Self-ligating metal braces, unlike conventional ones, use a specialized clip system to help the archwire guide teeth into their ideal position. Therefore, they dont need elastics.
Aesthetic self-ligating metal braces
This type of metal orthodontics offers an advanced design to improve treatment time and orthodontic efficacy. In addition, they will provide the patient with an improvement in aesthetics in relation to self-ligating metal brackets, since the support is white or transparent.
Lingual appliances
Lingual orthodontics consists of placing the brackets on the inner face of the teeth. The great advantage of this device is, without a doubt, the aesthetics it offers, since they are imperceptible to the eyes of others.
