Carriere .022'' Self Ligating Brackets
Description

Passive Self-Ligating Brackets takes clinical performance and patient outcomes to a new level
The Carriere self-ligating bracket is one of the fastest growing self-ligating brackets on the market today. It is specifically designed to meet your goal of low friction and low force by providing a freedom of fit in the bracket and archwire interface: in the body of the bracket, the mesial and distal edges of the slot have been carefully rounded for free sliding; the bracket archwire interface has a passive four-wall design that, with low super-elastic archwires, provides a free but controlled, synergistic action; the passive orthodontic treatment philiosophy can be activated when there is interest in using more force by using larger rectangular archwires.
Features
* A simple locking mechanism in the bracket face can be easily opened with an explorer and
closed with the touch of a finger, offering quick, easy archwire changes
* Practical tie-wings for chain elastics or conventional ligation (if necessary)
* A familiar rhomboid shape allows orthodontists to keep their preferred treatment techniques
* Micro-etched surface for increased bond strength
* Lowest profile and less bulk in comparison to Damon 2 & 3TM and In-Ovation-R®
* Colour-coded brackets for easier identification
* Nickel free for increased biocompatibility and acceptance.
