T3 Brackets
T3 Brackets
Selective engagement allows you to choose the ideal balance between low friction and interactive control for each treatment phase. Early in treatment, with smaller dimension round and rectangular wires, T3 bracket clips are passive, allowing teeth to unravel and level freely and quickly. As treatment progresses into larger rectangular wires, T3's unique clip actively engages the wire, providing three-dimensional control for precision detailing.
Bonding
T3 brackets should be bonded with the spring clip in the open position. This minimizes any chance of adhesive interfering with the operation of the clip. Clips should be closed when indirect bonding.
Use traditional direct bond adhesive when bonding T3 brackets. The T3 one piece design with microetched Quadra Grip™ base has proven to provide excellent bond strength.
