Self-Ligating Braces
Advanced Technology for Faster Results
We are pleased to offer advanced, self-ligating braces in Durham, Oxford, and surrounding areas in NC. Self-ligating braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. Thanks to these innovative new braces, achieving your perfect smile can be faster and easier than you ever thought possible!
An Award-Winning Orthodontic Clinic Offering Self-Ligating Braces in Durham & Oxford, NC
Orthodontic treatment is always advancing along with breakthroughs in science and technology, meaning that nowadays, people seeking to straighten their teeth have more choices than ever. While clear aligners and traditional braces tend to be the most popular, there’s another option that deserves mentioning: Self-ligating braces. At Wilson Orthodontics, we are an award-winning orthodontic clinic offering self-ligating braces for patients in Durham & Oxford, North Carolina. Read on to learn about the benefits of this treatment option.
Self-Ligating Braces—a World Without Elastic Ties
Self-ligating braces eliminate the need for elastic or metal “ties.” Instead, self-ligating braces use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the arch wire guide teeth to place. These clips help reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace. With self-ligating braces, you can look forward to:
Faster Treatment Times
While treatment time can vary for each patient, clinical studies demonstrate that self-ligating braces work up to six months faster than traditional metal braces.
Versatility
While clear aligners like Invisalign can be effective at straightening some crooked teeth, not everyone is a candidate. In contrast, self-ligating braces work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to perfectly align ALL teeth for a phenomenal smile that enhances your entire facial appearance.
Increased Comfort
Even though self-ligating braces work quickly, the use of gentle, low-friction force means less discomfort for you. Light “shape memory” titanium wires are used, gently guiding your teeth to their ideal position.
Convenience
Self-Ligating braces are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and easy to keep clean. Without the elastic ties, which attract and collect plaque, self-ligating braces make dental hygiene easy during treatment. Plus, they are available in clear brackets for patients who want a great smile without sacrificing aesthetics. Another benefit is that there’s no need to worry about lost, misplaced, or forgotten aligners.
