Congruent Bracket Design
In a small coffee shop just west of Munich,a German engineer and an Austrian orthodontist pondered how to position a bracket more accurately and efficiently. They tossed a few coins on the table to pay the bill and were struck with an idea. Each time they centered a small coin on top of a larger one, they did it perfectly, the first time, every time.

Introducing the Adenta Crown System,a new method that makes it easy to align and position bracket
accurately, reducing the time orthodontic patients

Congruent-designed, the Crown System is the most practical bracket ever developed.Low profile of maximum patient comfort. One-piece construction. Manufactured in Germany with high precision for durability and strength.

Imagine how positioning the Crown System bracket will save you time and money,even on those difficult cuspids. Suddenly,small change has earned a lot more respect.

The Crown System
Congruent Bracket Design
 

Correct bracket placement is critical to achieving the desired treatment results. Now there’s a new, easier way to reduce the margin of error in setting brackets.

The Crown Bracket is a congruous design, engineered to conform to the shape of a tooth. Generally, brackets are placed according to the invisible middle line of the tooth's root. Instead, with the new Crown System, each tooth's crown is utilized to determine exact bracket position, eliminating guesswork and allowing
the visible surface of the tooth to be used easily
and quickly for accurate alignment and positioning

The mesial and distal secants from every tooth on each patient were measured. At right is a typical, representative example of the data in bar graph format. This particular graph shows the distribution of measured values from the upper central mesial secant. The average value is 85 degrees, which translates into 5 degrees of angulation.

The edge configuration of the Crown Bracket base plate has mesial and distal edges formed to run parallel to the mesial and distal secants of the tooth's crown. The incisal edge of the bracket runs parallel to the occlusal plane and on the incisors, parallel to the occlusal edge. Therefore, all four sides of the Crown Bracket’s base can be used to position the bracket as it conforms to the anatomy of the tooth.

The Crown Bracket increases accuracy in aligning and positioning brackets, virtually eliminating misalignments, and reduces the amount of time a patient is in the chair.
Our new Crown Bracket features superior one-piece construction. Its low profile is aesthetically pleasing and provides maximum patient comfort.
