All Damon braces are self ligating braces(SLB) but not vice versa.
It varies from patient to patient how clinically feasible it is to use damon for expansion of the teeth and avoid extractions. It is not always the case.
SLB are definitely more comfortable and refined for the patient that is why the higher cost as compared to the conventional metal braces.
In simple words, there are different ways of reaching from Point A to Point B but it depends on the orthodontist what he or she might choose.
