Self-Ligating Braces (Upgrade Your Smile With 3M Gemini SL)

· Those in Bangkok looking to straighten teeth with less friction.
· Those who want to avoid elastic ties that stain or trap plaque.
· Those who want to reduce the number of dental visits.
· Those who wish to maintain better oral hygiene during treatment.
· Those who wish to get a proven, durable metal braces option.

Self-Ligating Braces like 3M Gemini SL are an advanced orthodontic system that use a special clip mechanism instead of traditional elastic bands to hold the wire in place. This design reduces friction, making tooth movement more efficient and potentially faster. The open bracket structure allows for easier cleaning and better oral hygiene. Without elastics, there’s less plaque buildup and staining, and fewer adjustments may be needed – resulting in more comfortable treatment and shorter chair time. 3M Gemini SL offers a reliable metal bracket system backed by strong clinical research and proven results.

Self-Ligating Braces, 3M Gemini SL in particular, uses a built-in clip mechanism instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. The treatment begins with digital X-rays and study models to plan tooth movement. Once the 3M Gemini SL metal brackets are bonded onto teeth, shape-memory wires are inserted and held securely by the self-ligating clips. These wires apply light, consistent pressure to gradually reposition the teeth. Regular adjustment visits – typically every 6 to 8 weeks – allow orthodontists to monitor progress and change wires as needed. The streamlined bracket design also makes it easier for patients to maintain oral hygiene throughout treatment.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Digital panoramic and cephalometric X-rays will be taken.
3. A study model of the teeth will be created.
