Net Dental Clinic Al Karama
Self-ligating braces hold the wire with a small built-in clip instead of elastic ties. They come in metal or clear ceramic, and our orthodontist will tell you if they suit your teeth.
Self-ligating braces are fixed braces whose brackets have a small built-in clip or door that holds the wire in place. Conventional braces use small elastic or wire ties for this; self-ligating braces do not need them.
With no ties, there are fewer places for plaque to collect, and adjustment visits can be shorter. They come in metal and in clear or tooth-coloured versions; your orthodontist explains which suits you.
| Self-ligating braces | Conventional braces | |
|---|---|---|
| How the wire is held | A built-in clip in each bracket | Elastic or wire ties around each bracket |
| Ties to replace | None | Replaced at each adjustment |
| Cleaning | Fewer parts for plaque to collect around | Ties can trap plaque |
| Coloured ties | Not used | Available |

Both types straighten teeth well, and for most people the overall treatment time and result are similar. The main differences are in comfort, cleaning and how long adjustment visits take. Your orthodontist will recommend the type that suits your teeth and bite.
Free consultation: our orthodontist checks your teeth, bite and jaw.
Records: photos, X-rays and impressions or a scan.
Your plan: options, expected treatment time and cost in writing.
Fitting: the brackets and wire are fitted in one visit.
Adjustments: regular visits, as your orthodontist plans.
Retainers: when the braces come off.
The consultation with our orthodontist is free. You get your full price in writing before you commit, and you can pay in instalments or with Tabby.
We bill 20 insurers directly. Whether your plan covers this depends on your policy: send a photo of your card on WhatsApp and we will check.
You can split the cost into 4 interest-free payments with Tabby.
Your dentist confirms the final cost in writing before any treatment starts.
