Metal self-ligating braces

Metal self-ligating braces are an orthodontic treatment that has been advanced compared to traditional ones. Many advantages of this treatment are made patient choose them: no elastics, shorter duration, easy to clean and more aesthetics

What are metal self-ligating braces ?

Traditional metal braces use the bracket, archwire, and elastic to keep the archwire in the bracket. This method is effective, but in the process of wearing brackets, it is easy to break the elastic band, lose the archwire, so it is necessary to go to the clinic frequently to adjust. To overcome those disadvantages, self-ligating metal braces were invented by replacing the elastic band system with automatic latches/ self-ligating.

Duration of self-ligating metal braces

Compared to traditional braces, self-ligating metal braces will help you reduce the time of braces from 4-6 months. The exact time to wear braces will depend on how the brackets are worn, the condition of your teeth and the age of the person wearing the brackets. The sooner the braces are placed, the faster your braces will be. On average, braces time will last from 12-24 months.
