Self-ligating braces are a clinically proven approach to align your teeth, create a beautiful smile, and enhance facial aesthetics. These systems take into account not only your teeth positioning, but the shape of your face, your profile, and how your face will change as you age. Because of this unique treatment philosophy, patients often notice a change not only in their teeth, but in their face, as well. A beautiful smile can build confidence and self esteem at any age, while improving your overall oral health. Dr. Greenberg’s patients have enjoyed:

  • Fuller, wider smiles
  • Straighter, less crowded teeth
  • Enhanced facial balance and aesthetics
  • Smoother cheek contours
  • Less dark triangles around the mouth
  • Improved profiles

Passive self-ligating braces can help you achieve the perfect smile faster and easier with less inconvenience and discomfort. Trust us, these are NOT your parents’ braces! They are also available in clear brackets for those concerned with the aesthetics of braces. The brackets resist stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining agents. They provides the same strength, comfort, and functionality, while giving you an even more pleasing aesthetic look.

Advantages of Self-Ligating braces include:

  • Shorter treatment time
  • Fewer office visits
  • Comfort (no tightening)
  • Durable (made of high-grade stainless steel)
  • No elastic ties
  • Easy to clean
  • Sleek, smooth look
  • Available in clear brackets for less visibility

Self-Ligating braces have very few disadvantages. Generally these braces cost slightly more, but many dental insurance plans typically cover these to the same extent as regular braces. Check with your insurance provider to determine your specific coverage.
