3M Self-Ligating Braces Innovation
Ordinary braces use elastic bands to hold the archwire in your braces. These bands can cause friction, which can slow down treatment time. This is like driving your car with the emergency brake on. These bands can also discolor and attract plaque.
Innovative 3M technology makes these braces "self-ligating" and do not require your orthodontist to use elastic bands. Instead, 3M self-ligating braces use a unique clip to hold the wire in place. This clip is made from temperature-sensitive Nitinol material and is available only from 3M. This special clip is available whether you choose metal or translucent ceramic self-ligating braces from 3M.
