Victory Series Active Self-Ligating Brackets Torque-In-Base for Better Placement and Positioning Torque-In-Base Center of bracket base Torque-In-Slot Center of bracket base Center of clinical crown Center of archwire slot Center of clinical crown Center of archwire slot Torque-In-Base where the center of the archwire slot, the center of the bracket base, and the center of the clinical crown are aligned. This design allows for level archwire slot line-up 11. Torque-In-Slot where only the center of the bracket base and the clinical crown are aligned. Accurate Bracket Placement and Positioning An accurate bracket placement is achieved by using the parallel mesial-distal sides and vertical scribe line as visual references. 12,13 Versatility on Lower Cuspid Brackets The Victory Series Active SL Bracket system incorporates a two degree rotation in the lower cuspid base to help reduce first order bends between lateral and cuspid brackets and between cuspid and bicuspid brackets. Ample Under Tie-Wing Area Did you ever think about how many times you use an elastic chain during a treatment? The Victory Series Active SL Bracket profile has been designed with an ample under tiewing area for a simple use of elastic chains or elastic ligatures.

Reliable Self-Ligating Door Mechanism 14 The Victory Series Active SL Bracket body has been manufactured with 17-4 PH Stainless steel that provides high resistance against deformation 15. For the door material, a nickel-cobalt alloy provides the right balance between flexibility and strength. Heat treated nickel-cobalt alloy door for secure and robust ligation 5 No Special Tools Required The door opening direction is always to occlusal so mastication forces go against it. This reduces the possibility of spontaneous door opening even more. Commonly available instruments already in your office may be used to open and close the self-ligating door. The instrument should have a pointed tip to facilitate opening. To close the door, you may simply apply finger pressure. Place instrument Open the door Close the door Place instrument with pointed tip into the U-notch located at the edge of the door (at the center of the bracket). Slide the door straight towards the occlusal. Doors can be also easily opened using the gingival tab. Doors can be closed using your fingertip. You can also use the 3M Unitek Double-Ended Dual Purpose Instrument, REF 900-815.

APC II Adhesive Coated Appliance System The perfect complement APC II Adhesive Coated Appliance System Always a Step Ahead The APC II Adhesive Coated Appliance System pre-coats each bracket with an optimum and consistent amount of adhesive. There s no adhesive handling, no application and no opportunity to contaminate the bracket base. Add Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer that performs under both moist and dry conditions, and bonding variables will be substantially reduced. The system is completed with the Ortholux Luminous Curing Light, designed to reduce bonding time and enhance patient satisfaction. A Standard for Bonding Ease that Assures Good Hygiene That s because each APC adhesive pre-coated bracket is uniformly coated with just the right amount of adhesive to help you place it quickly and securely. With the Adhesive Coated Appliance System, the amount of adhesive is always the same to reduce the risk of interfering with the door mechanism. 3M Adhesive Innovation it s everywhere you expect......and some places you do not The same kind of innovative thinking that led to 3M adhesives being used to secure components in the wings, landing gear and radar domes of jumbo jets has also led us to better ways of adhering brackets to teeth. Our revolutionary APC Adhesive Coated Appliance System gives you unprecedented control of bonding variables in a simpler, more efficient system.

Unitek Nitinol Archwires Increase the versatility Unitek Nitinol Archwires Wired for Performance Victory Series Active Self-Ligating Brackets allow your practice to have reduced chair time, do fewer archwire changes, and have longer intervals between appointments. Additionally, incorporating Unitek Nitinol Heat-Activated Archwires allows you to do it with very low forces for patient comfort. At room temperature, or better yet, refrigerated temperature, Unitek Nitinol Heat-Activated archwires are easy on your patients and easy on you. Once engaged, Unitek Nitinol Heat-Activated archwires generate light continuous forces. As a result, your patients are likely to be more comfortable during their treatment time. Cross section/effective torque Slot Unitek Nitinol Heat-Activated Archwires maintain strict corner radius specifications Even in the most difficult, crowded cases, wire insertion and engagement can be facilitated with ease.

of the System Active Bracket Design Means Dynamic Performance Victory Series Active Self-Ligating Brackets offer dynamic interaction between the ligating mechanism and the archwire as treatment phases change, with performance advantages in each phase. Passive Phase Interactive Phase Active Phase Round archwires in.022 slot.014 x.025 in.022 slot.019 x.025 in.022 slot With round archwires, the bracket is passive, resulting in minimal archwire contact and low friction for efficient leveling and alignment. Small square or rectangular archwires just touching the ligating mechanism. This adds control during the working phase for space closure, rotation control and arch form expression. Larger rectangular archwires engage the ligating mechanism, offering full control for finishing and detailing.

Victory Series Direct Bonding Tubes Work great with the 3M S Victory Series 1 st and 2 nd Molar Tubes These buccal tubes are designed to receive the archwire on the first try and reduce occlusal interference. The radiused hook is designed for both comfort and practical function, just as the tubes are contoured for patient comfort. Lower non-convertible single You can achieve a strong and more consistent bond in each case with the Victory Series Molar Bonding Base. Look closely at its profile and you ll see a curved anatomical design for optimal tube-to-tooth fit. The micro-etched 80-gauge mesh, along with the buccal indent and the correct anatomical fit, are designed for increased bond strength. The buccal indent assists in more accurate tube positioning - a key advantage that can eliminate time consuming archwire adjustments. Upper convertible single The APC Adhesive Coated Appliance System is the fastest, most convenient and efficient method you can use for direct bond buccal tube placement. Please ask your sales representative for the different options and prescriptions you have available.

elf-ligating Appliance System Chamfered tube opening to assist in wire insertion Metal injection molded, including integral hook No tie-wings to come into occlusion Ligature wire channel Micro-etched base with offset option Victory Series 2 nd Bicuspid Tubes The design of the Victory Series 2 nd Bicuspid Tube eliminates occlusal tie-wings, which can cause occlusal interference and its potential for bond failures. With the use of the tube rather than a slot, the need for ligatures has been eliminated as well. There are advantages for the patient, too. The smooth radiused design improves patient comfort and facilitates better hygiene. You can also order the offset base option. The chamfered tube opening will assist in wire insertion. Like the Victory Series Active Self-Ligating Bracket System, this tube is available with APC II Pre-Coat Appliance System. Victory Series 2 nd Molar Mini Tubes The Victory Series Mini Tube is an excellent solution for dealing with partially erupted second molars. These tubes have a mesiallyextended, compound contoured, micro-etched bonding base that allows for a superior fit and bond strength. No other mini tube offers 3M Unitek s combination of advanced hook design, precise base fit, and seating notch. Seating notch Mesial extended base Optional APC II Adhesive Coated Appliance System Available Jumbo Base 3M Unitek buccal tubes are available with Jumbo bases that are 29% larger than standard bases providing a larger base/adhesive/tooth contact area.
