Self-ligating orthodontic brackets are ceramic devices bonded to teeth to guide archwires and gradually reposition teeth during orthodontic treatment. Their built-in clip securely holds the wire in place, reducing friction and potentially shortening treatment time compared to traditional brackets.
These single-use devices are designed for one patient and discarded after treatment. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re typically classified based on their direct contact with teeth and intended use, with compliance requirements covering material safety, bonding methods, and clinical performance.
