In-Ovation C - Esthetics without Compromise

The In-Ovation C self-ligating bracket is made from ceramic material that compares to the strength and performance of metal.  A highly esthetic self-ligating bracket made from a special ceramic material with a rhodium processed clip for enhanced esthetics. The natural color of In-Ovation C makes the bracket a perfect fit for patients concerned about esthetics, while delivering functionality comparable to metal brackets.   THE POWER OF INTERACTIVE™ CONTROL FROM START TO FINISH In-Ovation C provides you with the ability to start and effectively finish your treatment in one, simple system. Using the technique of your choice, In-Ovation C enables you to maintain the precise degree of control that you need for each phase of your patient’s treatment. In-Ovation C’s revolutionary Interactive™ technology means you can choose the degree of engagement between the bracket and wire. In-Ovation C can be passive for leveling and aligning, expressive where control is realized and free-sliding is maintained, or active for controlled, optimal finishing. The choice is yours – a benefit not found in “passive only” brackets. INTERACTIVE CONTROL Passive Phase – Small, round wires slide freely, initiating the tooth movement process as the archwire gently levels the teeth and coaxes them into alignment. Expressive Phase – Square or rectangular wires are gently seated into the base of the slot without contacting the clip. Programming is expressed, rotations are corrected and space closures are completed. Active Phase – Rectangular archwires extend beyond the slot to fully engage the clip, providing the active control necessary for functional finishing, uprighting of the roots and adjusting the torque.   Practice Advantages In-Ovation C provides a great way to optimize your practice and expand treatment options. Studies consistently show that self-ligating brackets significantly lower frictional forces; offer faster, easier archwire changes; increase appointment intervals; and shorten patient treatment time. In-Ovation C is easy for doctors and staff to use. Designed for reliable performance, the bracket’s 100% mechanical lock base ensures reliable bonding, debonding and the ability to rebond. A specially designed interactive, Coballoy spring clip provides excellent    Patient Advantages Superb esthetics provide the confidence your patients will love Less chairtime during visits Longer intervals between appointments Excellent results Improved oral hygiene   The Art of Orthodontic Excellence Transluscent Ceramic Construction In-Ovation C brackets are manufactured from a high-tech ceramic that combines excellent translucency with strength and performance similar to that of steel. Reliable Mechanical Bonding In-Ovation C employs a proprietary process to form strong, undercut bonding nubs on the bottom of the bracket base. These provide excellent anchoring points for the adhesive, resulting in a bond that is 100% mechanical and debonds easily after treatment. Straight Wire Technology A true straight wire appliance is one in which all the brackets have been designed to guide teeth into their desired positions with a preformed wire. In-Ovation is a true straight wire appliance that features: Compound Contour Base Torque in the Base Programmed In-Out Control Level Slot Alignment True Twin Design Occlusal and gingival twin tie wings offer an optimal mesial, distal span for achieving superior rotation control. The elimination of the elastomeric ligatures increases your inter-bracket distance. Spring Clip The self-ligating clip extends fully through a vertical channel in the bracket body, enhancing the structural integrity of the clip. A unique rhodium treatment process provides a low-sheen surface for reduced visibility and enhanced aesthetics.   Easy Opening and Closing The clip opens easily when pressure is applied occlusally to the gingival sphere using the Engage-C.  This is the primary method for opening and closing the clip is the gingival sphere. If unable to access the gingival sphere you can also utilize the Opin notch on the facial surface of the clip applying gentle pressure occulsally with amini scaler. The clip can be closed with aninstrument or simple finger pressure  on the incisal curve.   Triple Chamfered Slot Walls Slot walls are beveled outward, facilitating wire engagement and reducing the chance of the archwire binding or crimping. Disto–Gingival Dimple A color-code on the disto-gingival tie wing provides immediate identification of the tooth for which the bracket is intended. A matching colored removable site gauge is also in the slot for position orientation. Smooth Swept Tie Wings Smooth, swept tie wings help to reduce occlusal interference while increasing patient comfort. Adequate undercuts allow easy anchoring for elastic chains or the fastening of color ties at the patient’s request.

