Non-ligature metal braces. Ligature-free braces. Description of system capabilities. Features of non-ligature braces

Non-ligature and ligature braces are orthodontic structures that correct malocclusion and uneven dentition. The systems have different strengths, so the decision to choose individual method Treatment is best left to the dentist.

Ligature braces

The arch in the ligature bracket system is held in the grooves using metal elements made of a medical alloy or silicone rubber bands. They control the degree of tension in the archwire and influence the speed at which teeth are straightened. Ligatures stretch over time, lose their force, or break, so the patient must regularly visit the orthodontist to replace the metal elements.

If the assistive devices are made of elastic material, a person can learn to change them without the help of a doctor. These include classic metal devices, often installed in childhood, when the teeth and jaw bones are much easier to correct.

Advantages and disadvantages of ligature systems

To make more aesthetically pleasing modern braces, ceramics, gold or artificial sapphire crystals are used, which can be ligated or unligated. The main advantages of having a ligature:

Easier for a specialist to control healing process, changing the level of impact of the bracket system. This achieves a fairly quick and effective correction of anomalies in the placement of teeth, expansion or narrowing of the jaw.
If the fixed device of braces with a ligature is worn by a child, for young patients there is big variety interesting colored rubber bands for fixing the arch.
For ceramic plates, you can choose transparent or white ligatures, replacing them according to the degree of color change. As a rule, coloring substances contained in food cause the elastic elements to acquire a yellowish tint after two weeks.
Replacing decorative ligatures with metal ones allows the doctor to influence the speed of tooth movement at the end of treatment. This technique helps to quickly achieve the desired effect without injury - the teeth at this point achieve good mobility.
A reliable ligature system is successfully used to correct dental growth pathologies at any age and has the most affordable price among bracket systems.
Compared to other types of orthodontic appliances, ligature braces require less time to achieve the desired result.

Ligatures serve to firmly connect the brackets, so the high-strength structure can withstand any tension and provide excellent control of tooth rotation. However, the old bulky design of braces with ligatures has several significant disadvantages:

The patient is forced to constantly visit the doctor.
The adaptation period to ligature braces is slightly longer.
Painful sensations quite pronounced and occur every time after replacing the ligature with a new element.
Ligatures for braces made of artificial sapphires and ceramics can quickly be stained, requiring frequent replacement.
Orthodontic appliances require very careful oral hygiene after every meal.

The presence of a ligature system makes the design more noticeable. There are lingual braces that are attached to the inner surface of the tooth enamel, but their use in combination with ligatures negatively affects the quality of diction.

Non-ligature braces

Ligation-free brace system for correcting defects oral cavity preferred by most patients. Its principle of operation is the absence of fastening elements due to the special structure of the bracket itself. It has locks that are convenient for the dentist, securing the metal arc in the grooves. This device is more expensive, but has greater aesthetics. The self-ligating product has good performance in quickly correcting orthodontic defects, which is why dentists especially like it.

Pros and cons of non-ligature systems

Many orthodontists and patients choose self-ligating devices, which take up minimal space on the tooth crown, which significantly affects appearance. Basic positive traits bracket systems:

Designs without ligatures are made of ceramics, plastic and artificially grown sapphire, which makes the device an aesthetic accessory, and not just a forced vestibular product that spoils the appearance.
The movement of teeth is carried out gradually, with the same force applied.
The sliding of the arch in the grooves occurs more smoothly due to the smooth polished surface of the bracket.
Braces without ligature systems bring less discomfort to patients and cause less pronounced painful sensations.
The need for frequent visits to the orthodontist is minimized; consultation can usually be done in 8-12 weeks.
One of the most popular non-ligature systems is Damon, an American design characterized by a beautiful modern design and comfortable to wear.

In some cases not complex pathologies devices without ligatures are able to quickly correct the position of teeth. It is also possible to use them at the final stage of treatment - to consolidate the result obtained from the metal ligature structure. Materials for non-ligature products are resistant to staining with natural food coloring, which is an additional advantage.

Small disadvantages of products without ligatures:

With their help, significant defects and abnormalities in the development of the jaw cannot be corrected.
Less force when straightening teeth than in classic ligature devices.
A high price, which is not always justified as a result of treatment.
The effectiveness of the application depends on the qualifications of the orthodontist - even braces cannot always correct the bite.

