Abstract

Aim: This review article examines evidence regarding treatment duration, influence on arch form and the speed of tying and untying self ligating brackets compared with conventional bracket, methods of ligation and its advantage and disadvantage.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical differences in relation to the use of self ligating bracket in orthodontics.

Background: The self ligating bracket uses a slide mechanism to hold the arch wire, thus reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth. However, there are many similarities to typical braces, such as the fitting on such appliances. Regular cleaning is also essential for effective treatment and desirable results.

Reason: The purpose of this review were to identify and review the orthodontic literature with regard to the efficiency, effectiveness, and stability of treatment with self ligating brackets compared with conventional brackets.
