Cloud 9 Ortho

Cloud9Ortho’s Patient Spotlight, which is being released with version 4.1 of Cloud9Ortho, will help you to create more starts by making tracking, follow-up and reporting on new patients automatic. Once a new patient makes the initial call, Patient Spotlight will automatically create follow-ups for your treatment coordinator until they are in treatment. This could include a phone call, letter or email which can be sent directly out of Cloud9Ortho. Offices will be able to report on how each treatment coordinator performs and make sure follow-up is being completed, which will lead to increased starts for your practice. For more information, call (800) 394-6050 or email info@cloud9ortho.com.



Ortho Classic

Ortho Classic’s H4 passive self-ligating bracket is a low-profile, one-piece, metal injection molded part that is efficient and predictable for the clinician, as well as comfortable and hygienic for the patient. With +/- tolerance of .0001; the H4 bracket provides reliable and predictable results while minimal mesial/distal width on the door and slot adds an increased inter-bracket span to fully express the wire. The precise wire slot depth provides improved accuracy with three- to four-point rotational and torque control. Torque is built into the base of each H4 bracket and anatomically contoured (mesial-distal/occlusal-gingival) for accurate tooth placement. A large under tie-wing area supports early elastics, ligatures, and power chain. The one-piece Treadlok pad has an open flowing channel design that allows air bubbles to escape, promoting maximum bond strength and multi-directional sheering protection. For more information, call (866) 752-0065 or email info@orthoclassic.com.

Opal Orthodontics

Esprit is a Class II corrector with a CNC-machined body that is smooth and durable, and a new innovative, patented clip that is a breeze to install and remove but stays in place without disengaging during treatment. Esprit also features a mesial hook that prevents rolling into the occlusion. The hook is smooth for patient comfort and can also be removed with ease—no cutting required. Esprit’s enclosed stainless-steel spring prevents painful pinching and unhygienic trapping of food. This unique enclosed spring also resists deformation and maintains consistent force throughout the patient’s wear time. Esprit’s dual-telescoping feature increases range of motion, and its distal body opening prevents bottoming out and allows liquid flow to keep it clean. The entire corrector is laser welded, allowing it to withstand even the toughest treatment from any patient—100 percent guaranteed. For more information, call (888) 863-5883 or visit opalorthodontics.com.




Practice Genius

The Patient Rewards Hub is an engagement marketing suite featuring rewards, kids clubs, social media and contest engagement programs all rolled into one simple and easy-to-use cloud application. For more information, call (800) 560-1469 or email bashwell@practicegenius.com.




Specialty Appliances

The new M4 MiniScope, developed by Specialty Appliances, has quickly built a reputation for durability and patient comfort. With 40 degrees of lateral movement and a maximum incisal opening of 65mm, the M4 MiniScope has almost eliminated restricted movement for the Herbst patient. This has not only improved patient comfort, but has drastically reduced breakage. The M4™ MiniScope appliance allows bonding upper 5-5 and lower 4-4 allowing for greater flexibility in modern Herbst treatment. For more information, call (800) 522-4636 or email customer.service@specialtyapplicances.com.




Reliance Orthodontic Products

Reliance Orthodontics has added a new product to its lingual retention line, Extend LTR. This system is bonded only to the cuspids and allows for easy patient flossing and simple dental hygiene compared to a wire that is bonded to each tooth. Extend is fabricated from a small .027 nickel-free TMA wire.

Not only ideal for holding cuspid width, Extend also allows for a slight amount of flex without permanently deforming. The unique flattened and angulated cuspid bonding pads ensure long-term retention. For slight adaptation bends, a bird beak or 3 prong plier can be used. Extend is economically priced and is available in 18, 20, 22, 24, and 26mm. sizes. For more information, call (800) 323-4348 or visit RelianceOrthodontics.com.
