Transform Your Smile with Advanced Self Ligating Braces
Traditional braces taken to the next level, easier cleaning and movement, as well as shorter orthodontic appointments.
At Dental Beauty Orthodontics South Croydon, we’re committed to offering the latest orthodontic solutions to help you achieve your perfect smile. Self-ligating braces are an innovative alternative to traditional braces, providing a faster, more comfortable, and discreet way to straighten your teeth.
Self Ligating braces use advanced brackets with built in clips or doors to hold the archwire in place, eliminating the need for elastic or metal ties. This modern design allows for smoother tooth movement, reduced friction, and fewer adjustments during your treatment.

Our Process for Fitting Self-Ligating Braces
Initial Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation and assessment by your orthodontist. This includes taking X-rays, photographs, and impressions to create a detailed treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Fitting Your Braces
The self-ligating braces are carefully applied to your teeth using advanced bonding techniques. Your orthodontist attaches brackets to each tooth and connects them with a wire, which gently guides your teeth into their new positions.
Regular Progress Checks
While self-ligating braces require fewer adjustments, you’ll still attend regular appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary tweaks.
Follow Up
Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, the braces are removed, revealing your beautifully straight smile. To maintain your results, you'll be fitted with a retainer to keep your teeth in place.

What Our Orthodontic Patients Say
Self-Ligating Brace FAQs
Self-ligating braces are orthodontic braces that use special clips or doors to hold the archwire in place instead of traditional elastic or metal ties. This design reduces friction, allowing for smoother tooth movement and greater comfort.
The main difference is the way the archwire is secured. Self-ligating braces use built-in clips, which make adjustments quicker and often require fewer visits to the orthodontist. They also provide a more comfortable experience compared to traditional braces.
Treatment times vary depending on individual needs, but self-ligating braces can often shorten treatment durations compared to traditional braces. Your orthodontist will provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
The brackets themselves are resistant to staining, but good oral hygiene and avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee or red wine will help keep them looking clear and clean.
Self-ligating braces are designed to be more comfortable than traditional braces, with less friction and pressure on the teeth. While some initial discomfort may occur as your teeth begin to shift, it typically subsides within a few days.
