SELF-LIGATING BRACES - ongoing treatment
Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional orthodontic braces in their material make-up and have the same basic function. Self-ligating means that the bracket can basically tie itself to the archwire.
There are no metal or elastic ties necessary with self-ligating braces as a built in “trap door” can be slid or flipped closed to engage the wire. This trap door holds the wire loosely in position, which reduces friction. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth, and decreases the number of adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.
Treatment with self-ligating braces is faster, requires less chairtime and fewer appointments, and yields higher quality results than conventionally ligated straightwire appliances.
