Types of ligation with Braces - Tooth Time Family Dentistry New Braunfels Texas

In orthodontics, ligation method refers to the means by which an archwire is held inside the bracket. It can also be used to move the tooth in a particular direction depending on the type of ligature used and its method of ligation.

In general, metal or elastic ligatures are used for this purpose, and the way they are tied affected the tooth movement. As twin brackets have four tie wings, so wire can be tied to brackets in a variety of ways. Ligation ties play an important role not only in twin brackets (edgewise, MBT, and Roth) but also in different bracket prescriptions such as Begg, tip edge, and lingual orthodontics. In this review article, we will be discussing the various types of ligation techniques, their indication and contraindication as well as their application in orthodontics.

Classification of ligature ties

**** Based on material used:

-Metal ligature
-Elastic ligature
-No ligation system.

****Based on the modes of tying archwire to the slot:

1) Basic ligation ties

a) Straight tie
b) Double tie

2) Isolated tie

3) Rotation tie
a) Circumferential tie
b) Anti-rotation tie

4) Extrusion tie

5) Stabilization tie

6) Double ligation tie

7) Tie together or figure of eight
a)Anterior region
b)Posterior region
c) Lace back tie

8) Kobayashi ties

**** No ligation system

Self-ligating brackets do not use any ligation method and can be divided into two main categories, active and passive, according to their mechanisms of closure. Active self-ligating brackets have a spring clip that stores energy to press against the archwire for rotation and torque control. On the other hand, passive self-ligating brackets usually have a slide that can be closed which does not encroach on the slot lumen, thus exerting no active force on the archwire.

they literally just did the infinity ties for me without asking 💀

[MrMuseta]

You cant request this to your doctor, the infinity tie is only made when necessary, cuz it generates more friction against dental movement

[kimberleymartin]

My ortho only does infinity ties on certain teeth… I think it’s to rotate maybe, but damn the tension on those teeth bruh 💀

[itslilreyrey]

yea but when they take it off to tighten ya braces…. worse pain ever 🥲

[SophiOnYt]

My ortho only does infinity ties for teeth that need to turn vertically

[miumiuthecat]

I just realized this is like a loom band😂😂

[Viabread]

Tell me bentist is coming without telling me that bentist is coming 💀


Edit: i hate to be that person but I have to!

MOMMY IM FAMOUSSS UWUWUWUWUUWUW

[moriaah]

I see this right after I leave the orthodontist 😭 now I gotta wait 2 months

[kc]

I am SO glad the orthodontist I work for now uses self ligating brackets...I HATED doing this type of ties at my previous job.

[TokAboutTekTV]

Only if my orthodontist was nice to me💀

Edit: yes, my orthodontist is quite disrespectful. And they often make mistakes on my teeth.
2nd edit. I got the Infinity ties because I switched ortho.

[emilylong]

I convinced my guy when i had braces to put 2 colors on each bracket. He explained to me they dont do that because they fall off. Welp he did it. I did eat a few bands but most stayed on and it looked soo cool. It made my mouth feel huge though haha

[rihannnahanvelt]

I’m pretty sure they automatically do that to mine-😂

[HunkyDory]

The sound of those scissor things is my favorite sound. Best part of having braces

[gracie]

wish i would’ve know this 2 months ago before i got them off 💀

[Rina-]

My teeth is hurting 🥺 Rn they changed my braces color I got yellown the bottom is like a yellow string worst pain 😩 next appointment is September 30th

[Boudy]

This is orthodontically wrong, you should only use infinity or figure-8 ties on teeth that need rotation.

[Shola_Omishakin]

Unfortuanately i can’t request infinity ties in my next appointment as I’m getting retainers in my next appointment 😂

[kyungsookaisehun]

Imagine the pain of this tie 😭 i just use reguler tie but it's already so pain😭

[VinishaiaVinishaia]

[rockstarzi]
