Self-Ligating Brackets, the Trap Door Diffference
 
 

 

 

 

Why not a little Trap Door?


The specialty of Orthodontics has seen several generations of self-ligating brackets-a type of bracket that holds the archwire with a tiny clip instead of a colorful band or thin wire ligature.

 

The current interest in non-ligating brackets was inspired by Dr. Dwight Damon.

Some people believe that use of this bracket can shorten appointments and, in a few cases, shorten over-all treatment time. It is a different type of appliance that some patients think is intriguing and fun.

Having tried many variations of the self-ligating bracket, and been disappointed by some, we like the variety made by American Orthodontics. It is unsurpassed in efficiency and quality. Plus it is not as bulky as some of the Damon varieties tended to be. The best one available to the specialty!
