What are Self Ligating Braces?

Self-ligating braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a built-in mechanism to hold the archwire in place, instead of traditional elastic ties or metal wires. This innovative design offers several advantages over traditional braces

Self Ligating braces feature specialized brackets with a small clip or door that securely holds the archwire in place. This eliminates the need for rubber bands or metal ties, often referred to as ligatures. The archwire applies gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into their correct positions.
