What is the explanation of self-ligating bracket?

1. Self-locking bracket means that when orthodontic treatment, the bracket and archwire are combined, which means that the bracket comes with a clip to fix the archwire, and the archwire is tied to the bracket without the traditional steel wire. It is a bracket used in orthodontics, which is more convenient for follow-up and reduces local soft tissue trauma.

2. However, sometimes the fixing force of this kind of self-locking bracket may be smaller than that of the traditional one, so it is necessary to choose a suitable condition to use the self-locking bracket. Now many patients choose it, because its advantages are still obvious, each follow-up visit will be faster, and there is no steel wire ligation, which will cause less trauma to local soft tissues and facilitate cleaning.
