SELF LIGATING BRACES

What are Self-Ligating Braces?

Self-ligating braces are the ones that use a built-in system to secure the archwire to the brackets. They don’t have elastic ties. They are also known as Damon Braces or Smart Brackets.

​Why should you choose Self-Ligating Braces over Traditional braces?

Self-ligating braces use a built-in mechanism in the bracket to hold the archwire in place. Here, elastic ties or metal wires are not used to secure the archwire, unlike Traditional Braces.

​They have the following benefits over Traditional Braces

Better efficiency at follow-ups (requires fewer visits and simpler adjustment process)

1. Reduced discomfort
2. Faster treatment
3. Stick Free
4. Easy cleaning and maintenance
5. They avoid the need for tooth extraction. (Incases of borderline teeth crowding)
6. Aesthetic purposes

How is it done?

1. Our dentist will examine your teeth and will take some X-rays.
2. Based on the findings after examining, our dentist will prep you up for the treatment if you are a candidate for self-ligating braces.
3. Before the process of putting on self-ligating braces, our Orthodontist will clean the teeth thoroughly for stains and plaques.
4. After cleaning, a device is inserted in your mouth to keep your mouth dry and your tongue in place.
5. Then, a bonding glue is applied.
6. The brackets are fit into the teeth.
7. Tiny elastic rubber bands, called ligatures, hold the archwires to the brackets.
8. After certain adjustments are made, a curing light will harden the adhesive and set the bond.

The retention phase –

 After the braces are fitted, you need to regularly visit the orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks to make adjustments. The treatment period may vary for each patient. During this period, Kindly follow our aftercare notes. When the braces are finally removed, retainers should be used for a period to hold your teeth in their new positions until your bone, gums, and muscles adapt.

Discontinuing retainers too early or improper follow-up by dentists can cause a relapse.

Maintaining Dental Health with Braces

1. Maintain good oral hygiene.
2. Brush twice a day and floss.
3. Pay attention to the space around your braces and remove the traces of food.
4. Avoid certain food as instructed by our Orthodontist.
5. Pay regular visits to the dentist and follow all the instructions. (Dental cleanings are important to remove plaque buildup that can contribute to cavities and gum diseases)
6. Try to chew with your back teeth instead of front teeth which can avoid damage to the braces.
