Today’s metal braces have come a long way and are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than in the past. Patients of Shullman Orthodontics who choose metal braces also benefit from our exclusive use of the more efficient self-ligating braces over conventional styles of braces. We are proud to offer self-ligating braces made exclusively by American Orthodontics – made right here in the United States.
While self-ligating braces are placed on the teeth in the same way as conventional braces, the elastic or rubber bands are no longer necessary to move the arch wire slowly into place during the teeth straightening process. Instead, the self-ligating braces have special clips that guide the arch wire into place. The self-ligating clips move the arch wire more efficiently, as there is no additional friction caused by the rubber band sliding over each tooth.
Patients love wearing our self-ligating braces in Wellington, FL, because it means that their treatment times are faster than the “old” conventional metal braces and they don’t need the elastics replaced at every office visit.
