What are frictionless braces?
Self Ligating Braces (frictionless or rapid braces) are special kind of braces which have auto lock system to hold the wire in place. Auto lock system imparts less friction between the wire and the braces than conventional braces resulting in rapid tooth movement.
Which type of braces are more effective?
Similar to traditional braces, but much more time-effective, self-ligating braces seem to be more and more popular. Treatment is expected to be finished around 6 months earlier than in the case of traditional braces and the patient is required to pay fewer visits to the orthodontist.
What type of braces are least noticeable?
Lingual braces are the least visible of any type of orthodontic treatment because they’re placed on the back of your teeth.
Are self ligating braces faster?
It’s possible that self-ligating braces may speed up some aspects of treatment. A 2019 study compared the rate of alignment in 30 people using either traditional or self-ligating braces. It found that alignment of the upper teeth was significantly faster in the initial 4 months of treatment with self-ligating braces.
What’s the difference between fast braces and regular braces?
