A BEAUTIFUL SMILE WITH
Self Ligating Fixed Appliances
Rather than using elastics to hold the orthodontic wire into position, these appliances have an integral clip mechanism that holds the wire which allows the wire to slide more freely. There is no evidence that this mechanism produces a more superior result than a conventional fixed appliance.
There is evidence that the time taken to change the wire is reduced with a self-ligating mechanism and there is less likelihood of the appliance discolouring in-between visits as no elastics are used to tie the wires.

Self-ligating braces are gaining in popularity.
This type of orthodontic appliance is nothing new; in fact, self-ligating braces have been around since the 1930s but became somewhat popular in the ‘80s.
Since then, they have taken off within the past few years. Their newly-found popularity around patients hoping to work on their smile is due to several reasons
- Less “chair-time” and fewer visits to the orthodontist
- They can cause less friction and discomfort while moving your teeth
- They help reduce risks to your teeth by applying moderate force over them
- There’s no need for additional ligatures such as color bands, elastics, or metal ties It’s easier to keep them clean
