Currently, the use of dental braces continues to be one of the most suitable solutions for those who want to have a more beautiful and aligned smile. With technological advances in the field of dentistry, braces are now capable of reducing treatment time and the discomfort caused by traditional braces. An example of this is the self-ligating braces.
The self-ligating braces are fixed braces without the use of colored elastics, and there ins’t no friction between the arch and the brackets, in addition, the arches have high technology, leading to a faster, longer-lasting and more effective treatment.
Eliminating the use of elastics considerably reduces the friction between the wire and the bracket, and in this way, your dentist will be able to use light forces on the teeth and the wire will be able to work more freely, obtaining more effective results. Self-ligating allows for a high relief tooth alveolar expansion, allowing teeth to be placed in more favorable positions and inclinations.
Due to the technology of these braces, which is currently considered the most modern and fastest for orthodontic treatments, maintenance appointments are more spaced out in time. The treatment promotes dental alignment, improvement of facial aesthetics and can be used by those who have placed implants, adults or children. The treatment lasts, on average, between 16 and 24 months, depending on the patient’s dental status and oral hygiene during treatment.

1. Faster on average 35% than the traditional braces;
