Nearly invisible against any tooth shade.

Moncrystalline sapphire ceramic brackets offer you a truly transparent material.  Nearly invisible against any tooth shade and stays crystal clear without staining.

 

Why we choose Moncrystalline sapphire.

Most of the ceramic brackets on the market are made out of either polycrystalline or monocrystalline sapphire. The primary difference between these two materials is their optical clarity. Monocrystalline alumina ceramic brackets have a more translucent (clearer) appearance where as polycrystalline brackets are more whitish (tooth-colored).

This form of alumina has been selected because of its superior physical strength and favorable optical and aesthetic properties. Our ceramics are non-porous,  resistant to staining and absorbing odors.

 

  • Crystal clear
  • Zirconi sphere base for easy debonding.
  • The perfect fusion of aesthetics and function.
  • Ultra smooth for optimal patient comfort
  • Offers superior sliding mechanics
  • Maximum tie-wing strength.
  • Anatomical bracket base for easy  bracket placement.
  • Resistant to staining.
  • Non-porous.
  • Resistant to absorbing odors.

Correct material produces big advantages.

Monocrystalline Sapphire alumina has a modulus of rupture greater than 35,000 psi (241.3 MPa).  This strength is essential to producing a ceramic bracket without breakage issues.  The ceramic brackets that are currently in use are rather bulky (to overcome the physical property limitations of other types of material), so they tend to be somewhat uncomfortable to the patient.  Monocrystalline Sapphires strength enables us to produce a small and comfortable bracket for the patient, and offers our orthodontists the mechanical strengths needed for predictable treatment.

 

The science behind bond strength.

Micrographs below show clearly our unique Double Fusion Method.  The base of the bracket is coated with Zirconia powder, which produces Spheroid particles, each particle has a mass of tiny dendrites. These properties allow for a secure retention during the length of treatment and provides predictable  debonding at the end of treatment.
