Basking Ridge, New Jersey, United States – 04-05-2022 (PR Distribution™) – 
Dr. Kenneth Banasiak, an orthodontist in New Jersey, explains how self-ligating braces can be more beneficial than traditional braces and why he offers this innovative treatment.
Basking Ridge, NJ – Patients concerned with crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, or bite issues may assume that traditional metal braces are the only solution for their needs. Thanks to the advancements in orthodontic techniques and technology, self-ligating braces have become another state-of-the-art option for people who are unhappy with the appearance of their smile. New Jersey orthodontist Kenneth Banasiak, DMD offers self-ligating braces to his patients and explains the many advantages of the self-ligating system.
1. No elastic bands or metal ties required. Traditional braces often use elastic bands or metal ties to secure the archwire, while self-ligating braces use brackets with a gate-like mechanism that holds the archwire without the need for elastic or metal ligatures. In addition, patients can choose metal or clear brackets for their self-ligating braces.
2. More comfortable process. Since self-ligating braces are designed to move teeth gently without too much friction, Dr. Banasiak says that many patients may find that self-ligating braces are more comfortable compared to traditional braces.
3. Adjustment appointments take less time. Patients with traditional braces need their elastic bands or metal ties replaced each time their braces are tightened by their orthodontist. Dr. Banasiak explains how tightening appointments for patients with self-ligating braces are typically not as time-consuming. The process is just the matter of opening and shutting the door-like mechanism of the brackets and not individually changing each elastic band or metal tie.
4. Easier to clean. Traditional braces have elastic or metal ligatures that can easily trap food particles. Self-ligating brackets do not use any ligatures, making it less likely for food to get stuck in the braces and easier to clean if there are leftover particles caught between the brackets.
5. Versatile and efficient self-ligating system. “The self-ligating brackets are more advanced than traditional brackets, working faster due to less friction,” explains Dr. Banasiak.
Overall, the New Jersey orthodontist believes there are many advantages to the self-ligating braces that his practice offers. For comfort and efficiency, Dr. Banasiak says he highly recommends patients consider self-ligating braces for orthodontic treatment. He notes that scheduling a consultation for a thorough evaluation is the best way for individuals to find out if they are a good candidate for this advanced treatment.
