Advantages of supports PLUS SL.
- Less chair time
- Shorter treatment time
- Reduced friction from ligatures
- Extremely low nickel content
- Improved oral health
Advantages of PLUS SL over conventional self - ligating brackets
- Lighter forces ( 1-4 oz ) .¹ , 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 Conventional straight – wire brackets exert 6-16 oz.3,7
- Dynamic archwire slot / differential tooth movement – the unique slot design enable it to increase in size from .022 ” to .028 ” during initial phase permitting tipping and facilitating retraction , reducing friction . Once space is closed , slot size gradually reduces back to .022 ” , enabling torque expression during finishing phase.¹ . 2 , 4,7,8
- Deep tunnel , which allows synchronous torquing and tipping.2.
- Vertical slot option when needed.²
- Reduced treatment time – opening and alignment can be performed simultaneously . 5,7,8
Testimonials
Here's what orthodontists have to say about the Tip-Edge PLUS® bracket system.
“For more than 10 years, I have chosen Tip-Edge PLUS to meet the most stringent requirements. Because of its small, single-wing design the bracket system has plenty of inter-bracket width, allowing engagement of crowded teeth early on and easily in treatment.”
Dr. Bradley Nirenblatt
“Where do I start? The Tip-Edge technique is amazingly easy, I am getting better Class II correction mechanics and the lighter forces have reduced poor patient compliance. I do not have nearly the trouble with patients wearing their elastics as compared to the heavy force systems. The new PLUS bracket slot offers me great versatility where as the Edgewise slot would never have allowed me the unique extraction combinations available to me as a Tip-Edge practitioner.”
Dr. Ralph Hardin
“The idea behind PLUS is light years ahead of any other straight wire system. It is so much easier to get results. The PLUS system provides good rotational control and may even speed up treatment. This is orthodontics’ best kept secret.”
Dr. Richard Parkhouse
“Tip-Edge is a single-wing bracket that does not loose its rotational control. The base is every bit as wide as a twin bracket. Just look at the base! During space closures, friction is not a concern with PLUS because you lean the teeth together rather than sliding them down the wire. The Tip-Edge technique allows you to utilize the maximum prescription built into the bracket for finishing, i.e., 100% bracket expression. No other system can achieve that.”
Dr. Steven Steer
“Bite opening and overjets can be easily corrected with the Tip-Edge technique; your patients’ parents will think you are a genius!”
Dr. B. Douglas Amberman
“I love this bracket system. The Tip-Edge technique moves segments of the teeth together; other techniques move each tooth.”
Dr. Phillip Spector
“I have used many different brackets and techniques, from Straight Wire to active and passive self-ligation. Now I only use Tip-Edge PLUS. After more than 15,000 cases, I have no doubt it is a superior bracket. Finishing a case is easier — in a nutshell, its versatility and efficiency, increased capacity for malocclusion correction in less time and with lighter forces.”
