3M Clarity Self-Ligating Braces are clear ceramic braces with a built-in sliding mechanism that holds the archwire without elastic ties. This reduces friction, making treatment potentially faster and more comfortable. Made from stain-resistant translucent material, they blend naturally with teeth for a discreet look. These braces offer improved comfort, easier maintenance, and effective tooth movement with fewer adjustments.

3M Clarity Self-Ligating Braces use clear ceramic brackets with a built-in sliding door to hold the archwire securely without elastic ties. During treatment, the dentist at our affiliated clinic bonds the ceramic brackets to each tooth after cleaning the surfaces. A thin, lightweight archwire is then inserted into the brackets and held in place by the sliding mechanism. This design reduces friction, allowing teeth to move more freely and comfortably. Regular check-ups are scheduled to adjust the archwire as needed until the desired alignment is achieved.

1. Consultation and examination will be conducted.
2. Preliminary treatments such as cleaning or fillings will be completed.
3. Teeth will be thoroughly cleaned.
4. Clear ceramic brackets will be placed over teeth surfaces.
5. The archwire will be inserted and secured.

Q4: Do Self-Ligating Braces need rubber?
