Interactive SL
D.B. Metal Bracket Self - Ligating
Interactive control for optimal results.
Why Interactive?
The specific conformation of the Interactive clip and bracket allows the modulation of the most appropriate level of friction between the bracket and wire, based on the needs of the various phases of treatment.
*Available in Roth and MBT techniques*
The Three Phases
Passive phase
First stage round arch wires result unbound by the clip: the low friction will facilitate alignment and leveling phase.
Interactive phase
Rectangular arch wires which are used for space closure, rotation, and torque control, elastically deform the clip, obtaining the biomechanical control necessary for these phases of treatment.
Active phase
Rectangular arch wires for finishing and detailing completely fill the slot, creating active contact with the clip: it allows the exploitation of elastic properties to obtain the minimal movements for finishing treatment.
Easy Open/Close
No special instruments are required
Opening
Insert the tip of a probe or utility instrument into the hole in the clip and move in the occlusal direction.
Closing
Slide the clip with a slight pressure in the gingival direction using an instrument tip or just the finger.
Features
Maximum Comfort and Versatility
Thanks to their design and reduced dimensions, InteractiveSL self-ligating brackets offer exceptionally comfortable treatment for the patient, without losing control.
The interactive clip ensures efficient clinical management of treatment due to the progressive biomechanical control, which allows low friction to be exploited in the initial phases and meanwhile achieving the perfect finishing with the final arch wires.
Material & Design
The bracket body is made of biomedical steel and laser-welded to the base.
A colored distal-gingival identification dot indicates the quadrant for each bracket; the color codes are the same as all the brackets in the Leone range.
Ball hooks
Perfectly spherical and with low profile for maximum comfort.
Spring clip
Made of highly elastic alloy, it favors simple and safe open/close movements. The sliding portion of the clip is laser welded between the base and the body preventing any detachment.
Beveled Slot
Beveled on mesial-distal edge: promotes sliding of arch wires even in case of severe misalignments, avoiding notching and binding.
