A perfect smile becomes a reality thanks to ligature-free braces! Bilobrov Clinic orthodontists recommend this solution for patients who dream of an effective, comfortable bite correction without compromising their appearance. For example, self-ligating (ligature-free) braces do not have ligature elastic bands. That is why they look aesthetically pleasing on the teeth and are very effective. Tremors, diastemas, irregularities and anomalies of the dentition – ligature-free braces can correct any problem. And thanks to the experience and professionalism of our orthodontists, the treatment process will be easy and comfortable. At the clinic, we make sure that every patient gets the desired result: a beautiful, healthy smile. We invite you to consult a dentist today.

Self-ligating braces are a modern alternative to traditional ligature braces. They have a special design that provides a number of advantages. Unlike traditional braces, where ligatures (rubber bands or metal brackets) are used to hold the arch, self-ligating or ligature-free braces have a special mechanism in each bracket that automatically holds the wire.

Since the arch is held without additional ligatures, the friction between the arch and the brackets is significantly reduced, which contributes to faster and smoother movement of the teeth. In addition, these braces are usually thinner and have a smoother surface, making them more comfortable and less visible.

Price of self-ligating braces in Kyiv

The cost of self-ligating braces is slightly higher compared to ligature braces. However, Bilobrov Clinic in Kyiv makes sure that every patient can afford bite correction. There is a loyalty program.

In addition, the price of self-ligating braces depends on the material from which they are made. It can be metal, ceramic, or a combination of both materials. In order for you to plan your budget, we always draw up a treatment plan in advance and coordinate all its stages. During a consultation with an orthodontist, you will find out how much it will cost to install self-ligating braces in your particular case.

Stages of installation of self-ligating (ligature-free) braces

At the first stage, the orthodontist examines the oral cavity, assesses the bite, takes X-rays, photographs of the face and teeth, and takes dental impressions. This is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and the creation of a detailed treatment plan. Next steps:

  • Preparing for installation. Immediately before installing braces, the doctor performs a thorough teeth cleaning. If there is caries, it also needs to be treated.
  • Installing brackets. The orthodontist applies a special glue to the surface of each tooth where the bracket will be placed and fixes it in place. Then he uses a special light to quickly harden the glue.
  • Setting up the arc. One of the unique features of self-ligating braces is that the orthodontic arch is inserted directly into each bracket. This reduces the need for additional ligatures or brackets.
  • Settings. After inserting the arch, the orthodontist adjusts its position to create the necessary pressure on the teeth. According to the individual treatment plan, the orthodontist can make further adjustments.
  • Care instructions. After the braces are installed, the patient receives instructions on how to properly care for the braces and teeth, including recommendations for cleaning, flossing, and diet.
  • Regular monitoring. During the entire treatment period, the patient should visit the orthodontist regularly to check progress and make necessary adjustments.

After treatment, the braces are removed, and the orthodontist evaluates the final results. After that, you will undergo a retention period: the installation of a retainer that will help to consolidate the results of bite correction.

Advantages of installing self-ligating braces

Self-ligating braces create less friction between the bracket and the arch, which reduces discomfort and pain during wear. This makes treatment more comfortable, especially in the initial stages. Reduced friction contributes to smooth and fast movement of the teeth, which can reduce the overall treatment time.

Traditional braces require ligatures to hold the wire, while self-ligating braces have a built-in mechanism that eliminates the need for them. This simplifies the design and reduces the number of components required.

Additional advantages of ceramic braces without ligatures:

  • The absence of ligatures makes it difficult for plaque and food to accumulate around the braces. This makes it easier to clean your teeth and reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Aesthetic appearance. Self-ligating braces are often less visible than traditional braces. They can have a more stylish and modern look, which is important for some patients, especially adults.
  • Fewer visits to the orthodontist. Since there is no need for regular ligature replacement, patients with self-ligating braces may need fewer visits to the orthodontist for adjustments.
  • More even pressure distribution. Self-ligating braces provide a more even distribution of pressure on the teeth, which contributes to more effective and comfortable treatment.

Although self-ligating braces may not be suitable for some complex orthodontic cases, they are effective for most typical situations, making them a versatile option for a correct bite.

Dental care after installing self-ligating braces

Dental care after self-ligating braces helps to avoid problems with teeth and gums. Here are some key recommendations:

  • Thorough daily brushing. It is important to brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  • Flossing. Flossing will help clean the spaces between your teeth.
  • Mouthwash. Regular use of antibacterial mouthwash helps fight bacteria and reduce the risk of gum disease.
  • Restrictions on eating hard, sticky, or crumbly foods. Such foods can damage the braces or get stuck in them. You should also avoid excessive sugar consumption to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