Before using fixed orthodontic appliances, doctors often carry out preparations, which sometimes include removing a healthy tooth. This is necessary to create a free space, which is gradually filled by other teeth in the long process of alignment. Before installing a ligature-free structure, such preparation is not always carried out.

What are the differences between ligature and non-ligature braces?

The difference between the effects of the two types of devices lies in the presence of an auxiliary element - a ligature. The aesthetic appearance and speed of obtaining the treatment effect depend on the presence of a small component. Braces without ligatures have a youthful and attractive appearance, but are used in cases of light correction of the dentition. Positive effects, as well as differences between ligature and non-ligature braces:

Patients feel less pain when starting to wear ligature-free braces. Due to the slow movement of teeth from their permanent place, discomfort manifests itself less in contrast to devices with ligatures, which are even characterized by an increase in temperature in the first day after installation.
Carrying out hygiene procedures much easier with a self-ligating device. Each meal should be completed with a thorough cleaning of the oral cavity, which is carried out using special toothbrushes for braces, dental brushes and irrigators. This set is necessary to remove food particles in the interdental space between the arch and the tooth.
The speed of treatment and obtaining a satisfactory result is higher when using ligature orthopedic installations. Their action can be called more aggressive, but capable of eliminating large violations anatomical shape jaws and dentition.
The advantage is that braces without ligatures stand out little against the background of the tooth crown, making the structure inconspicuous. Transparent sapphire braces imitate the shade of enamel and give the structure a special shine.

After a long period of treatment with a brace system with or without a ligature, dentists always prescribe the wearing of orthodontic structures that secure the result. The patient should know that in order to establish and fix the final teeth, sometimes this time takes from 1.5 - 2 to lifelong.

Modern ligature and non-ligature braces are manufactured using medical of stainless steel and other components that perform medicinal and aesthetic purposes. Each patient, with the help of a competent orthodontist, can choose best option treatment that suits his problem.

Beautiful ligature-free braces look more aesthetically pleasing in the photo.

Braces are the most common orthodontic device used to straighten teeth and correct bites. Today, manufacturers of relevant products offer patients various options designs and materials from which they are made. Ligature braces- this is a “classic of the genre” in orthodontics, which is time-tested. The specialists of the Shifa clinic have extensive experience working with ligature brace systems from leading European and American manufacturers. We guarantee our patients a beautiful Hollywood smile at affordable prices.

Ligature braces. Main characteristics

Ligature braces are a traditional design of an appropriate orthodontic device, which has been successfully used by doctors for several decades. They consist of three key components:

A bracket is a small plate that is fixed on the surface of the tooth.
Ligature is a rubber ring (sometimes it can be a metal wire) that secures the bracket to the arch.
An arch is a metal wire that connects all braces and provides traction (displacement) of teeth in a given direction.

The described design has proven its effectiveness in millions of patients. Metal ligature braces provide a relatively quick shift of the dentition in the required direction due to the reliable fixation of the plates to the tooth enamel and the operating features of the device.

Advantages and disadvantages

Ligature braces are a reliable way to straighten teeth and bite. The main advantage of the appropriate design remains the rapid achievement of the desired result. In addition, good fixation of the bracket to the arch using a ligature guarantees the reliability of the device, regardless of how the patient wears it. An important advantage of ligature systems is their availability. They are significantly cheaper compared to self-ligating (ligature-free) braces. This fact determines the popularity of the traditional design among most patients.

However, ligature braces also have a number of disadvantages:

Cumbersome design. During the first 3-4 days, the patient needs to get used to the sensations of third-party devices in the mouth.
Discomfort in the first days. Due to the pronounced traction of the dentition, the patient will almost always feel discomfort or even moderate pain in the mouth at the beginning of treatment, which is caused by the movement of the teeth.
Difficulties in performing oral hygiene. Having attachments on your teeth can make them more difficult to clean. Orthodontists at the Shifa clinic devote special time to teaching their patients how to properly care for their oral cavity.
Unsatisfactory aesthetic effect. For many people, having bulky braces on their teeth can cause psychological discomfort. However, over time this problem passes. The speed of treatment contributes to its solution.

