Traditional braces use small elastic bands to hold the wire in place, which some kids find uncomfortable and which need to be replaced at every adjustment visit. Self-ligating braces use a different bracket design that skips the elastics altogether.
At Purple Tooth Dental, we offer self-ligating braces for kids and teens who want an alternative to traditional elastic-tie brackets, often with slightly shorter adjustment visits. We’ll help you decide whether self-ligating brackets or traditional braces make more sense for your child’s treatment plan.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski, DMD completed additional orthodontics training during his pediatric dental residency and has since treated hundreds of children with braces, and he and our team also speak Spanish for families throughout Mount Holly.
Contact our office today to schedule a self-ligating braces consultation for your child.
