SELF-LIGATING BRACES

Self-ligating braces, in comparison to traditional metal braces, have a different way of securing the wire within the bracket slot. Instead of holding the wire by an elastic color tie, Self-Ligating Braces utilize a built-in spring clip as part of the bracket. The philosophy behind Self-Ligating Braces is based on the physical advantages of using a metal clip to secure the wire within the bracket. Mechanically, there is less friction from the metal wire sliding against a metal clip; in contrast to an elastic tie binding to the wire and inducing a higher frictional resistance. So you can expect the following benefits during treatment:

METAL AND CLEAR BRACES

Self-Ligating Metal Braces are the most common type of braces amongst our younger patients. They are made of high-quality stainless steel.

Self-ligating Clear Braces are less visible than Metal Braces. They are made of ceramic and do not stain. Hence, they are more commonly used on older teenagers and adults.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This is what everyone wants to know, but it’s one we don’t have a concrete answer for. Every mouth is different, and every patient responds to treatment in their own way. Treatment time with Metal Braces Oakville will be different every time.

The average time spent in braces is around 18 to 24 months but could be shorter or longer, depending on the individual. We have patients in braces for as little as six months. But for complex issues, it can take over three years to complete the process.

With braces, you can see signs of improvement in just a short time, and that motivates you during the treatment process.

Braces are used by an orthodontist to help you improve the look and feel of your smile. There are several different types of braces to choose from, including:

  • Clear braces
  • Ceramic braces
  • Self-ligating braces
  • Invisible braces
  • Traditional metal braces

The amount of time spent in braces will vary, depending on the individual patient, because every smile responds differently to treatment. Treatment times can take anywhere from six to 30 months, but most standard treatments last about 18 months.

Braces do not often hurt, though you may feel a small amount of discomfort for a couple days as your teeth, gums, cheeks, and mouth get used to your new braces.

With braces, you should brush your teeth at least three times a day to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy and clean. Brushing regularly will help remove any food that may be caught between your braces.

You should also floss daily to get between your braces where your brush isn’t able to reach. Dr. Sood can show you how to brush and floss properly once your braces are placed.

Playing an instrument or a contact sport may require some adjustment when you first get your braces, but wearing braces will not stop you from participating in any of your school activities. If you play a contact sport, it is recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your braces or appliance.
