Self-ligating treatment
Treatment 2x faster.
Self-ligating braces are those without the infamous colored rubber bands. The "pieces" (brackets) themselves have a clip that attaches the wire to the piece. In other words, the bracket's clip acts as the rubber band.
It was discovered that the colored rubber bands were a kind of obstacle to tooth movement, meaning they created a certain amount of friction. Self-ligating braces were developed to improve tooth movement. The advantage is that the treatment is twice as fast as conventional braces. Of course, this requires patient cooperation and the dentist masters the technique. Don't think that simply putting on self-ligating braces will solve everything on their own. Care and attention are required.

What Are Self-Ligating Braces and How Do They Work?
Self-ligating braces are a modern version of traditional fixed braces. They use a special bracket design that eliminates the need for rubber bands—those colorful elastics that often cause discomfort during treatment.
At Onne Odontologia, we carefully assess each case to recommend the best type of braces for your needs. With self-ligating braces, you can achieve the smile of your dreams with greater comfort and speed.
What Makes Self-Ligating Braces Different?
The key innovation lies in the bracket design, which uses a built-in “door” mechanism to hold the archwire in place, without elastics.
This significantly reduces friction, improves tooth movement, and provides a cleaner, more discreet appearance.
At Onne Odontologia, we value both functionality and esthetics—with self-ligating braces, you don’t have to compromise on either.

The simplified design makes oral hygiene easier, helping prevent plaque buildup and reducing the risk of cavities and gum issues.
