Traditional Self-ligating Braces

Traditional Self-ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces look similar to traditional metal braces but offer a more comfortable and efficient experience. Instead of elastic bands, they use a built-in sliding mechanism to hold the wire in place—reducing friction and improving comfort. With fewer adjustments needed, they also require fewer office visits, making them a great option for busy teens and adults.
