Self-ligating brackets: quick (esthetic - one jaw) - Dental practice Marinac Dental Studio

An orthodontic appliance with self-ligating braces is an appliance that, unlike ordinary fixed appliances, does not require visits for inspection once a month and reduces the time of wearing and straightening teeth. The procedure is similar to installing a fixed appliance. Fixed appliances can also be made of some aesthetic materials such as acrylate, plastic, ceramic, polycrystalline alumina, polycarbonate with fiberglass… These appliances generally have a good aesthetic effect. They are avoided in all those cases where the application of stronger forces is necessary for larger tooth movements. They are completely contraindicated in careless patients with poor oral hygiene.
