Self-ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces Clear (tooth-colored) Self-ligating braces
Dr. Mehan has been committed to having our office use the most current technologies available to provide contemporary orthodontic care for our patients. For the past three years, we have been moving teeth exclusively using the new high tech self-ligating braces. Self-ligation is not just a new type of brace but a philosophy of tooth movement, using very light forces provided by these low friction braces and high tech shape memory wires. Tooth movement is now affected with light continuous force. In the past, traditional orthodontic care used heavy intermittent force. Research has shown that this gentle, low friction force appears to be more biologically sensible. The result is a greater emphasis on not removing teeth to attain our goal of healthy teeth and a beautiful smile that is matched with the patient's facial form. Self-ligating braces and the continuous low force system they provide can deliver faster treatment with fewer appointments, greater comfort, and routine high quality results. Dr. Mehan has spent several years evaluating the self-ligating systems that are available. He believes in the light force, low friction philosophy and has selected the system which he feels offers the most advantages for our patients. Should you come to our office and braces are indicated, we will show you the self-ligating Innovation-R brace offered by GAC International. Less noticeable are the clear (tooth-colored) braces. At this stage of the new technology, it is our appliance of choice. For more information please contact our office to schedule a complimentary consultation visit (603)623-8003
