A modern evolution in braces technology — engineered to reduce discomfort, minimize appointment frequency, and accelerate your treatment timeline.

Self-ligating braces replace those ties with a built-in sliding clip mechanism on each bracket. The wire slides freely through the clip, allowing teeth to move with significantly less friction and more natural force.
This reduced friction has real, measurable benefits: less discomfort after adjustments, fewer required appointments, and in many cases a shorter overall treatment time. It's an ideal choice for patients who want efficient treatment with minimal chair time.
Self-ligating technology offers a distinct set of benefits over both traditional metal braces and elastic-tied ceramic braces. For the right patient, they can make a meaningful difference in the overall treatment experience.
Your orthodontist performs a thorough digital evaluation and determines if self-ligating braces are the optimal choice for your specific tooth movements and goals.
Self-ligating brackets are carefully bonded to each tooth. The built-in clip mechanism is engaged and the archwire is threaded through — no elastic ties required.
Thanks to reduced friction, adjustment appointments are often shorter and spaced further apart than with traditional braces — typically every 6–10 weeks.
When treatment is complete, brackets are gently removed and your teeth are polished. Custom retainers are fitted the same visit to protect your new smile.
