Passive Self-ligating Brackets

Passive Self-Ligating Brackets is a type of orthodontic bracket system that belongs to the broader category of self-ligating brackets and is distinguished by its use of a sliding mechanical door to secure the archwire without direct elastic or wire ligatures, thereby minimizing friction and allowing passive, low-resistance tooth movement.
