LUCENT™ ROTH .018 LR3 -11°T +5°A 2°RLucent™ composite brackets feature a nickel-free silver alloy-lined archwire slot that makes them a safe alternative for nickel sensitive patients. The metal liner is precisely integrated into the bracket body, creating a pleasantly aesthetic device that delivers the sliding mechanics of a metal slot. The special composite formulation from which the device is manufactured produces a bracket that displays a high tensile strength. The result is a strong polyurethane bracket with superior sliding mechanics that are equal to or greater than stainless steel brackets. Lucent™ brackets feature a distinctively designed mushroom grooved base for increased surface contact, allowing for excellent adhesion. The brackets are designed with a porous coating that provides millions of additional undercuts that firmly grip the adhesive. As a result, additional primer agents are not required to bond Lucent™ brackets to the tooth's enamel. Lucent™ brackets feature superior retention and easy debonding characteristics.
A plastic device intended to be bonded to a tooth, to hold an orthodontic wire and/or other appliance (e.g., rubber bands) used to apply pressure to the tooth in order to alter the position of the tooth. This is a single-patient device intended to be used for the duration of the treatment (single-use) before being discarded.
