Self-Ligating Braces
Price of self-ligating braces
What are self-ligating braces?
Previous generation braces (classic ones) have wire or elastic ligatures. The arch is tightly attached by the ligatures, so they do not slide during the movement. Alignment and movement result from intense pressure. Bite correction is a long-term process and can cause temporary aesthetic inconveniences to the patient. Therefore, the new generation of ligatureless braces appeared. They are also external, but the difference is that the arch is passively attached, which is locked. She slides, acts selectively, with small but constant forces.
Advantages of self-ligating braces?
The absence of ligatures greatly simplifies oral hygiene. Visits to the orthodontist are not as frequent as with classic braces. Treatment time can be reduced, and changes in the position of the teeth are noticeable at the first stages.
One of the disadvantages is the significantly higher price compared to traditional braces.
Types of self-ligating braces?
There are ceramic and metal, active and passive self-ligating braces. The brace itself has smooth rims, which provide comfort and protect the mucous membrane from irritation and scratches. The base is made to match the ergonomics of the tooth, which guarantees accurate and effective treatment.
