Modern Self-Ligating Braces for Precise, Efficient Treatment
Braces remain one of the most effective ways to create a healthy, beautiful smile. At Arlington Dental Studio, we use modern active self-ligating metal braces, an advanced system designed to move teeth efficiently while providing excellent control throughout treatment.
Unlike traditional braces that use small elastic bands to hold the wire in place, self-ligating braces feature a built-in clip that secures the archwire. This design reduces friction between the wire and bracket and eliminates the need for colored elastic ties at most appointments.
Whether you’re a child, teenager, or adult, self-ligating braces provide a reliable solution for correcting everything from mild crowding to complex bite problems.
Benefits of Active Self-Ligating Braces

Is Self-Ligating Braces Treatment Right for Me?
Our orthodontist will perform a comprehensive examination and discuss the treatment option that best fits your smile goals.
