Control Interactive spring clip for control throughout treatment Precision True straight wire design for optimal, precise treatment options Practice Advantages Not all self-ligating brackets are created equal. In-Ovation R brackets were created to optimize the treatment process with precision engineering and true straight wire design. The In-Ovation orthodontic systems are the result of a keen understanding of human physiology and orthodontic engineering. The compound contoured base of the In-Ovation R bracket is designed to provide a precise anatomical fit across the enamel surface of the tooth. The smooth swept tie-wings are engineered to minimize occlusal interference in order to increase patient comfort. In addition, the chamfered archwire slot is designed to reduce chair time by facilitating wire engagement and reducing the chance of archwire binding or crimping. This dedication to quality and attention to detail is infused into every product that carries the In-Ovation name.

In-Ovation R Dedication to Detail Spring Clip True Twin Design Occlusal and gingival twin tie-wings offer an optimal mesial, distal span for achieving superior rotation control. The elimination of the elastomeric ligatures increase your inter-bracket distance. Spring Clip The self-ligating clip extends fully through the vertical channel in the bracket body, enhancing the structural integrity of the clip. True Twin Full Slot Slip Coverage The In-Ovation R clip provides full coverage across the entire slot for superior rotational control. This allows the clip to interact with the wire both on the mesial and distal, as needed, without the need for auxiliaries. Full Slot Slip Coverage Easy Open Clip The clip opens easily when pressure is applied occlusally to the v-notched clip at the gingival side of the bracket, using the engage R or similar instrument. The clip can be closed with an instrument or simple finger pressure on the incisal curve. Easy Open Clip Slot Blocker A patented slot blocker prevents the archwire from escaping from the slot and sliding up into the clip engagement channel. Slot Blocker Triple Chamfered Slot Walls Slot walls are beveled outward, facilitating wire engagement and reducing the chance of the archwire binding or crimping.

Straight Wire Technology Straight Wire Technology A true straight wire appliance is one in which all the brackets have been designed to guide the teeth into their ideal position with a preformed wire. In-Ovation R is a true straight wire appliance that features a compound contour base, torque in the base, programmed in/out control and level slot alignment. Disto-Gingival Dimple A color code on the disto-gingival tie-wing provides immediate identification of the tooth for which the bracket was designed. Base Design Disto-Gingival Dimple Base Design An 80 gauge single mesh, compound contoured base provides a precise anatomical fit. The Standard Palmer Notation laser etched into the mesh facilitates bracket management with a ready reference of the quadrant, tooth and prescription. Vertical Scribe Line A scribe line on the bracket face aids positioning by providing a convenient reference for orienting the center line of the bracket with the facial axis of the clinical crown (FACC). Smooth Swept Tie-Wings Smooth, swept tie-wings help to reduce occlusal interference while increasing patient comfort. Adequate undercuts allow easy anchoring for elastic chains or the fastening of color ties at the patient s request. Vertical Scribe Line Smooth Swept Tie-Wings
In-Ovation Means Interactive In-Ovation R provides you with the ability to start and effectively finish your treatment with one, simple system. Using the technique of your choice, In-Ovation R enables you to maintain the precise degree of control that you need for each phase of your patient s treatment. In-Ovation R s unique Interactive technology means you can choose the degree of engagement between the bracket and wire. It can be passive for leveling and aligning, expressive where control is realized and free-sliding is maintained, or active for controlled, optimal finishing. Interactive Control Passive Expressive Active Passive Phase Small, round wires slide freely, initiating the tooth movement process as the archwire gently levels the teeth and coaxes them into alignment. Expressive Phase Square or rectangular wires are gently seated into the base of the slot without contacting the clip. Programming is expressed, rotations are corrected and space closures are completed. Active Phase Rectangular archwires extend beyond the slot to fully engage the clip, providing the active control necessary for functional finishing, uprighting of the roots and adjusting the torque.

True Straight Wire Design for Truly Predictable Outcomes In-Ovation is a completely adjusted true straight wire appliance system that positions teeth at all four dimensions: in/out, angulations, torque, and overcorrection. With this completely adjusted four dimensional appliance system you will need no offset bends in the archwires to obtain an optimal finish in most cases (if the brackets are optimally positioned on teeth). In order to be considered a completely four dimensional appliance, the bracket must contain: Compound contour base Torque in base Proper in/out and anti-rotation Level slot alignment at the conclusion of appliance therapy If any of these features is missing from a bracket design, even a case with perfect placement can be compromised. Compound Contour Base The design of the appliances base must mirror the mesio-distal and occluso or inciso gingival curvature of the crown of each tooth type. The base curvature must be the same or slightly more curved than the tooth surface so that the bracket stem and slot are precisely positioned. This allows the appliance to properly transmit the programmed activation. Compound Contour No Contour Bent Slot Torque In The Base A fundamental necessity for a programmed appliance is torque in the base, but this must be accompanied by the correct base contouring or it will not work properly. This allows the slot point, the base point (middle of the base) and the reference point on the tooth to be on the same plane, a necessity for proper tooth positioning and level slot alignment. Non-Adjusted Completely Adjusted Part Art. Part Science. All Orthodontics.
Programmed In/Out As a result of the proper thickness relative to the adjacent brackets, in and out (first order) bends are virtually eliminated with proper bracket placement. not straight wire straight wire Level Slot Alignment When all the teeth reach their programmed positions, all four dimensions are correct, allowing alignment, leveling, and parallelism of all the slots on all the brackets around the arch. Non-Adjusted Partially Adjusted Completely Adjusted
A Proper Finish Begins With a Proper Start Perhaps the single-most-important phase of orthodontic treatment is proper bracket placement. Taking time to achieve proper placement at the outset can help mitigate or even eliminate final archwire bends and correction. What s more, the importance of bracket placement is further emphasized given the popularity of pre-programmed brackets and true straight wire appliances. Not only will correct placement help cases to progress more-predictably, but it will also ensure treatment concludes on schedule. Although intuitively simple, many orthodontic professionals underestimate the inherent challenges in bracketing procedures. In many ways, this is understandable. For one, there s very little published materials made specifically to teach ideal bracketing techniques. In fact much of the difficulty in bracket placement can be exacerbated by the lack of a single, cohesive school of thought. Many individuals have been exposed to numerous techniques over FAAC the course of their career. An effort to achieve FA Point the benefits of all, may unfortunately lead to a scenario where the clinician winds up inadvertently negating the inherent benefits of a particular technique.

They have four rigid walls that create a tunnel for the archwire to go through. Since molar tubes are generally wide in design (4 mm or more), they can control rotations and tip very well. Also, there is typically no engaging force such as stainless or elastomeric ligatures pressing the wire onto the base of the tube. Therefore an inherent problem with traditional tubes is the lack of torque they are able to express due to their passivity. This passivity works very well in some stages of treatment mechanics, but torque expression can be very difficult to achieve toward the end of the treatment. Orthodontists are aware of the clinical problems and have developed different ways to manage the molars to obtain proper torque. (i.e TPA, Torquing wires, TADS etc) While these methods are viable, they can be uncomfortable, time consuming, not reliable and or expensive. That is why DENTSPLY GAC offers Self Ligating buccal tubes as part of the In-Ovation system. Self-Ligating buccal tubes address the need for torque control by utilizing the interactive technology of the In-Ovation system.
