Description
Our ligatures fit perfectly with the preformed arch, this allows both brackets and arches to fulfill their function.
They are made of materials with great elastic retention and easy handling. They also have a very stable color that is resistant to fading. The ligatures are available in two materials, metal, and plastic.
Both elastic and metallic ligatures are used with traditional brackets (the self-ligating ones don’t need them). In traditional orthodontics, the ligatures are an essential part of the treatment. The ligatures must adapt perfectly to the arch to permit that both, arches, and brackets perform perfectly. We introduce you to the best quality at the best price ligatures.
There are two main types of ligatures: elastic and metallics. You use them depending on your needs. The elastic ligatures are used when the patient needs a ligature that is more flexible and not so rigid. In this case, they exert the forces more passively when they are actively used. You have short and long ligatures.
The metallic ligatures are more rigid and resistant, but they exert constant and higher forces. Therefore, it is important to know the type of ligation needed in each treatment.
If there is a need of a greater and constant force for the arche and the brackets, metal ligation is the best option. And if you only need passive force that exert more force depending on the use that the patient gives, elastic ligatures are the ones.
Of course, the ligatures in orthodontics usually change throughout the entire treatment, that means that a certain point you will use elastic ligatures and at another one, metallic.
