Ceramic or sapphire brackets coupled with small, elastic ligatures offer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment option. These ligatures, available in a wide spectrum of colors, secure the archwire to the brackets, applying the necessary force to reposition teeth. Patients can personalize their appearance by selecting colors that match their personality, a special occasion, or even their favorite sports team.
This aesthetic approach to teeth straightening has increased in popularity due to the demand for more discreet orthodontic solutions. The ability to customize the ligature colors enhances patient compliance, especially among adolescents, by making the treatment experience more engaging. This customization option represents an evolution from traditional metal braces, addressing the social concerns often associated with orthodontic appliances.
