Abstract
The self-ligating system was introduced aiming the reduction of chair time. Once this system does not need any ligation form, several advantages were observed, such as the reduction on superficial friction in couple bracket/ orthodontic wire, and the reduction on the force level that is necessary to establish the orthodontic tooth movement. The growing demands of aesthetic patients induced the self-ligating system to be made of polycarbonate material, resulting in unique aesthetic advantages when compared with the metallic form of this system. Aim: The objective of this paper was to proceed with a literature review about aesthetic self-ligating brackets
