Self-ligating brackets: where are we now?
J Orthod.
2003 Sep.
Abstract
The current situation regarding self-ligating brackets is reviewed. Recent developments, clinical advantages, and remaining imperfections are described. The question of active versus passive ligation is scrutinized. The evidence regarding treatment efficiency is reviewed. Suggested clinical tips and changes of treatment mechanics are summarized and illustrated. Self-ligating brackets have reached a stage of design and production control, where the advantages are significantly greater than the remaining imperfections.
