- Long Ligature:
Long ligatures are Stainless Steel wire which is used for the Lace back technique, Undertie or overtie (to keep teeth together).
Due to their nature of rigidity, it is preferred metal to tie the teeth together. In the above video, all the common techniques are explained.
Watch the above video for full instruction about the Long Ligature ties.
Excellent presentation
love these videos! thank you for making the time to do them. I am a gp starting to do easy orthocases. kind of social six cases yet
Good luck!!
I love background score of ur videos..
Thank you :)
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Would be great if you showed a tutorial for doing tight lacing (under the archwire). The lacing shown is loose, so i prefer tight lacing (multiple twists between 2 brackets, going over the next bracket and then place multiple twists until you reach the next bracket and so on).
Yes definitely Amirali. We'll try to make the video for "continuous tie" soon. Till then enjoy the rest of the videos.
thank you so much Dr.
kindly, is it nessesory to ligate the tooth ( with a torque spring) with ligature wire or it is enough with ligature elastic ? 🌹🌹
Hi, you can use elastic ligatures, but ideally metal ligature is much better.
As the torquing spring is going to use the wire as anchorage, wire can have a bit of play and the spring might not be able to express the force completely.
Hence, full ligation of the the wire with metal ligature is better.
I hope you find this helpful.

It all depends on the case and what you dentist is doing, this can be used in the early and late stages of treatment.

Supertb .Ligature tie no TAD needed right?

What is the difference of overtie and undertie even their functions are same
An overtie is when a long ligature tie is placed over the archwire while an undertie is when the ligature tie is placed under the archwire to prevent a tooth from moving or create space. Overties are commonly preferred for compromised oral hygiene, but cannot be tightened as well as underties and needs to be removed every time the archwire is changed. Underties can keep spaces closed securely and are preferred when changing wires, as they don't need to be replaced each time, but oral hygiene should be monitored. You just need to check if the undertied wire is loose, and if so, tighten it.
The choice of technique depends on the specific treatment goals and the individual needs of each patient. We hope this helps.
😍😍😍
Thank you for the support :)
how long you need to use ligatures before completely remove the braces?
Long ligatures are mostly used to maintain space closure, preventing any space from opening and increasing anchorage. Therefore, you can keep them in place for as long as necessary, ensuring that oral hygiene is well maintained.
@@cephtacticsdental thanks
Now my dentist do on my teeth is Undertie 😢
Hi @sampadapattnaik5305 , We hope your treatment is going well.
Yes this is a very common technique used by orthodontists, but shouldn't cause any pain.
What should i do if my metal ligature feel loose
Hi Rashid!
If you are a patient, it's important to inform your orthodontist so they can provide appropriate advice. If you are a practitioner, it is necessary to either tighten or replace the metal ligature to prevent potential gaps from forming, especially if there is any active mechanism like elastics or powerchain connected to it. I hope this helps.
