This ring applies a force that moves the teeth very precisely so that they are positioned correctly. Within this typology, two techniques are distinguished: conventional and self-ligating.

The conventional technique can use metal brackets or aesthetic brackets, which can be ceramic, glass or sapphire fiber. The latter are the toughest and the most aesthetic, as they are fully transparent and are perfectly suited to the tone of tooth pain of each patient.

Orthodontics with self - ligating brackets

Within this type of device, the newest technique is the Damon System, which gets a wide, natural smile without extracting teeth or use palatal breakers to have the necessary space.
