Self-Ligating Braces
With traditional braces, orthodontists use ties, or “ligatures,” to hold the archwire in place. These ligatures create drag that hinders desired tooth movement, and they transfer an unnecessary amount of pressure to the teeth, often resulting in significant discomfort.
The Damon Orthodontic Treatment Approach uses “self-ligating” braces that do not require ties and allow us to use lighter wires to gently move your teeth into place creating broad beautiful smiles with less discomfort.
Self-ligating braces are more comfortable, work faster and require fewer office visits than traditional braces. This gentle approach also greatly reduces the need for extraction of permanent teeth.
Here is a video showing features and benefits of the self-ligating braces:
