Metal orthodontic bracket STEP 2.0 D.B

with vertical slot

STEP 2.0 system is an optimization of the well-known Straight Wire STEP treatment which has been used for more than 10 years. Thanks to the clinical experience of Dr. Arturo Fortini and his partners, the STEP 2.0 system has become even more efficient and versatile, thus making the orthodontic treatment easier than ever. Logical management of friction is always possible with the use of the SLIDE low friction ligatures and/ or alternatively, with the conventional ligatures only in one group of teeth with the benefit of being able to use the biomechanical properties more suitable for the therapeutic stage and the kind of wire you are using. The innovative Bi-dimensional* arch wires and the elastic Tie Back, brand new in the design and material, deliver a controllable traction force extension with a perfect control of torque on the anterior teeth, thus favoring the sliding in the rear portion. Brackets with vertical slot for cuspid and bicuspid, with the same in-out values, allow the use of springs and auxiliaries for greater biomechanical and anchorage control. STEP 2.0 prescription is complemented by a renewed and optimized archwire sequence for each therapeutic stage. ALIGNMENT AND LEVELING Nickel-titanium MEMORIA® super elastic arch wires deliver constant and light forces. The use with SLIDE ligatures is recommended. FULL EXPRESSION OF THE BRACKET TIP VALUE Australian arch wires are ideal for the consolidation of the first stage of treatment, thus giving full expression to the bracket tip values. They are used with conventional ligatures.
