The self-ligating orthodontics is a kind of treatment in which the bracket supports the arch through a special closure or clip and not by rubber bands or ligatures such as traditional orthodontics. Thanks to this system, this treatment allows the movement of the teeth more quickly and less painful, since there is less friction between the arch and the brackets. The low friction brackets are the most modern conventional orthodontic technology that exists to achieve a perfect smile. These new systems have managed to reduce treatment time in most cases without the need for extractions of teeth and with less discomfort.

Benefits:

• This system manages to reduce treatment times.
• Reduce the discomfort.
• By not wearing ligatures, the duration of each revision visit is reduced.
• It allows a better hygiene comparing with traditional brackets.
• There is the possibility of applying this technique to transparent brackets.
• Steps:
• Orthodontic study: the orthodontist detects the problem and elaborates the treatment plan.
• Start of treatment: braces are placed and oral hygiene instructions are provided.
• Periodic reviews: the evolution of the treatment is reviewed and the brackets are adjusted.
• Retention phase: once the treatment is finished, a retainer is to be placed to prevent the movement of the teeth to their original position and to maintain the achieved result.
