Self Ligating Braces in Stillwater, OK

At Kierl Orthodontics - Stillwater in Stillwater, OK, we offer a full range of options for correcting dental alignment problems. If you require this sort of care, you might wish to consider self-ligating braces. Unlike traditional braces, self-ligating appliances do not rely on elastic bands. Instead, the arch wire is held in place by the bracket itself and kept under the proper tension by a spring-loaded lock. Most patients feel that this alternative is more comfortable than the old-fashioned devices.

There are a number of possible benefits to be derived from choosing this option. We've found that the method tends to:

• Involve less friction
• Require fewer appointments
• Reduce the discomfort of adjustments

If you require braces for your child or yourself, don't hesitate to seek our assistance at Kierl Orthodontics - Stillwater. Contact us today to speak with a member of our staff about scheduling an appointment to discuss self-ligating braces. An orthodontist at our practice in Stillwater will be happy to meet with you and help you determine the best course of treatment.
