Self-ligating braces are placed much like conventional braces, with the exception of ligature: no elastic or rubber bands or metal ties are present because they are not needed.
Instead, special clips or brackets are used to help the arch wire move your teeth into place.
The brackets can be made of metal or ceramic which is transparent that gives the best pleasant look.
