NV Hybrid Brackets
Advanced mini-twin with a polymer mesh base.
The base makes the NV Hybrid Bracket different from every other mini-twin available today. It allows light to fully penetrate when curing, resulting in a full, fast cure and improved bond strength.
The metal face of the NV bracket is made from cobalt chromium for increased strength and performance. It is essentially nickel-free for sensitive patients.
Other features include:
- Small design combined with a clear base provides exceptional aesthetics. Low-profile mini-twin design for increased patient comfort.
- Biocompatible for sensitive patients.
- Cobalt chromium increases overall bracket strength and helps prevent archwire slot collapse.
- The flexible mesh base retains most of the adhesive upon debonding; clean-up is quick and easy.
- Cobalt chromium is shown to produce lower friction than stainless steel1.
- Contoured base creates a low profile for improved patient comfort.
- Small metal face and clear base increase aesthetic appeal.
- Unique polymer base retains most of the adhesive at debonding for easier clean-up.
