| Popis: | The present report explores the use of self-ligating brackets in treating Class I malocclusion with mild crowding and a constricted maxillary arch. Self-ligating brackets, designed as an alternative to expansion appliances, prove effective in expanding the maxillary arch by allowing larger archwires. The benefits include reduced friction, potentially faster and more comfortable tooth movement, and easier dental hygiene. While commonly associated with non extraction orthodontics, self-ligating brackets are adaptable to cases requiring tooth extraction for severe crowding. This assessment guides a personalised treatment plan, which may involve extraction, with careful placement of self-ligating brackets on remaining teeth. Hereby, the authors present a case report of 15-year-old female patient showchasing a unique technique for dealing with such cases, in which the advantages of self-ligating brackets are utilised to alleviate crowding with much simpler movement while also enhancing confidence. |