It is also worth considering that the presence of ligatures in brace systems indirectly leads to the need to visit a doctor more often to correct the operation of the device. Despite these disadvantages, the number of patients wishing to use ligature braces is not decreasing.

Straight teeth and correct bite are important element person's image. It is a smile that helps create a positive impression of a person. Unfortunately, not every person can boast of an even beautiful smile from nature. Often the teeth are located unevenly in the dentition.

Some people think that the problem with bite is only aesthetic, and therefore it is quite possible to come to terms with it. But it is not so. The body is a coordinated system. A failure in one area can lead to significant disruption in another. Thus, an incorrect bite leads to disturbances in chewing food, and this, in turn, over time causes disruptions in the gastrointestinal tract, diseases of the stomach and intestines. In turn, problems with digesting food lead to disruptions in the functioning of the body as a whole.

This is why it is so important to correct malocclusions in a timely manner. And one of the main methods to this day remains the use of ligature brace systems.

What are ligature braces?

As the name suggests, the main distinguishing element of the bracket system is the presence of elastic ligatures that fix the braces in a stable position on the arch. Nowadays, ligatures are often used as an aesthetic element, so they can be the most different colors: from the simplest, silver (“metal-like”), to white, black or any other. Nowadays you can find ligatures of all colors of the rainbow, so it’s easy to choose a color that shades the enamel, makes your teeth visually whiter, match the color of the ligature to the color of your skin and eyes, or simply choose your favorite color.

Types of braces

Braces systems are divided into lingual and vestibular.

Lingual ones are installed with inside teeth, they are invisible to an outside observer.

Vestibular is a classic brace system that is installed on outside teeth. It is in their construction that ligatures are used.

How does a ligature bracket system work?

The braces are firmly fixed to the teeth and secured with a ligature to the orthodontic arch. The spring arch tends to return from the position in which it is installed to its original position. At the same time, she pulls her teeth along with her, gradually changing their position. About once every 1-2 months, an orthodontist conducts an examination and changes the elements of the orthodontic structure so that changes in the position of the teeth go in the right direction.

Pros and cons of ligature braces

Like any method of correcting a bite, this has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

Excellent results from using the system to solve orthodontic problems. This is one of the most effective methods bite correction today
A wide range of disorders for which ligature structures can be used
It is possible to change the appearance of the system by changing the color of ligatures and locks
Affordability. This is a fairly budget-friendly type of braces.

The system also has disadvantages:

Ligatures require correction - due to their elasticity, they can stretch, so you have to visit the orthodontist more often than in the case of installing self-ligating braces
Elements that are too hard can cause discomfort when worn
The process of correcting the bite may take longer than with non-ligature systems
Light rubber elements may change color when in contact with colored food and drinks

What to choose - ligature or non-ligature braces?

The operating principle of a non-ligature construction is easiest to understand if you compare it with a ligature construction.

Classic ligature braces: clasps are fixed on the surface of each tooth and connected to each other by an orthodontic arch. The clasps and arch are attached to each other with fasteners - ligatures. They can be special rubber bands or wires. These elements gradually move the teeth and bite into the position specified by the orthodontist. This happens due to the teeth overcoming the frictional force. The disadvantage of ligatures is that they need to be changed frequently during the treatment process, as they stretch and cease to perform their function, plus they lose their original aesthetic appearance - they change color.

To make orthodontic treatment more comfortable for the patient, manufacturers of dental corrective structures have developed braces without ligatures. They differ from classic ligature ones in the way the clasps and arches are connected: the latches in them are replaced with special latched covers built directly into the clasps themselves. It turns out that the locks seem to be strung on an arc, and not attached to it with “clothespins”.

During treatment with ligature-free braces, the frequency of visits to the dentist is reduced: the fixing elements in them do not fail, so the structure needs to be adjusted much less frequently.

Wearing ligature and non-ligature braces: what is the difference?

Both types of structures effectively fulfill their task - correct pathology of teeth closure, return teeth to an anatomically correct position. But for the patient, the process of wearing them will be different.

