Thanks to self ligating braces.
Self ligating braces / brackets is a newly invented brackets that available in market now.
Ok, so what's the difference?
Self ligating braces are braces without ligature. In conventional type, before putting on the brackets and wire, the orthodontist will put in molar bands to hold the wire in place. Some also need to put in separator to create space. But with self ligating braces, those procedures are not going to take place.
The self ligating brackets have a sort of trap door that hold the wire in place. Studies also show it create less friction with the wire.
My personal view:
1. I only feel some sort of pain on the first time the brackets are fixed.
2. The second treatment I was expecting the pain, but I only feel little bit of tightness and pressure. Means I can EAT!!
3. Though the brackets are not that aesthetic as conventional type, with only the front teeth brackets have colour, but I don't think it make a difference. Some of my friends with conventional type of brackets prefer to choose lighter color so only the metal brackets are visible. (almost same as the self-ligating brackets)
4. the manufactures claim that it is a SPEED brackets, but I think I only can say this point stands after my treatment end
5. AND yup, less visit to orthodontist.....
