We offer metal self-ligating braces for patients who want to achieve a beautiful smile with a comfortable, convenient treatment process in Issaquah.
Innovative self-ligating braces are made of high-grade space age metal alloys, and are more comfortable and discreet than traditional braces.
Self-ligating braces use a passive slide mechanism to align the teeth, meaning brackets are clipped into the archwire to hold the wire in place. Traditional braces use elastic ties or rubber bands to anchor the archwire to the bracket, whereas self-ligating braces are completely tie-less.
This tie-less function makes braces more comfortable, as it minimizes friction. It also allows teeth to move independently of each other (instead of moving simultaneously), which allows for a quicker, more efficient treatment process.
No, self-ligating braces don’t have colored rubber bands that need replacing, which means fewer orthodontist visits for you! At each appointment, Dr. Tripti Pawar will simply assess your progress to determine if any changes need to be made to your treatment plan.
Self-ligating braces are known to be more comfortable than traditional braces, as these innovative brackets are smaller and more compact. The tie-less features also eliminates any soreness associated with ‘tightening’ braces.
Smaller brackets are easier to brush and floss around, and they ensure that you’re able to remove all food and debris from your brackets and wires.
We also offer ceramic self-ligating braces for patients who prefer an even more discreet appearance.
For patients who wish to maintain a clean, professional appearance using a highly-effective, innovative form of braces, self-ligating braces are an ideal option!
