Self Ligating Braces
Self-Ligating Braces: The Modern Upgrade to Traditional Braces
Self-ligating braces look similar to traditional metal braces, but they work smarter. Instead of elastic bands, they use a special built-in clip mechanism to hold the wire, allowing your teeth to move more freely and efficiently.
This system reduces friction, discomfort, and the need for frequent tightening — while often shortening overall treatment time.
How They Work
- Each bracket has a built-in clip to hold the wire in place
- This eliminates the need for elastic or metal ties
- The system lets the wire slide more easily, guiding your teeth into place with less force
- Brackets are small, sleek, and more comfortable
