Metal Self-Ligating Braces is an advanced orthodontic system that uses metal brackets with built-in sliding clips to hold the archwire, replacing the need for elastic bands. The design allows the wire to move freely through the brackets, applying gentle, continuous forces to guide teeth into proper alignment. Our affiliated clinic uses Clippy M; the brackets are smaller in size, making the braces less bulky and more comfortable while maintaining effective tooth movement. These metal brackets are often recommended for its efficiency, precision, and modern approach to orthodontic treatment.

The benefits of Metal Self-Ligating Braces include reduced friction, which can shorten overall treatment time and decrease pressure on gums and teeth. The absence of elastic ties simplifies oral hygiene, lowering the risk of plaque buildup and cavities. Fewer dental visits are required as the brackets securely hold the wire in place without regular adjustments of elastic bands. Overall, this braces system combines comfort, aesthetics, and effectiveness, allowing for efficient correction of misaligned teeth under professional dental supervision.

Metal Self-Ligating Braces begins with a consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic, during which dental alignment, bite, and oral health are assessed. The dentist will take X-rays, and impressions of the teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. Once the plan is finalized, the teeth are cleaned and prepared for bracket placement, ensuring a smooth and secure bond.

Placing the complete braces typically takes around 1 to 2 hours. Small metal brackets with built-in sliding clips are bonded to each tooth, and the archwire is inserted through the clips. The sliding clips hold the wire in place without the need for elastic bands, allowing teeth to move with gentle, continuous pressure. This reduces friction and irritation, promoting more efficient tooth movement while minimizing discomfort.

Downtime is minimal, with slight soreness or pressure for 3 to 4 days after the braces are placed or after periodic adjustments. Normal activities, such as eating and speaking, can continue with minor adaptation in the first few days.
