Orthodontic ligating ties

Denrotary Orthodontic ligating ties are small elastic rings used in fixed appliances to secure the arch wire to the bracket, typically made of latex or synthetic materials. Their primary function is to provide stable retention, ensuring that the arch wire exerts continuous and precise orthodontic forces on the teeth.

1. The function of the ligature tie Fixing the arch wire:

Prevent the arch wire from slipping out of the bracket and ensure stable transmission of orthodontic force.

Assist tooth movement: Control the rotation or inclination of teeth through different ligation methods.

Aesthetic and Comfort: Compared to metal ligation wires, ligation ties are smoother, reducing irritation to the oral mucosa.

2. Types of ligating ties Conventional ligating tie:

used for ordinary fixed brackets.

Power Chain: Multiple ligating rings connected in a chain shape, used to close gaps or move teeth as a whole.

3. Replacement frequency of ligating tie:

Routine ligation loop: generally replaced every 4-6 weeks (adjusted based on follow-up visits).

Chain-like ligating rings: They are typically replaced every 4 weeks to prevent elasticity decay from affecting the correction outcome.

4. Denroatry Color selection for the ligature tie Transparent/mist white:

relatively concealed, but prone to staining.

Colorful ligating rings (blue, pink, purple, etc.): personalized choice, suitable for teenagers or patients who like decoration.

Silver/Metallic: Close to the color of the arch wire, relatively understated.

Tips: Dark colors (such as dark blue and purple) are more resistant to staining than light colors, and transparent ligating rings require careful attention to diet.

Orthodontic ligature tie are an important component of fixed orthodontic treatment, affecting the stability and comfort of the treatment.

Proper selection and care of ligature ties can improve the efficiency of orthodontic treatment and reduce oral discomfort.
