Introduction to orthodontic ligature ties:
Orthodontic Ligature TiesOrthodontic ligature ties are small elastic or wire bands used in
dental braces to secure the archwire to the brackets.
They come in various colors and materials, such as elastomeric (rubber) or metal, and play
a crucial role in the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment. They help apply consistent pressure
to move teeth into the desired position. Available in various colors and materials, they ensure
effective and comfortable orthodontic treatment.
Elastomeric ties are commonly used for their comfort and aesthetic appeal, while metal ties
offer more precise control over tooth movement.
Regular replacement during orthodontic adjustments ensures optimal force application and
treatment progress.
