Active Self-ligating Brackets

Active Self-Ligating Brackets is a type of orthodontic bracket system that belongs to the category of self-ligating brackets and is distinguished by its use of a spring-loaded or movable clip mechanism to actively secure the archwire without the need for elastic or metal ligatures, thereby reducing friction and enabling more efficient tooth movement.
