El Paso Ceramic Braces
Empower Your New Smile
At Gross Orthodontics, we want you to have the best smile you can as fast as possible, and self-ligating metal braces are one of the most efficient ways of doing so.
Empower self-ligating braces utilize a self-ligating mechanism that typically lessens your treatment time and requires fewer visits to our office.
What Are Self-Ligating Braces?
Empower self-ligating metal braces are a type of braces that use a special clip instead of traditional elastic bands to hold the archwire in place.
This innovative design reduces friction and allows the wire to move more freely, for quicker and more comfortable tooth movement. The self-ligating system eliminates the need for elastic or metal ties, making your braces experience smoother and less noticeable.
Better Braces, Better Smiles
Choosing Empower self-ligating braces give you numerous benefits, including:
Faster Treatment
The reduced friction allows for quicker tooth movement, potentially shortening your overall treatment time.
Fewer Adjustments
Self-ligating clips reduce the need for frequent adjustments, meaning fewer visits to the orthodontist, and more time to smile.
Improved Comfort
Less pressure on your teeth means a more comfortable experience throughout your treatment.
Enhanced Hygiene
Without elastics, it’s easier to keep your teeth and braces clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and tooth decay.
Your Smooth Path to a Straighter Smile
Empower self-ligating braces use a technology that straightens teeth efficiently without the use of elastic bands.
Your braces will still consist of brackets and wires, but each bracket will have a clip on the front that the archwire can slide through freely, making it able to apply pressure on its own, in a much more gentle way than rubber bands.
This mechanism reduces friction caused by rubber bands, and the brackets can be much smaller since there is much less pressure on them.
The Empower System specifically works to avoid the need for other orthodontic appliances. Self-ligating braces are proven to help in several areas, so there’s less need for expanders, headgear, or extractions.
Self-ligating braces work to correct both tooth alignment and jaw alignment issues, as well as spacing issues within the mouth. All of these benefits come within one system, which means that your treatment plan will be much shorter and more comprehensive with the use of just one orthodontic appliance.
The Self-Ligating Difference
The Empower System's brackets come in traditional metal material and, now, clear, nearly invisible brackets.
This treatment looks just like traditional braces, with the archwire connecting the brackets, except it’s much less noticeable, especially with no need for rubber bands and much smaller brackets.
Self-ligating braces are proven to be more comfortable than traditional braces since the archwire works to move teeth with gentle force and no friction.
The results of using self-ligating braces also look slightly different than with traditional braces. With the Empower System, we aim to broaden the smile and straighten your teeth into a more upright position all simultaneously.
Perfect for Every Smile
Empower self-ligating metal braces are ideal for teens and adults looking for an efficient, comfortable, and less noticeable orthodontic treatment. They’re particularly beneficial for complex orthodontic issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, and bite misalignments.
If you want faster treatment with fewer adjustments and value comfort and ease of oral hygiene, Empower braces may be the perfect choice for you.
Whether it's your first time seeking orthodontic care or you're addressing long-standing dental issues, Empower self-ligating braces offer a modern solution to help you achieve a confident smile.
