Braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that consists of 3 main components – modules, metal brackets and metal wires.
Braces are effective in correcting a wide variety of conditions and provide an array of benefits. On top of the aesthetic benefits of a straighter smile, correcting your crooked teeth can improve your oral health. It ensures that biting pressure is spread out evenly across your teeth, thus reducing premature wear and tear.
Additionally, it is easier to clean and brush your teeth when they are straight as there are no nooks and crannies for plaque to hide.
Self-ligating braces use a built-in system to secure the archwire to the brackets. You may also hear this system referred to as self-ligating brackets.
This ligation method is different from traditional braces, in which tiny elastic bands or metal ties are applied to the brackets to hold the archwire in place. These are called ligatures.
Process Of Getting Braces
The treatment duration for braces varies across individuals and the complexity of your current teeth condition.
1. Consultation & Diagnosis
During your first visit, your dentist will scan your teeth to create a digitalized image, which will then be used to plan out a precise treatment plan customised just for you.
2. Fitting of Braces
At your next appointment, you will undergo fitting for your braces. This process is painless and will take around 30 minutes. Your dentist will brief you on dos and don’ts (such as which foods to avoid) and the best way to take care of your teeth and braces.
3. After Getting Braces
Our dentists will review your teeth progress and oral health condition every 6 to 8 weeks. After completing the entire treatment, you will be given customised retainers to maintain the alignment of your teeth.
Benefits of Self-Ligating & Damon braces
Shorter visits
For traditional braces, individual ligatures must be replaced during an adjustment. Generally speaking, opening and shutting of self-ligating brackets during an adjustment is less time consuming.
Easier cleaning
Ligatures can trap food particles in and around your brackets. The absence of ligatures in self-ligating braces may make them a little easier to clean.
Less discomfort
It’s possible that you might experience less discomfort with self-ligating braces than with traditional braces. This is because there’s lesser friction between wires and brackets only (in self ligating braces) compared to friction between wires, rubbers and brackets (in traditional braces).
