Clear Lingual Direct Bonding Self-Ligating Bracket
Why a transparent lingual bracket?
No dark shades from brackets visible through teeth
Truly esthetic – also on lower teeth
”The Örtendahl lingual system”
Self-ligating
Direct bonding with fixed placement-guide guarantees correct position on tooth
Active in final stage with larger arch wires
Optional ceramic tubes on premolars
Great patient comfort from protective polymer closing door
Bracket placing instructions
1. Put the placement-guide against the incisal edge
2. Remove the guide
3. Open door for wire insertion
The placement-jig can easily be removed by hand or by a cutting instrument after bonding – see illustration. Bonds to most common adhesives. However, for certain bondingmaterials a plastic conditioner is recommended.
Phantom Pearl Chain
Extra thin elastic chain for the lingual side in size long, short and continuous.
The Perfect Combination of Aesthetic and Clinical Performance
BLONDE RAINBOW™
Composite twin coloured bracket
Put some colours into your patients smile with coloured blonde. Most young patients prefer coloured ligatures. Why not go all the way and offer them coloured brackets like the Blonde Rainbow Edition, a composite bracket in pink, blue, red and pearl violet.
Blonde Rainbow
You don´t need an assortment of coloured ligatures, only one transparent type will do.
Goes particularly well with Imagination™, toothcoloured arch wires.
Rhomboid shape for easy bracketplacement
Puts fashion into orthodontics, great patient motivator.
Glass-reinforced composite polymer bracket
Blonde offers both the strength and the good looks that willgive you and your patient great satisfaction. The Blonde bracket is available in Standard Edgewise and in a complete and true ”Straight-Arch” formula with:
Ins and outs
Torque in base
Rhomboid shape for easy bracketplacement
Rotation and anti-rotation offsets
Hooks available on cuspids/bicuspids
Mechanical/chemical lock bonding base
Each bracket is identified, according to the FDI-system, with engraved numbers in the bracketbase.
The perfect combination of Aesthetic and clinical performance
Image is a fiber-glass composite polymer bracket, that offers all the mechanical advantages of metal brackets and the esthetics of ceramics, without any of their limitations.
Good looks
Image stain-resistant material retains an Aesthetic appearance throughout treatment. Upper and lower arches can confidentially be bonded, since enamel wear is virtually eliminated when in occlusion.
Bonding
Use your favorite bonding material, the mechanical lock base provides for easy and safe bonding, without the need for additional conditioner.
Marking
A color coding system and placement jigs makes identification and alignment on the tooth real easy.

VITRINE™
Ceramic Brackets
Mechanical performance
One-body manufacturing injection process solves the problem of brittleness and breakage and guarantees the precise slot.
Undercut mesh in base enables optimal bonding strength and easy debonding.
Physical characteristics
High breakage resistance and torque strength are achieved from the dense polycrystalline structure.
Good biocompatibility, colour stability and no discolouration.
What patients will find …
Aesthetics
A more transparent and invisible appearance.
Easy identification
Colour-mark on the gingival distal tie-wings identify the four quadrants.
FDI notations in the base for accurate placement on the right tooth.
Accurate placement
Anatomically contour-compound base for fast and accurate fit.
Available in Roth.022/.018. MBT.022
BALANCE™
Stainless steel 17-4 molded construction for exceptional strength and durability.
Passive, smooth clip design, opens and closes easier.
Small size and lower profile. Smooth, rounded corners for patients’ maximum comfort.
Vertical and horizontal auxiliary slots can be used for traction and provide greater versatility for novel treatment applications.
Laser welding mesh base for strong bonding, laser mark for easy identification.
Advanced passive self-ligation technology with light force orthodontic system, can shorten the course of clinic treatment efficiently.
Clinically proven passive self-ligation technology for fast, low-friction tooth movement.
OYSTER C™
Translucent and stain-resistant, Oyster C brackets are an excellent fully-esthetic choice for you and your patients.
Innovative, smooth ceramic bracket surfaces and edges are designed for patient comfort so your patients can live confidently.
Oyster C self-ligating brackets are passive, but can be activated with the proprietary oval under tie-wing ligation design.
Reliable door mechanism designed to resist unplanned opening and closing.
SmartBond gives you the opportunity to bond brackets and buccal tubes in a wet field.
It is important that the tooth surface is kept wet during the bonding procedure. The water will start the polymerization and initiate the curing process. No other chemicals are necessary.
A thermoactivated BioForce .018x.025 as an initial archwire can be ligated after 3-5 min.
Leave the excess adhesive on the enamel after bonding and simply spray with water. The adhesive will polymerize instantly and turn into a white powder that will be brushed off by the patient, and you save time.
After 14 months of treatment, there is no discoloration when bonding with SmartBond.
Same debonding procedure as with other adhesives.
SmartBond will not cause any enamel damage.
Indirect Bonding
SmartBond is the perfect adhesive for indirect technique.
Bracket tray section bonded with SmartBond.
OTHER APPLICATIONS
Good for bonding of tooth jewelery.
Excellent for bonding of eruption appliances for impacted canines.
Bite-Bumpers work in open and deep bite cases by allowing the anteriors to ride up and out of occlusion. The Bite-Bumpers eliminate bond failures of brackets and are especially valuable with ceramic or self-ligating brackets.
The unique fixed ”placement-jig” guarantees the correct height on the lingual of the tooth and makes sure the two Bite-Bumpers are 100 % parallel.
The Bite-Bumpers are made of a composite polymer that is more comfortable, aesthetic and will increase biocompatibility in nickel sensitive patients.
Bite-Bumpers are bonded in the same manner as metal or ceramic brackets. The Bite-Bumpers have a slotted mechanical bonding base.
The placement-jig can easily be removed by hand or by a cutting instrument after bonding – see illustration.
The Freddy hook has a smooth low profile and ellipse shape.
It has the same chararistics as the standard Freddy button and matches perfect together with Invisalign and other aligners as well as hook for class II mechanics in lingual.
• A complete aesthetic look with half tooth colored archwire.
• PTFE coating adds a minimal thickness (.0008 to .001 inch) to the archwire and
is applied only to the labial surface.
• No friction between wire and bracket slot – only raw wire in contact with bracket.
• Longer lasting aesthetics as the labial side is not in contact with bracket and
”scratches” the coating.
• Coating does not change fit relationship between wire and bracket thus wire
protocol remains same. Movements such as torque and tipping are fully expressed
according to the wire size – more control.
