LAPORTE, Indiana--NV Hybrid Bracket from TP Orthodontics provides improved bonding, esthetics, and biocompatibility.

Bond reliability is crucial to orthodontic treatment success. The NV Hybrid Bracket from TP Orthodontics improves bond strength due to its advanced polymer mesh base. The base allows light to fully penetrate when curing, resulting in a secure, lasting bond. This technology is not available with any other metal mini-twin bracket.

The clear base also improves the bracket's aesthetic appeal by blending in with the color of patients'teeth. The contoured base creates a low profile that results in improved patient comfort and eliminates occlusal interference. Esthetics are further enhanced by the compact design and small metal face.

The NV bracket surface is made from cobalt chromium, a hard alloy that provides increased bracket strength and helps prevent archwire slot collapse. CoCr has been shown to produce lower friction values than stainless steel. It is essentially nickel-free and biocompatible for sensitive patients.

The NV bracket debonds as easily as metal without the need for special tools. Simply squeeze the base with a sharp, two-jawed instrument such as debonding pliers or ligature cutters and the bracket base will flex and release from the tooth. The NV Hybrid Bracket is available in MBT.
