Non-Ligating (Self-Ligating) Brackets

How does a flexible, non-ligating slot improve treatment?

A non-ligating bracket holds the archwire without elastomeric or wire ties. Flexibrace’s flexible archwire slot flexes to moderate the force delivered to each tooth, keeping forces light and continuous. This lowers friction, lets clinicians progress to rectangular wires earlier, and speeds archwire changes — reducing chair-side time at every visit.

Non-ligating brackets do away with elastomeric and wire ties. Innobrace’s flagship Flexibrace uses a flexible archwire slot that flexes to moderate the force delivered to each tooth — keeping forces light and continuous while letting clinicians progress to rectangular archwires earlier.

Self-ligating designs across the Epsilon and Polaris lines reduce friction and chair-side time, with faster archwire insertion and removal at every visit.

Frequently asked questions

What is a non-ligating bracket?

A non-ligating (self-ligating) bracket holds the archwire without elastomeric or wire ties. With Flexibrace, the archwire slot itself flexes to retain the wire and dampen excessive force.

Do non-ligating brackets need special pliers?

No. Flexibrace requires no special pliers for archwire removal — a simple rocking movement seats and releases the wire, significantly reducing chair-side time.

How do self-ligating brackets reduce treatment time?

Lower friction lets clinicians move to working archwires sooner, so space closure and inter-arch mechanics can start earlier without compromising patient comfort.
