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
