Self-ligating, frictionless braces
Making orthodontic care more efficient and more comfortable.
Self-ligation is an innovative orthodontic technology that makes wearing braces more efficient and more comfortable than ever before. Unlike traditional braces, which involve tying archwires in with elastic ties, self-ligating brackets feature a "sliding door" that holds a high-tech super-elastic archwire in place, allowing it to slide freely back and forth. This results in more patient comfort because there is less pressure to the teeth. For over two decades, Dr. Roger B. Elton has stayed at the forefront of the technological advances in orthodontics, and he is proud to offer you several brands of self-ligating braces, including the Damon® System from Ormco and the SmartClip™ System from 3M Unitek.
QUICKER, MORE COMFORTABLE TREATMENT.
Self-ligating, frictionless braces have a unique design that allows for freedom of movement. This means they can align your teeth more quickly and with less discomfort than traditional braces. In addition, self-ligating braces require fewer adjustments, which means your number of office visits to Dr. Elton will be greatly reduced.
You'll be happy to know that children and adults are candidates for self-ligating braces, so you can both take advantage of their many benefits. To learn more about self-ligating braces or any of the other orthodontic advances that Dr. Elton offers, call and schedule your appointment today!
