Ovation S Brackets
Dentsply Sirona Orthodontics' new Ovation S clear brackets have a specially formulated ceramic material that combines clarity and strength. The material reveals the natural tooth color, making the brackets nearly invisible. The high-tech finish minimizes reflection while providing a barrier against stains.

Manufactured using ceramic injection molding technology, the unique molecular structure and triple-chamfered slot of Ovation S brackets reduce friction by 41 percent compared with traditional ceramics. This allows for the smooth, steady movement of archwires without binding or crimping to maximize patient comfort.

The brackets are available in Base and Euro prescriptions in slot sizes .022 and .018 and with hooks on 3, 4 and 5. For more information, call 800-645-5530.

Symetri Clear
Ormco's Symetri Clear is an aesthetic bracket system incorporating design features that apply expert clinical advice and analysis, end-user feedback and the company's technological advancements and achievements.

With a low profile and ample torque and tie-wing strength, Symetri Clear addresses and minimizes the challenges that may come with leveraging a ceramic system—bracket breakage, wire notching and difficulties while debonding. The bracket is designed to debond in one piece without fracturing, requiring minimal forces.

Initially offered in the McLaughlin, Bennett, Trevisi prescription, Symetri Clear was designed with upwards of seven years of research. The twin bracket is designed with round surfaces and edges, creating enhanced patient comfort and greater radii on sliding surfaces.