Non-ligature designs look neater, “lighter”, more inconspicuous: they have no additional elements, and the clasps themselves are smaller.

Caring for self-ligating systems is much easier: metal and rubber ligatures often contain food fragments and need to be cleaned more thoroughly and for longer.

The main difference we have already mentioned is the frequency of correction. When wearing classic ligature braces, you need to visit the orthodontist every three to four weeks, and when wearing non-ligature braces - every six to eight weeks. For many patients, this is a decisive moment when choosing orthodontic system.

Photos of treatment stages on self-ligating braces

What materials are ligature-free braces made from?

Locks for self-ligating structures are made from the same materials as for classic ligature braces - metal, ceramics and artificial sapphires.

They are the easiest to install and remove. These durable, reliable systems correct all malocclusion pathologies and effectively move teeth into the desired position. Cheaper than designs made from other materials, therefore popular with patients.

Self-ligating ceramic braces

Made from durable dental ceramics white different shades, so they look more attractive than metal ones. The clasps of such systems are invisible, since the ceramics merge with the tooth enamel. The only noticeable detail is the orthodontic arch. They have one drawback - fragility compared to structures made from other materials.

Like ceramic ones, they are almost invisible on the teeth. They are, of course, not made from natural sapphires - otherwise their price would be very high. In production we use transparent artificial material, characteristics identical to sapphires. They reflect light and make your smile really sparkle. Sapphire braces They are more often used in the treatment of complex bite pathologies; they are stronger than ceramic ones.

Aesthetic system without ligatures - what is it?

It is widely believed that non-ligature braces are a type of aesthetic system. In fact, this is only partly true.

Aesthetic self-ligating braces include ceramic and sapphire designs. Metal ones, although they look more attractive than ligature systems due to small locks, can hardly be called aesthetic. They look neat, but are much more noticeable than designs made of ceramics and artificial sapphires.

Also, aesthetic non-ligature braces include lingual systems - they are attached to the “lingual”, inner surface of the teeth. Such designs are invisible and are often chosen by public people.

The only drawback of non-ligature aesthetic systems is the high price. In order to reduce it, dentists combine materials: in the frontal zone on upper teeth are fixed with sapphire or ceramic clasps, and on lower jaw, chewing teeth- metal.

Main brands of self-ligating non-ligating braces

Popular brands of non-ligation systems include Damon, Clarity, Experience, In Ovation, H4.

Damon. Perhaps the most famous brand of braces without ligatures. Its product line includes designs to solve any problems with bite and misalignment of teeth. The main advantage of these American systems is the damper mount developed by the company. It simplifies the archwire replacement process and reduces correction time.

Experience. Japanese non-ligature designs, characterized by the small size of the clasps and their structure. Each clasp fits very tightly to the tooth enamel. Plus Experience controls the movement of each tooth.

Clarity SL. Damon's main competitors. They are made of ceramic, but the groove in their clasps is made of stainless steel. This guarantees smooth sliding of the arc, as in metal systems. At the same time, they are classified as aesthetic systems, since they are invisible on the teeth. Treatment duration with Clarity SL is typically reduced by 25%. However, it all depends on the clinical picture.

In Ovation C. These are ceramic non-ligature structures from the American company DENTSPLY. These systems are designed to prevent incorrect fixation. In Ovation C clasps are 100% protected from discoloration during wear - for this, the manufacturer coated them with a layer of zirconium dioxide.

H4. Another self-ligating braces made in America. They are distinguished by a low profile of the locks and a minimum size of the groove for the orthodontic arch. Allow in the best possible way control treatment at the final stage.

How are ligature-free systems installed?

The process of fixing self-ligating non-ligature structures is no different from installing classical ligature systems.

Before fixing the structure, it is carried out full examination oral cavity, sometimes to achieve the desired result of orthodontic treatment, teeth are removed and dentures are installed. All carious lesions must be removed and professional cleaning carried out.

Locks of the chosen design are fixed to the teeth. This happens with the help of dental glue. This is the most critical stage: incorrectly installed locks will negatively affect the duration and quality of treatment.

If necessary, the remaining glue is removed, and the clasps are finally secured to the teeth using a lamp with ultraviolet light.

