Equation self-ligating brackets combine optimal function with excellent aesthetics at a value price that makes sense. This combination of features equates to a happy doctor, staff, and patient.

Equation self-ligating brackets feature a door that is easy to use, locks in place, and opens in such a way that a clear pathway is left for wire insertion. The door has an inset circle for the tip of the opening instrument. When the instrument is placed into the inset, a light pulling motion will open the door toward the occlusal. When the wire is seated, you may easily close the door with your finger. You will experience the best in sliding mechanics with Equation.

Equation self-ligating brackets are manufactured with a truly innovative material. The bracket material has a surface hardness that wont abrade teeth. It prevents opposing teeth from being damaged making it ideal for full case treatment. The brackets don’t shatter during removal allowing for placement corrections when necessary.

The innovative material creates ultra-low friction when it interacts with an archwire creating very efficient sliding mechanics and faster tooth movement. No other available material produces less friction between a wire and the bracket.

Bonding the Equation bracket is trouble-free. The uniquely grated base provides a secure mechanical lock without the need for additional coating or silane. The base naturally pushes the adhesive away from the bracket sides and away from the gingiva, helping create an easy, fast clean up of excess bonding materials, and providing excellent shear force for easy debonding.

Equation self-ligating brackets give you the flexibility of a passive or active system depending on the wire. The brackets remain passive until a wire with a dimension of .025 is used. When a wire with a .025 dimension is used, it will allow the bracket to express the full torquing capabilities of the system.

A dispersion of medical grade and biocompatible copolymers with a small amount of polycrystalline alumina produces a nearly transparent bracket that stays transparent throughout treatment. The Equation bracket does not stain and wont discolour. With proper hygiene, your patients will experience the ultimate in aesthetics from bonding through the celebrated debonding day.
