Functionality of Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces function similarly to traditional metal braces, but they are more a discreet option with an often much quicker treatment time. Call Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics today to schedule an appointment with our orthodontists, Dr. Damon W. DeArment or Dr. Daniel J. Lill and learn more about how self-ligating braces in Winchester and Front Royal, Virginia, can give you the smile of your dreams.
Innovative Self-Ligating Braces for Faster, More Comfortable Treatment
Self-ligating braces are a revolutionary orthodontic system designed to be faster and more comfortable than traditional braces. Self-ligating brackets use a special slide mechanism that eliminates the need for metal or elastic ties. Traditional braces use rubber bands or ties to hold the wire onto the bracket. Thanks to advanced technology, we can now eliminate this band and use a unique clip or movable door to fasten the wire in place. This type of bracket results in reduced treatment times and a more discreet appearance due to the absence of ties.
What Are the Benefits of Self-Ligating Braces?
Without elastic ties that attract and collect plaque, self-ligating braces also make dental hygiene easier during orthodontic treatment. Because they do not use ties, self-ligating braces do not need to be “tightened” and require fewer visits to our office for adjustments. For patients who are concerned about the appearance of their smile during orthodontic treatment, clear brackets may be available; these brackets blend in with the natural appearance of your teeth for an even more discreet treatment option.
To learn more about the benefits of self-ligating braces, we invite you to contact our office today and schedule your appointment with our orthodontists. We are eager to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile!

I loved the relaxed atmosphere, I was able to sit right there with my child and the doctor was explaining what he was doing while he was placing her braces on ! I would highly recommend Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics to my family and friends!
Getting braces as an adult could be somewhat difficult, but Shenandoah Valley orthodontics, made it as easy and painless of an experience as possible. Because the trays get switched out so frequently there’s no need for a drastic change. Thus reducing the pain I experienced with metal braces as a teenager. Also being able to use the app made visits the office much less frequent. Everybody is so nice and I’ve had very fast results. Thank you, Shenandoah Valley orthodontics!
This is, unfortunately, my second time going through them and everyone is so sweet and amazing! The first time I went through SVO, I was 11/12 years old, and I had braces for roughly 2.5 years. The process my teeth went through was so impressive! I started Invisalign treatments this time, as my teeth were starting to go back to the original form with lack of previous Invisalign wear (pregnancy did a toll on me), and all I can say is I’m so glad I’m going back through SVO. It’s so worth the hour drive!!
First off you walk in there and it’s so clean in the atmosphere, feels like you just stepped into an spa, you’re immediately greeted. While u wait they had a coffee and hot coco that has tables and it has coloring pages for the kids. All the staff are so sweet. I went in for a free consultation for my daughter to see about braces. They went through all the info and explained everything we needed to know and never tried to pressure us into choosing them to do my daughter’s braces. They even gave my daughter a gift when we went into the again free consultation and it was a very nice quality tumbler with her name put on there. I’m so glad we got referred to them. We made the apt to go back and get her braces 4 weeks later and now we’re on week 1 of invisilian. Thanks again for making my daughter getting braces a comfortable and great experience
So happy we found them for our daughter’s braces! Since the beginning they have made the process super easy! They got an awesome water bottle, personalized. The day came for my daughters to get their braces and it went smooth less. All the staff there is super friendly, and communicative!
