Services
PowerBar Class II Corrector
PowerBar is a fixed functional orthodontic appliance that corrects Class II malocclusions through efficient segmental tooth movement. Its universal design works on either side of the maxillary arch, reducing treatment time while maintaining precise control over tooth positioning. The direct bond system ensures stable anchorage for optimal orthodontic outcomes.
Empower Clear Brackets
Empower Clear Brackets offer enhanced aesthetics with improved mechanical performance for orthodontic treatments. These ceramic brackets combine visual appeal with durable construction, featuring optimized slot geometry for precise wire control and efficient tooth movement during orthodontic alignment.
BracePaste Adhesive
BracePaste is a light-curable adhesive system that combines primer and sealant functions for bracket bonding. This medium-viscosity formulation minimizes bracket drift while enabling easy flash cleanup, providing strong adhesion to both metal and ceramic brackets for reliable orthodontic attachments.
Self-Ligating Brackets
Our self-ligating bracket systems reduce friction and treatment time through innovative clip mechanisms that eliminate traditional ligatures. These brackets feature precise slot dimensions and durable construction for efficient orthodontic mechanics and improved patient comfort during treatment.
3D Printed Orthodontics
We utilize advanced 3D printing technologies for precision orthodontic appliance fabrication. This digital manufacturing approach enables complex geometries and customized solutions while maintaining strict quality control standards for consistent clinical performance in orthodontic treatments.
