OpalM bracket system

OpalM bracket system
Posted: December 15, 2006
Opal Orthodontics, a division of Ultradent Products, Inc., today announced the launch of its new OpalM bracket system. OpalM is a unique self-ligating, nickel-free stainless bracket designed for patient comfort and efficient clinical performance.

OpalM brackets have a smooth, rounded surface which open and close easily to access the archwire. The unique cap design ensures consistent opening and closing of the bracket throughout the treatment. In addition to its reduced size, low profile, and rounded edges, OpalM brackets are injection molded using a state-of-the-art nickel-free stainless steel alloy for patients with sensitivity to nickel.

A highly polished passive slot ensures that teeth move quickly and efficiently using ultra-light force archwires at the beginning of treatment. Highly accurate slot tolerances ensure full expression of torque and rotation control at the end of the treatment.

The OpalM bracket is designed with a simple marking and identification system on the face and base of the bracket. Horizontal and vertical cross hairs are printed on the face to assist with visual positioning of the slot over the center of the tooth during bonding. The base of each OpalM bracket is imprinted with Palmer Notation to identify the correct tooth just prior to application of bonding adhesive. Mechanical undercuts on the base of the bracket provide reliable bond retention and, after treatment is completed, the debonding procedure is identical to other metal brackets.

With unsurpassed patient comfort, clinical performance and bonding accuracy, the OpalM bracket system offers the ideal solution for beautiful orthodontic outcomes.
