The price of self-ligating metal braces is a concern of many patients when coming to Da Nang Implant dentistry and those questions will be answered through this article.
Self-ligating metal braces is an aesthetic orthodontic technique that uses brackets that can automatically open and close to keep the wire from slipping on the jaw. Automatically opening and closing latches are used to replace colorful elastic bands commonly found in fixed braces. The new improved structure is the outstanding advantage, and is also the reason why the price of self-ligating metal braces is higher than regular metal braces.
Metal braces help improve the condition of crooked teeth effectively
The basic difference between self-ligating metal braces and fixed metal braces is the elastic band and automatic latch.
With regular metal braces, the brackets are connected by wires and fixed with elastic on the teeth. Although they have high elasticity, after a period of use, these elastics will easily come off, reducing the friction of the wire in the bracket groove, causing the brackets to easily slip off the teeth.
Self-ligating metal braces have a higher price than usual
As for braces with self-ligating metal braces, do not use elastic. Instead, use pins that can be opened and closed flexibly to help fix the wire in the bracket groove. The archwires can slide freely in the bracket groove, helping to maintain a more stable force while minimizing friction. This is why the orthodontist will have less pain and the arch wire will also less likely to come loose. Besides, automatic metal braces have small and round faces, so oral hygiene is easier.
How will this sliding latch system be created? Before creating braces, the orthodontist will carefully measure and calculate the size of each tooth to create braces with exact measurements for the teeth. Thanks to that, self-ligating metal braces often bring higher efficiency and shorter treatment time than the classic method.
Because of differences in design, the price of self-ligating metal braces is often higher than traditional metal braces. However, in return, this method brings many outstanding benefits.
The two methods of braces have differences in: treatment time, level of irritation, aesthetics, cost,…
