SELF LIGATING BRACKETS

This book provides an overview of self-ligating braces in orthodontics. Self-ligating orthodontic brackets are a form of dental brace that uses an internal mechanism to secure the archwire avoiding the need for traditional elastic or metal ties. This design lowers friction and promotes more effective tooth movement frequently resulting in shorter treatment times and fewer dental visits. Self-ligating brackets can also help with dental hygiene because they are easier to clean and less prone to trap food and plaque.
