Self-Ligating Braces
If you’re looking for a more comfortable and efficient way to straighten your teeth, Self-Ligating Braces may be the ideal solution. At Dr. Motarwar Cares Orthodontic & Implant Dental Clinic, located in Mahalunge, Pune, we offer the latest in self-ligating technology, designed to give you a faster, gentler, and more hygienic orthodontic experience.
What Are Self-Ligating Braces?
Self-ligating braces are an advanced type of orthodontic appliance that uses a built-in clip mechanism to hold the archwire in place, eliminating the need for elastic bands or metal ties. This innovative system allows the teeth to move more freely, reducing friction and pressure compared to traditional braces.
Benefits of Self-Ligating Braces
✅ Faster Treatment Time
Self-ligating braces may shorten overall treatment duration due to reduced friction and more efficient tooth movement.
✅ Fewer Appointments
Without elastics to replace, follow-up visits are quicker and less frequent—ideal for busy professionals and students in Pune.
✅ Improved Comfort
The absence of tight ligatures means less pressure on the teeth, resulting in a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
✅ Easier to Clean
Self-ligating braces attract less plaque and food particles, improving oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
✅ Aesthetic Options Available
We offer ceramic self-ligating braces for those who prefer a more discreet look.
Who Can Benefit from Self-Ligating Braces?
Self-ligating braces are suitable for both teenagers and adults. Whether you have crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbite, underbite, or other malocclusions, this system provides effective, reliable results.
At Dr. Motarwar Cares, we conduct a detailed orthodontic assessment using digital scans, X-rays, and facial analysis to determine if self-ligating braces are the right option for you.
Types of Self-Ligating Braces We Offer

How Do Self-Ligating Braces Work?
In traditional braces, rubber bands (ligatures) are used to hold the archwire in place. In contrast, self-ligating braces feature a sliding mechanism that adjusts with the movement of your teeth. This reduces resistance and allows for smoother, more natural alignment.
The result? Greater efficiency, fewer visits, and less discomfort.
