Dental Self-ligating Bracket for Othodontic
A self-ligating bracket is a type of orthodontic bracket (the "braces" attached to teeth) that has a built-in mechanism to hold the archwire in place, eliminating the need for elastic or metal "ties."
Traditional Brackets: Use small elastic bands (o-rings) or thin steel wires (ligatures) to tie the archwire into the bracket slot.
Self-Ligating Brackets: Have a built-in clip, door, or slide that opens and closes to secure the archwire.
The core innovation is this integrated "locking" mechanism.
They are primarily categorized into two types based on how the mechanism interacts with the archwire:
Passive Self-Ligating Brackets:
The clip or door closes over the archwire but does not actively press against it.
The archwire sits passively in the bracket slot, allowing it to slide more freely.
Philosophy: Low, continuous friction, which is theorized to allow for more efficient tooth movement and lighter forces.
Examples: Damon System™, SmartClip™ (3M).
Active Self-Ligating Brackets:
The clip or spring is designed to actively press against the archwire, holding it firmly into the base of the bracket slot.
This can provide more control over the tooth, especially in the early stages of treatment when a smaller, flexible wire is used.
Philosophy: Active engagement allows for precise control of tooth position from the very beginning.
Examples: In-Ovation® R, SPEED™ System.
Proponents of self-ligating brackets highlight several potential benefits:
Reduced Friction: The primary claimed advantage. Without elastic ties pinning the wire down, there is less friction between the wire and the bracket. This is theorized to allow teeth to slide along the wire more easily, potentially leading to:
Faster Treatment Times: Some studies and clinical reports suggest a reduction in overall treatment time, though this is a topic of ongoing debate in the orthodontic community.
Lighter Forces: The system can use lighter, more biologically compatible forces to move teeth, which may be more comfortable and better for oral health.
