Premium Orthodontic Appliance That Reduces Pain and Treatment Time (Self-Ligating Orthodontics)

A premium orthodontic appliance that helps reduce the burden of pain and treatment time

Self-ligating orthodontics

A suggestion for choosing the self-ligating type that fits you best

We all know the value of the first impression we give others,

and especially the value of a bright smile.

But once you actually make up your mind and go in for a consultation,

metal, ceramic, lingual, clear, and more

there are so many types of orthodontic treatment

that it is easy to feel worn out before you even begin.

Amid all the overflowing information,

it is only natural to worry about

which appliance would be the most reasonable and comfortable for you.

To help ease these concerns, Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic has prepared a guide that considers both clinical expertise and patients’ worries.

Orthodontic treatment types at a glance

Before making your choice in earnest,

we will clearly divide the orthodontic treatment types

handled in current dental medicine by category!

It is helpful to understand them broadly in three streams.

Conventional wire braces:

The most standard method,

including metal, ceramic,

and lingual orthodontics, where the appliance is attached to the inside of the teeth.

Clear aligners:

Led by Invisalign, where the appliance is barely noticeable,

this category includes NanoLiner, MagicAlign, Serafin, Didihaim, and others

that maximize aesthetics.

Self-ligating system:

Clippy-C, Damon, Majesty, Trinity, and others,

which we will focus on today,

belong to this category.

The difference between self-ligating orthodontics and conventional wire braces

In the case of conventional wire braces,

wire had to be tied in place using fixed metal ties or elastic bands,

but self-ligating orthodontics

has a slide or clip built into the bracket itself.

This snap-like structure

secures the wire directly,

reducing friction

so tooth movement is much smoother and faster.

It also causes less pain,

and because the time needed to replace the wire during clinic visits is shorter,

it is regarded as one of the most efficient

wire-based orthodontic treatment types for modern patients.

Self-ligating types

If you have decided on self-ligating types as your orthodontic treatment option,

you will need to understand the unique features of each brand

to make your choice easier.

Let us compare four representative self-ligating types

in detail by country of manufacture and features!

Clippy-C:

A product from Tomy, Japan,

characterized by a small, angular snap-on cap.

Thanks to its reasonable cost,

it is the most commonly chosen self-ligating type.

Damon Clear:

A product from Ormco in the United States,

it has a somewhat larger appliance and thicker cap,

but it offers excellent aesthetics and a comfortable wearing feel.

Majesty:

A domestic product from Osstem Orthodontics,

its rounded edges mean less foreign-body sensation,

and its strong durability makes it a self-ligating type with less concern about deformation or breakage.

Trinity:

A domestic product from the same manufacturer as Majesty,

both the appliance and the wire are similar in color to teeth,

making it a premium appliance with very high aesthetic satisfaction.

A partner for a new smile and an exciting start

In fact, whichever self-ligating type you choose,

the skill of the medical team handling it

determines 80% of the result.

Orthodontic appliances are only a means of moving teeth to the target position;

what truly matters is
