SELF LIGATING BRACES ANIMATION VK DENTAL CLINIC HYDERABAD

Self-ligating braces are placed much like conventional braces, with the exception of ligature: No elastic or rubber bands or metal ties are present because they are not needed. Instead, special clips or brackets are used to help the arch wire move your teeth into place. The clips allow greater freedom of tooth movement; thereby they might reduce discomfort that is sometimes associated with traditional ligature. A simple adjustment is made to the brackets or clips, which saves time and causes less discomfort during routine visits with your orthodontist
Depending on the case Self-ligating braces are also easier on your teeth and could reduce the amount of pressure and friction for many who wear them. There are two types of self-ligating brackets:
Passive brackets are applied and use a smaller size arch wire. The smaller arch wire creates less friction and will allow your teeth to move more freely. Your orthodontist will most likely use this application at the beginning of treatment.
Active brackets will use a thicker arch wire and will deliver more pressure onto teeth, thereby moving them more efficiently to where they ideally should be.
With self-ligating braces, visits to orthodontist could be less frequent, and will potentially cause less discomfort than with traditional braces Self-ligating bracket systems displayed a significantly lower level of frictional resistance, dramatically less chair-time for arch wire removal and insertion, and promoted improved infection control, when compared with polyurethane elastomeric and stainless steel tie wire ligation for ceramic and metal twin brackets.
Depending on the manufacturing company they also could be smaller than regular braces, which make them more attractive to wearers, and they are available in self-ligating metal or ceramic braces, lingual braces. However, although the braces are smaller, they do tend to stand further off your teeth and can possibly cause more irritation to your lips and cheeks, but with dental wax and time, this will not be a problem for most. Self-ligating braces are easier to keep clean due to the lack of elastic, rubber, or metal ties, but taking time to brush and floss as you would with regular braces is still a necessary and beneficial part of your daily routine.
