cases. Treatment times were also shorter compared to average orthodontic treatments. Instead of stripping and toothextraction, which are among the methods of gaining space in orthodontics, success can be achieved in suitable cases.
