Self Ligating Braces

A Smarter, Smoother Path to a Beautiful Smile

Looking for a more advanced, comfortable alternative to traditional braces? Self-ligating braces might be your ideal choice.

Unlike conventional braces that use elastic bands (ligatures) to hold wires in place, self-ligating braces use a built-in clip mechanism that adjusts naturally with your teeth’s movement. This means fewer visits, less pressure, and faster results — all while maintaining excellent alignment precision.

At Tooth Junction, we offer the latest self-ligating braces in Mahanadi Vihar, Cuttack, customized to fit your smile goals with comfort and care.

What Makes Self-Ligating Braces Different?

  • No Elastic Ties: The braces use a smart clip or door system to hold the wire, reducing friction and improving tooth movement.

  • Fewer Appointments: You don’t need frequent tightening — adjustments are smoother and more spaced out.

  • More Comfortable: Less force is needed, so there’s less soreness and pressure on your teeth and gums.

  • Easier to Clean: Without elastic bands, it’s easier to maintain better oral hygiene.

FAQs

Are self-ligating braces faster than traditional braces?
Yes, in most cases. Self-ligating braces reduce friction and allow teeth to move more freely, which can shorten the overall treatment time — especially in mild to moderate alignment issues.
Will I still need to visit the clinic regularly?
Yes, but less often. Self-ligating braces need fewer adjustments, so appointments are more spaced out compared to traditional braces.
Are they more comfortable?
Yes. Since there are no elastic ties and the system applies gentler, consistent pressure, patients usually report less pain and discomfort.
Are self-ligating braces visible?
They look similar to metal or ceramic braces, but sleeker. You can choose between metal and clear (ceramic) options depending on your preference.
Do they cost more than regular braces?
Yes, But the comfort, shorter treatment duration, and fewer appointments often justify the cost for many patients.
Do self-ligating braces work for all types of dental misalignment?
They’re highly effective for most cases, including overcrowding and bite correction. In severe cases, your orthodontist will evaluate the best option.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes. Regardless of the type of braces, wearing a retainer is essential after treatment to maintain your newly aligned smile.
Do self-ligating braces stain over time?
The brackets themselves are resistant to staining, especially if you choose metal. If you opt for clear ceramic brackets, maintaining good oral hygiene helps prevent discoloration.
