Self-Ligating Braces such as the 3M Clarity SL are advanced clear braces designed to straighten teeth more comfortably and efficiently. Unlike traditional braces, they do not use elastic bands or o-rings, which reduces friction and allows for smoother tooth movement. Their clear design makes them less noticeable, providing a discreet option for orthodontic treatment.

The benefits of 3M Clarity SL braces include easier cleaning due to the open design, fewer dental visits because adjustments are needed less often, and a more comfortable experience with less pressure on the teeth. This technology helps achieve faster and effective teeth alignment while maintaining a natural appearance throughout the treatment.

3M Clarity SL Self-Ligating Braces are applied by first cleaning and preparing the teeth surface. The dentist at our affiliated clinic bonds the clear brackets directly onto each tooth using dental adhesive. Once all brackets are securely placed, a shape-memory arch wire is carefully threaded through the brackets’ built-in clips, which hold the wire without elastic bands.

The braces gently apply continuous pressure to move the teeth into alignment over time. The self-ligating system allows for easier cleaning and fewer adjustments compared to traditional braces.
