SmartClip SL3 Self-Ligating Bracket System is a cutting-edge orthodontic solution, featuring a unique self-ligating clip mechanism with no moving doors, ensuring unparalleled efficiency. 3M Unitek has integrated advanced materials engineering and refined mechanical design to enhance the effectiveness of the self-ligating clip mechanism. This results in reduced force application, offering patients a more comfortable orthodontic experience. With no moving latches or doors, SmartClip SL3 brackets are true self-ligating brackets. The twin design allows for selective engagement, providing orthodontists with increased control during treatment. Traditional tie wings facilitate the easy application of auxiliaries for space closure when needed. The open slot concept prioritizes patient hygiene by enabling easy cleaning and minimizing problems associated with plaque build-up common in other ligation mechanisms. The SmartClip SL3 System combines innovation, control, and hygiene for an optimal orthodontic solution in pursuit of patient satisfaction.
