SELF LIGATING BRACES

Self-ligating braces are placed much like conventional braces, with the exception of ligature.No elastic or rubber bands or metal ties are present because they are not needed. Instead, special clips or brackets are used to help the arch wire move your teeth into place. 

ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL BRACES

• Less “chair-time” and fewer visits to the orthodontist
• They can cause less friction and discomfort and can be potentially easier on teeth
• No ligature such as color bands, elastics, or metal ties
• They could be easier to clean

All on 4 implant technique requires only 4 implants in each jaw.

• This is a very popular technique where all the artificial teeth will be supported by 4 implants in lower jaw and 4 implants in upper jaw. 

• This technique can be done on patients with minimal bone support and patients walk out with a fixed implant supported bridge. 

• Stable replacement of up to 12 teeth on only 4 implants by tilting the two posterior implants. 

• No Bone grafting is required. The concept of all on four implants is placement of two axial implants in the anterior region and two tilted implants in the posterior region of the jaw bone on the day of surgery itself.
