Hello Maam
Gaps between upper teeth is a very common problem and it's really great that you are seeking treatment at an appropriate age. Yes, it's true that we can use self-ligating brackets for your treatment. Self-ligating brackets are really good. Less problematic to the patient, more comfortable, easier maintenance, lesser treatment time, fewer doctor visits. Only disadvantage is it's a little expensive than regular brackets. I myself would recommend self-ligating to my patients if they can afford. You can happily go ahead with the treatment.
I don't know the cost of it in Bhopal but most doctors charge between 60,000 to 90,000 depending upon the case and the material of the bracket used.
I would seriously recommend you going ahead with the treatment but if you find the cost expensive you can also go ahead with regular brackets.
I would also like to suggest that you ask your doctor about invisalign and clear aligners. May be you will opt for them.
Good luck in your treatment.Any queries you can feel free to contact me.

Dr. Arshita Singh (Orthodontist), Dentaire@BH, Dental Clinic, Road no 4, Banjara hills, Hyderabad.