On the side, on the chewing teeth, orthodontic rings and locks are fixed.

All installed locks are connected to each other by means of an orthodontic arch, which is fixed in their grooves.

Installation of the system takes about one hour. And here preparatory stage may well last for several weeks or even months - it all depends on the initial condition of the patient’s oral cavity.

Which braces to choose - with or without ligatures?

Non-ligature braces look more aesthetically pleasing than classic ligature braces, reduce the number of visits to the orthodontist, correct the bite faster, move teeth more gently, and can be used for periodontal diseases. Thanks to the design of self-ligating systems, the process of their correction takes fifteen to twenty minutes. In addition, the absence of ligatures protects against pain that can occur if the orthodontist “tightens” the ligature.

The disadvantage of self-ligating structures is their high price. Apparently, for this reason, classic ligature systems are still very popular. They are especially often chosen by teenagers and young people, who, in addition to saving money, receive another bonus - the opportunity to experiment with the color of the ligatures, making their braces unique, emphasizing their individuality.

In general, when choosing an orthodontic system, doctors and patients are guided by two principles - the ability to effectively get rid of malocclusion pathology and the ability to pay for treatment. Both ligature and non-ligature constructions allow you to achieve the desired result.

Ligature braces are a new and modern method therapy malocclusion. With the help of such structures, it is possible to eliminate the incorrect position of the teeth, dentition, jaws and normalize the impaired functions of the oral organs. Ligature braces are a great way to create perfect teeth and a beautiful smile.

What are ligature and non-ligature braces?

A ligature bracket system is a product consisting of ordinary elements. Serves to treat malocclusion and uneven teeth. A distinctive design detail is the ligatures - fastening the arch to the plates on the tooth.

Ligature braces

The entire system consists of the following elements:

Braces are plates with clasps placed on each individual tooth. Dental glue is used to fix them. They are characterized by a special design. Their shape, size and location are thought out specifically according to the drawn up therapy plan and are marked in a special way so as not to be confused during the installation process.
An arc is a wire that is pulled through the grooves in each of the plates. Since it strives to straighten, the teeth are pulled to the required place. To ease the patient's sensations, arches can be made from elastic materials. As treatment progresses, they are tightened or replaced with others each time.
Ligatures are a fastening element presented in the form of miniature wire or elastic rings. Their main task is to connect the two previous structural elements - arcs and plates.

Attention! Lingual braces are invisible design thanks to which it can be used by those who are embarrassed to use conventional braces or who have professional activity associated with constant exposure

Non-ligating braces (self-ligating) is a modern invention that can significantly reduce the duration of malocclusion correction. The design features unique sliding clamps, with the help of which the arch is replaced quickly, with minimal pain and discomfort for the patient.

In a self-ligating system, the archwire is secured without blocking, resulting in the teeth moving with little force. Using the classical system, teeth are able to overcome high strength friction during movement, which is formed due to ligatures. But in a self-ligating design, this process is much more comfortable for the client, since there is no blocking of the arch, because it is only fixed.

Non-ligature braces

Materials from which braces are made

Metal

This material is the most durable and widespread. It is characterized by high reliability and low cost. The client can also choose non-ferrous metal. The most common choice is silver.

Advantages:

low price compared to other types;
greater efficiency;
reliability;
the metal structure does not lose color during the entire course of therapy;
shorter course of treatment.

Flaws:

not aesthetically pleasing;
Irritation and ulcers on the gums and lips may occur.

Ceramics

For the manufacture of the structure, special durable glass is used. Most often, ceramics are used by adults, since its color is invisible on the teeth.

Advantages:

attractive appearance;
small size, comfortable to wear;
staples do not stain when eating;
high structural strength, there is no risk of tearing off the teeth.

Ceramic braces

Flaws:

ceramic staples cannot be painted, and ligatures change color over time, so they need to be changed every month;
long duration of treatment;
Use only to fix minor problems.

Sapphire

Non-natural materials are used to make the bracket system. gem, but an artificial sapphire. This is a special type of ceramic, which is also called a single crystal.

spectacular shine and overall transparency;
high strength;
do not stain and do not fall out;
Possibility of ultra-reliable fixation to the teeth.

longer course of treatment;
wearing such designs leads to a serious allergic reaction;
sapphire bracket system cannot cope with serious problems bite

Plastic

This modern analogue sapphire and ceramic designs.

