Differing from traditional braces, self-ligating braces do not have the elastic ligatures. In other words, there are no elastic “ties” or metal ties because they are simply not needed. Rather, self-ligating braces have a door mechanism that is opened and closed to hold the tooth-aligning wires. This allows for far less friction between the wire and the braces. This results in faster tooth movement because the braces are free to slide along the wire (metal bracket on metal wire). Also, this concept allows for greater freedom of tooth movement with much less discomfort. Lighter forces are utilized because of the reduction in friction between the wire and brace. With no need for the elastic ties that fade with time, the interval between appointments is much longer. Gone are the days of having to replace the elastic ties every 4-6 weeks. In summary, self-ligating braces are easier on your teeth, easier on your time, and achieve stunning results.
The purpose of this book is to update practioners and orthodontic postgraduate students on current concepts of orthodontic selfligating brackets prescription. This book will also be beneficial for undergraduate Dental students for their theory examination as this is an important topic to them. Hope this book will benefit all.
