23Aesthetic Brackets Clear CeramicCLEAR Ceramic BracketDiscover… brilliance!Monocrystalline sapphire ceramic brackets offers you a truly transparent material.Nearly invisible against any tooth shade and stays crystal clear without staining.Why we choose Monocrystalline sapphireMost of the ceramic brackets on the market are made out ofeither polycrystalline or monocrystalline sapphire.The primary difference between these two materials is theiroptical clarity. Monocrystalline alumina ceramic brackets havea more translucent (clearer) appearance whereas polycrystallinebrackets are more whitish (toothcolored).This form of alumina has been selected because of itssuperior physical strength and favorable optical andaesthetic properties. Our ceramics are non-porous,resistant to staining and so do not absorb odors.Perfect MaterialMade from crystal clear andnon-porous MonocrystallinesapphireUnique Bonding BaseZirconia sphere base for easyde-bonding.High resistanceHigh resistance to staining andto absorbing odorsSuperior patient comfortUltra smooth & contouredshapesSlot designHeat polished for superiorsliding mechanicsLow profileSmall and aesthetically pleasingto your patients and anatomicalbracket base for easybracket placementMaximun Tie-Wing strengthEasy and reliable ligationThe Science behind bond strengthMicrographs show clearly our unique Double Fusion Method.The base of the bracket is coated with Zirconia powder,which produces Spheroid particles; each particle has amass of tiny dendrites. These properties allow for a secureretention during the length of treatment and provide predictablede-bonding at the end of treatment.Correct material produces big advantagesMonocrystalline Sapphire alumina has a modulus of rupturegreater than 35,000 psi (241.3 MPa). This strength is essentialto producing a ceramic bracket without breakage issues.Standard ceramic brackets are rather bulky as they have toovercome the physical property limitations of other types ofmaterial, so they tend to be somewhat uncomfortable to thepatient. Monocrystalline Sapphires strength enables us tooffer a small and comfortable bracket for the patient. It offersour orthodontists the mechanical strengths needed forpredictable treatment.
