Self-ligating braces offer numerous benefits to patients – less friction means a more comfortable experience, and many patients enjoy faster treatment times.
Self-ligating braces allow for greater control and efficiency during treatment. While they use brackets and wires, the brackets are much different than traditional metal braces. Self-ligating braces utilize small metal “doors” on the brackets to hold the archwire in place, rather than elastic ties like traditional braces.
