Until now, all preadjusted brackets were only “adjusted” for final tooth angulations. This requires increased force levels during early treatment, causing unnecessary loss of anchorage. Tip-Edge PLUS brackets have a patented design that allows treatment to be programmed from start to finish. Teeth move with little anchorage strain, and without headgear or implants. Treatment can move from .016" to .022" stainless steel archwires in a single step.
The unique design of Tip-Edge PLUS brackets makes treatment more comfortable for patients and reduces the number of treatment visits necessary.
The addition of a horizontal tunnel permits mesiodistal uprighting and torquing from the power of a small, round, super-elastic auxiliary wire eliminates the need for individual uprighting springs and torquing auxiliaries.
Tip-Edge PLUS brackets can reduce your inventory since Side-Winder springs will only be required for midline adjustments and as a braking mechanism. That means fewer products on the shelf because three or four preformed uprighting wires (.012" or .014") are usually all that is required to achieve final tips and torques. Since there is no need to remove and replace uprighting springs when modifying the main archwires, your chair time is reduced too.
Since individual uprighting springs have been eliminated, potential food traps have been reduced and patient brushing simplified. Because the brackets have a sleek, streamlined look, your patients will experience greater comfort and a more pleasing smile. What's more, lip irritation is minimized and removal or damage to springs from noncompliant patients is completely eliminated.
