Preformed Quick Ligature/ Metal Ties
During fixed orthodontic treatment, ligation is used to keep the archwire engaged in the slot of the bracket.
Ligation can be done using Stainless steel (SS) ligatures or elastomeric modules.
SS ligature wire provides secured tie of the archwire to bracket slot, lesser friction and slower rate of force decay compared to elastomeric modules.
