✔ The steel wire ligature has the same function as the plastic ligature, except that more force is applied between the bracket and the tooth.

✔ When the orthodontist wants to straighten a tooth that is rotated or crooked, the orthodontic wire must stay firmly in the slot (groove) of the gem bracket.

✔ Therefore, wire ligature is often preferred in these cases because it allows the orthodontist to keep the orthodontic wire tightly tied to the bracket and connected to the tooth.

✔ High-Quality Steel: The ligature wire from the American brand IOS is made of 304 stainless steel, which offers high resistance to corrosion and rust. This feature ensures the wires remain durable in the oral environment, which is exposed to moisture and various acids.

✔ Importance of High-Quality Material: The high-quality material and precise design of these ligature wires ensure patient comfort and minimize the risk of allergic reactions. This feature is especially important for patients who are sensitive to metal materials.
