Tying twin brackets.
To achieve orthodontic tooth movement, archwires must be tied to the bracket slots. Metal or elastic ligatures are used for this purpose, and the way they are tied affects tooth movement. Because of their design, twin brackets can be tied in a large variety of ways. Knowing how to use all the bracket's resources makes for better and faster treatment results.
