Tip-Edge PLUS® Aesthetic Brackets
Gentle. Smart. Aesthetic. Offering a straight, beautiful smile in fewer appointments than with regular brackets.
Versatility. Comfort. Proven results.
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. The unique design of Tip-Edge PLUS brackets makes treatment more comfortable for patients and reduces the number of treatment visits necessary
Gentle movement
Teeth move with little anchorage strain, and without headgear or implants. Treatment can move from 0.41mm (.016″) to 0.56mm (.022″) stainless steel archwires in a single step. 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. As a result, you can expect the following when treating with Tip-Edge PLUS Aesthetic Brackets:
Overbites reduced early in treatment, irrespective of canine angulation
Large overjets treatable without headgear
Improved vertical control – archwires are not flexed during retraction or space closure
All changes, both dental and skeletal, are achieved with relative light (1-3 ounce) forces
No play between archwire and slot at the finish
Hands-off finishing powered by super elastic wires through deep tunnels and controlled by full-size, stainless, rectangular archwires
Highest quality results with fewer appointments and archwire changes
