Self-ligating brackets are gaining interest among orthodontists and manufacturers. While current data suggest advantages over traditional brackets, more clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Background:

  • Increasing interest in self-ligating brackets by manufacturers and orthodontists.
  • Self-ligating brackets offer potential advantages over conventional ligation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the history and evolution of self-ligating bracket systems.
  • To describe the three most commonly used self-ligating bracket systems.
  • To review the existing scientific literature on self-ligating brackets.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of self-ligating bracket systems.
  • Description of prevalent self-ligating bracket designs.
  • Analysis of current data on clinical efficacy and advantages.

Main Results:
