Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces are a type of orthodontic appliance that use a specialized clip instead of elastic ties to hold the wire in place. This clip allows for fewer adjustments, reducing the number of visits to the orthodontist, and enabling the teeth to move more quickly and efficiently into their proper position. Some of the benefits of self-ligating braces include improved comfort, quicker treatment times, and lower treatment costs. They are also considered to be more esthetic, as they have a lower profile and are less noticeable than traditional metal braces. However, they may not be suitable for all cases, and the cost may be higher than traditional metal braces.
