D-Tech Ceraclip SLB With Wire Set

• Pure ceramic body and clip, highly translucent
• Mesh design base for better bonding
• Rounded and polished edges for patient comfort
• Highly accurate slot
• Hook on 3, 4, 5

Ceraclip self ligating ceramic brackets have smooth rounded contours which provide superior patient, comfort with a chamfered slot which allows for greater flexibility and ease of wire engagement. It has a smooth and easy to use sliding cap.  

Hygienic: Radial contours of the T1 follow the natural contours of the teeth, creating natural sluice ways for materia alba to wash away from the braces.

Comfort: Smooth, rounded contours provide superior patient comfort. There are no uncomfortable tie wings to stick out and cause irritation. These features allow lips and soft tissue to adapt comfortably with T1 contours. The TM Tenbrook T1 is the lowest profile self-ligating bracket on the market.

Chamfered slot (mesio-distally): Chamfered slot dimension allow for greater flexibility and ease of archwire engagement. High performance wires are able to deflect in a more radial
manner, enhancing the archwire’s effectiveness in moving teeth efficiently and decreasing permanent sets or kinks in the wire.

TM Rotating cap: Unique and easy to use. The Tenbrook T1 proprietary roating cap allows for easier archwire engagements, by “carrying the wire into the slot”upon archwire engagements. No more “crushing” or scraping the surface of archwires by attempting to close a door, slide or clip. Unique axial design minimizes materia alba and calculus build up around the mechanism. The aids in deflecting material away, not allowing frictional binding of
the cap.
Finishing: Unique slot dimensions allow for wires to “couple” more effectively, aiding in rotational and torque control. The finishing wire matches the T1 slot dimensions (within manufacturing tolerances) almost perfectly, allowing you, the orthodontist, to realize your “true straight wire” prescription. Slot dimensions allow for four-wall contact, making T1 an active bracket for optimum torque control during finishing.

1. Inspect the Brackets:

   • Before beginning treatment, inspect each bracket to ensure they are intact and free from defects.

2. Prepare the Patient:

   • Ensure the patient’s teeth are clean and dry before bracket placement.

Bracket Placement:

3. Isolate the Treatment Area:

   • Use cheek retractors and absorbent materials to keep the area dry and visible.

4. Apply Bonding Agent:

   • Apply an appropriate bonding agent to the surface of the teeth where the brackets will be placed. Ensure the teeth are etched and primed according to manufacturer instructions.

5. Position the Brackets:

   • Place each D-Tech self-ligating ceramic bracket precisely on the designated tooth. Orient the bracket so that the chamfered slot (mesio-distal orientation) is correctly aligned for optimal wire engagement.

6. Light Cure:

   • Once the brackets are positioned, use a curing light to set the bonding agent. Follow the recommended curing time provided by the bonding material manufacturer.

Wire Engagement:

7. Select the Archwire:

   • Choose the appropriate archwire size and material based on the treatment plan.

8. Open the Self-Ligating Mechanism:

   • Use an appropriate instrument to open the self-ligating mechanism (rotating cap). This allows easy insertion of the archwire into the chamfered slot of each bracket.

9. Insert the Archwire:

   • Carefully insert the archwire into the chamfered slot of each bracket. The unique design of D-Tech brackets should allow the wire to slide smoothly into place without excessive force.

10. Close the Self-Ligating Mechanism:

    • Gently close the self-ligating mechanism (rotating cap) to secure the archwire in place. Ensure the cap rotates smoothly without causing any damage to the archwire surface.

Post-Placement Care:

11. Check and Adjust:

    • After placing all brackets and securing the archwire, check for proper alignment and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal positioning and functionality.

12. Instruct the Patient:

    • Provide the patient with instructions on proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing techniques specific to braces. Advise on potential discomfort management and follow-up appointments.

Maintenance:

13. Monitor Progress:

    • Regularly monitor the progress of treatment and make adjustments as needed during subsequent appointments.

14. Address Issues Promptly:

    • Address any issues such as broken brackets or discomfort promptly to ensure treatment continues smoothly.
