 The damons advantage in txingx-bites are this.
They are a lower force system so when the teeth begin to align the tendency with traditional braces is for the incisors to flare a bit. With damon since they are lower force they do not overpower the musculature so the path of least resistance is posterio expansion.
They work quite well in this regard. I have treated bilateral crossbites with them without any other expanders or appliances.

They would have to be on the upper arch to do this.
Do you just have lower mertal with upper clear or something like that?
