The Dental Studio carries the 3M Clarity SL™ Self-Ligating Appliance Dental Braces System. These smartclips are computer designed and are the latest in technology, so they work fast and look good, and give you the result you want- A Beautiful New Smile. They are made from high-tech ceramic with smooth rounded edges and are translucent.

Ordinary dental braces use "elastic bands" or "ligatures", to secure an archwire into each bracket. Ligatures can become stained, requiring your orthodontist to change them frequently. They also retain food particles, making it more difficult for you to keep your braces clean.

Self-ligating technology removes the need for ligatures. You might be surprised, but ligatures can also slow down your overall treatment progress. Ligatures rub against the archwire and hinder tooth movement. Without bands to take on and off, your dental appointments can be shorter and more comfortable. Your total treatment time may be shortened too.