Patient Advantages Today more than ever, patients are doing their part to better understand the options available to them. Savvy practices have come to recognize this as an opportunity, enabling you to offer the benefits of self-ligation as an adjunct to your talent, technique and reputation. In providing a self-ligating option, you’ll be able to offer your patients less chair time, fewer appointments and a cleaner, more esthetic appearance. In doing so, you’ll be able to create a perceived (and potentially significant) point of differentiation between your practice and the other competing practices in the area.   In-Ovation R Dedication to Detail True Twin Design – Occlusal and gingival twin tie-wings offer an optimal mesial, distal span for achieving superior rotation control. The elimination of the elastomeric ligatures increase your inter-bracket distance. Spring Clip – The self-ligating clip extends fully through the vertical channel in the bracket body, enhancing the structural integrity of the clip. Base Design – The exclusive patented Palmer Notation laser etched into the mesh facilitates bracket management with a ready reference of the quadrant, tooth and prescription.An 80 gauge single mesh, compound contoured base provides a precise anatomical fit.  Full Slot Slip Coverage – The In-Ovation R clip provides full coverage across the entire slot for superior rotational control. This allows the clip to interact with the wire both on the mesial and distal, as needed, without the need for auxiliaries. Straight Wire Technology In-Ovation is a completely adjusted true straight wire appliance system that positions teeth at all four dimensions: in/out, angulations, torque, and overcorrection. With this completely adjusted four dimensional appliance system you will need no offset bends in the archwires to obtain an optimal finish in most cases (if the brackets are optimally positioned on teeth). In order to be considered a completely four-dimensional appliance, the bracket must contain: Compound contour base Torque in base Proper in/out and anti-rotation Level slot alignment at the conclusion of appliance therapy Easy Open Clip – The clip opens easily when pressure is applied occlusally to the v-notched clip at the gingival side of the bracket, using the engage R or similar instrument. The clip can be closed with an instrument or simple finger pressure on the incisal curve. Triple Chamfered Slot Walls – Slot walls are beveled outward, facilitating wire engagement and reducing the chance of the archwire binding or crimping. Vertical Scribe Line – A scribe line on the bracket face aids positioning by providing a convenient reference for orienting the center line of the bracket with the facial axis of the clinical crown (FACC). Smooth Swept Tie-Wings –Help to reduce occlusal interference while increasing patient comfort. Adequate undercuts allow easy anchoring for elastic chains or the fastening of color ties at the patient’s request.

GAC Stop Wound Open Coil Spring

Sentalloy Stop Wound Open Coil Springs are packaged individually or in three 7” lengths to a tube. Each length is quadruple wound every 4mm. After determining the length of coil needed, simply cut the wire at the center of the tight spiral as indicated below: The quadruple wind can be cut by having one person stretch the wind while another person makes the cut; or by using a separating plier to stretch the wind and a hard wire cutter to make the cut. Sentalloy Stop Wound Open Coils with a standard lumen of .035” are available in forces of 50, 100, 150 and 200 grams. (.045” compatible coils are available in 150 grams of force only.)

GAC Open Coil Spring

Open, or compression, coils are 15mm in length when passive and may be compressed to 3mm. Between these points, the coil will exert 50 (extra light), 100 (light), 150 (medium), 200 (heavy), or 250 (extra heavy) , and 300 (XX Heavy) grams of force until 14mm, and then the force falls to 0 as it becomes passive again. No distortion will occur during movement. These low forces limit patient discomfort and ensure good circulation in the periodontal pocket during movement. Typically, you will see 4mm of space opened in three months (this varies depending on the age and health of the patient). To engage the open coils, mark the archwire where the mesial and distal tooth destinations are located. Crimp on the mesial stop and ligate the archwire up to the point where the spring is to be placed. Slide the coil over the archwire and crimp on the distal stops. Ligate the balance of the wire. Since the Sentalloy coil needs about 1/10 as much wire as steel, good hygiene is much easier, but do advise the patient to rinse and brush around the coil. No other adjustment is needed.

GAC Molar Distallization Coils

Maxillary molars can be moved distally in 4-7 months without patient cooperation using our 100 gram Stop Wound Open Coil Springs. A modified Nance or A.C.C.O. may be used as an anchorage device initially. The coils are placed between the 1st bicuspid and the 1st molar – by passing the 2nd bicuspid. The coils are then activated against the molar using an archwire lock or our special crimpable stop. Cut the Stop Wound Open Coils so that they extend to the end of the buccal tube. Ligate the archwire to the 1st bicuspid, set the stop, then slide the coil onto the archwire. Next, feed the archwire into the tube, ensuring that the archwire is fully inserted with 2mm of wire extending beyond the tube. Uprighting springs may be used from the 1st bicuspid to the distal of the laterals to control any anterior movement. Using this system, you will see 1mm per month in space gained, with any anchorage loss well within clinically acceptable limits.
