Self-ligating metal braces
Metal braces are the most reliable and most affordable orthodontic system. A self-ligating design instead of elastics means less friction, more comfortable wear and fewer adjustments. For those who want effective treatment at a reasonable price with no compromise on the result.
About the treatment
Self-ligating metal braces are an orthodontic classic. Metal brackets with a sliding clip instead of elastics move teeth steadily and predictably with minimal friction. For patients who want a reliable result at an affordable price and aren’t too concerned about how the braces look, this is the best choice.
The self-ligating design lets the archwire slide freely, unlike braces with elastics, where friction is higher. This makes the system more comfortable to wear and slightly reduces the number of adjustments needed.
Benefits of self-ligating metal braces
The same clinical result for considerably less than ceramic braces or Damon.
Metal is the strongest material for brackets, with less risk of a bracket coming off.
A clip instead of elastics. Less friction, gentler tooth movement.
Adults, teenagers, children: metal braces work for everyone.
How the treatment works
Photos, periapical X-rays, and a plan for the timeline and the extent of tooth movement.
Cleaning and cavity treatment come first.
We bond the brackets to the teeth in 60–90 minutes. Mild discomfort for 2–4 days afterward.
A heat-activated nickel-titanium wire puts minimal pressure on the teeth at the start.
We switch to stiffer archwires and monitor your progress.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, this is the most visible orthodontic system. But the clinical result is identical to the more expensive options.
With a self-ligating system, every 8–10 weeks. That's less often than with traditional braces with elastics.
For the first 3–5 days after each adjustment, there is some discomfort and increased tooth sensitivity. Ibuprofen 200 mg helps. After that, you get used to them.
In theory, yes, but in practice it's best not to change systems halfway through treatment. It's better to choose the option that suits you from the start.