Advantages:

colorless, invisible on the teeth;
not as expensive as sapphire and ceramic;
plastic is safe as it does not cause allergies.

Flaws:

change color when eating;
Plastic is a weak material, so braces can break easily.

Types of ligatures for braces

Elastic

The elastic ligature on braces consists of rubber rings, which must be changed every time the arch is tightened. On average this is once a month. All elastic ligatures can be of different colors. Maximum strength attached by elastic auxiliary elements to other parts of the bracket system, it is lost 2-3 hours after installation. Once the elastics have adapted to a new location, the decrease in their strength occurs more slowly.

Elastic band for braces

Metal

The ligature, made of metal, has the appearance of medical wire. It firmly connects the arch to the teeth. The design is highly rigid. It is not recommended to install it on initial stages bite correction. Such structures are replaced extremely rarely.

Installation of ligature bracket systems

The process of installing a brace system to correct pathologies in the bite is carried out in several stages:

An orthodontist evaluates general state dentition. If the doctor decides that braces can be used to solve the problem, he will refer the patient for orthodontic examination. It involves making a dental impression, performing panoramic images and x-ray of the skull. Thanks to the results obtained, it will be possible to accurately determine the treatment procedure and its timing.
When all the preparations are over, the orthodontist proceeds directly to installing the structure. Correction of the bite began from the period when the first arch was fixed.
Taking into account the selected type of bracket system, the specialist prescribes next appointment for replacing ligatures and arches, and also notifies the patient about proper care of teeth and oral cavity.
If the treatment is successful and the teeth are completely straightened, then the braces can be removed. But this is not the end of treatment. Instead of the previous design, the patient is given retainers. These are transparent plates made of plastic. Thanks to them, the teeth are perfectly fixed in the new position and do not return to their previous state.

Attention! To minimize the risk of disease, it is necessary to perform a complete sanitation of the mouth before installing the structure.

How does addiction work?

getting used to the installed structure lasts no longer than 30 days. This is an average figure, since the process of addiction is individual. There are situations when this period drags on for a longer period.

Attention! If severe pain occurs after installing braces, painkillers are recommended.

Advantages and disadvantages of ligature braces

The following advantages of braces systems can be highlighted:

You can use colored rubber bands, making the correction process fun for children and teenagers.
Due to the elasticity of ligatures, it is possible to reduce discomfort when straightening teeth.
Affordable price.
Efficiency and reliability.

Design disadvantages:

Since the rings are in a state of constant tension, they lose their elasticity. For this reason, the elastic elements must be changed regularly.
The correction process is carried out more slowly than with self-ligating braces, because when the teeth move, the arch overcomes friction.
The arc is fixed motionless, which causes discomfort in the patient.
Rubber bands may become stained by food coloring.
The design is bulky, so it is difficult to care for.

Attention! If the patient has diseases such as periodontal disease, periodontitis, gingivitis, the installation of braces is contraindicated.

What is the difference between ligature and non-ligature braces?

Non-ligature braces (left) and regular braces (right)

Ligature and non-ligature braces have a number of differences:
Visits to a specialist – ligature – monthly, non-ligature – once every 2-3 months.
The friction force indicators when moving teeth are high for ligature structures, while those without ligatures are minimal.
Ligature structures are not installed for periodontal disease and periodontitis, which cannot be said about self-ligating ones.
When installing ligature braces, it is necessary to remove healthy teeth, and non-ligature structures do not need this.
The cost of ligature braces is lower (20-35 thousand rubles) than that of products without ligatures (35-45 thousand rubles.)

Caring for ligature braces

The effectiveness of therapy in most cases depends on the patient’s psychological mood and proper care behind the design, which is as follows:

The use of a special paste that serves to clean the system.
Flossing after every meal.
Regular visits to the dentist for preventive examinations.

Ligature bracket systems are modern approach for the treatment of malocclusion in children and adults. They are highly efficient and lack side effects and not at a high price. In addition, various materials are used for their manufacture, so that each patient can choose the best option.
