Self-ligating silver braces

Self ligating braces

In our practice, there are always some patients wearing so-called self-ligating silver braces.They are usually the Damon series from Ormco or Innovation from GAC. These braces have cleverly-designed gates incorporated into their design. When the gates are open, arch-wires can be placed. Once the wire has been placed, the gates are shut again. No elastic modules are necessary to hold the wire into the bracket slots - but chains of elastic modules may still be necessary if separate teeth or groups of teeth need to be pulled against each other.

We have also treated many cases with the newest version of 3M Unitek’s Smartclip silver bracket. We tend to be the practice of choice for any patient moving to Melbourne with Smartclip appliances already in place. (In another section our use of clear Clarity Smartclip self-ligating braces is outlined).
