ABSTRACT
Self-ligating brackets have a permanently installed movable component to entrap the archwire which reduces much of the friction created by conventional ligation. Therefore, it allows for rapid tooth movement and shorter overall treatment time. Due to these advantages, interest in self-ligating brackets is increasing. In this report, several practical considerations for using self-ligating brackets are given to appreciate and maximize their benefits. It is thought that self-ligating brackets make shorter and more efficient treatment possible.
