Among these, what we will look at in this post is

what self-ligating orthodontics is, and what types there are.

Self-ligating

To easily understand the self-ligating system,

it helps to look at how it differs from conventional wire braces.

In the case of conventional wire braces,

brackets are attached to the teeth,

and the wire is

connected with ligatures.

In the case of self-ligating braces,

brackets are attached to the teeth,

and the wire is

connected with slides or clips.

In other words, self-ligating braces

do not use metal ligation wires or elastic ligation rings that hold the main archwire in place.

Instead, the wire is directly secured and closed by the slide or clip itself,

ligating the bracket and wire in this way.

This has the advantages of faster tooth movement,

less pain, and shorter wire replacement time.
