3m Unitek Gemini Metal Twin Brackets

• Rounded-Shape Corners for improved patient comfort. The corners and ligating mechanism feature the same buccal curvature as the bracket body.
• Nitinol Ligating Mechanism features elasticity and high resistance to fatigue during treatment
• Easy Ligation with enough space under the tie-wing area for conventional or chain elastics if needed.
• Integral Hook with simple versatile design.
• 80 Gauge Mesh Base for better adhesive coverage to increase bonding retention.
• Torque in Base for precison, control and easy bracket positioning.
• Compound Curvature Base allowing for accurate bracket fit.
• Passive bracket closing mechanism does not touch round and rectangular archwire for reduced friction.
• Door design with incisal / occlusal opening system promotes efficient ligation because ligating mechanism does not open spontaneously during treatment.
• Nitinol ligating mechanism has high resistance to fatigue during the opening and closing of ligating mechanism to maintain product integrity during treatment.
• Because the bracket design allows for ligation, bracket can be active or passive depending on treatment needs.
• Rhomboid shape provides reference for efficient bracket positioning.

• 20 x Brackets Per Kit.

• Prepare the Tooth Surface: Ensure the tooth surface is clean and dry. It may involve cleaning and drying the tooth, and sometimes applying a bonding agent.
• Bonding: Apply orthodontic adhesive to the back of the bracket, making sure to cover the entire mesh bonding pad.
• Placement: Carefully position the bracket on the tooth, aligning it according to the treatment plan. The rhomboid shape and recessed centered scribe line help with precise placement.
• Curing: Use a curing light to set the adhesive and secure the bracket in place. This light-activated process ensures a strong bond.
• Wire Placement: Once the brackets are in place, an orthodontic wire is threaded through the slots in the brackets. This wire applies pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position.
• Adjustments: Over the course of treatment, the orthodontist may make adjustments to the wires or replace them to achieve the intended tooth movements.
• Accessory Attachment: If the brackets have integral hooks, accessories like elastics or rubber bands may be attached to aid in specific tooth movements.
