Advantages of the Incognito - Bracketsystem

In addition to the at least partial solution for the main problems so far, the innovative design of this lingual bracket series provides further features improving clinical handling properties.

Another advantage of our new Incognito Bracket System is the vertical slot. With that, corrective derotation of teeth can be performed along the archwire, even without the additional application of lasso elastics. The ligation itself is performed with so-called German Overties (GOT). In the ligation process, the archwire is clearly deflected, thus contributing in addition to the enlargement of the dental arch. This procedure is increasingly superseding more complex mechanics such as the frequently used advancement stops.

Furthermore the modular bracket structure of our new system allows the single components (base, bracket body, hook) to be positioned independently of one another, thus markedly differing from previous systems. Even in cases of rotated teeth and short clinical crowns, the available enamel area of the tooth can be optimally utilized.

Manufacturing the new bracket system with a Rapid Prototyping technique gives it great flexibility. Each individual bracket series can be adapted not only to the patient but also to the orthodontist. In addition, clinically promising modifications and further developments can be implemented immediately with minimum resource input and without involving any changes in the production process.

As the brackets are made of an alloy with a high portion of gold, they offer an interesting alternative especially for patients who are allergic to nickel.

The production costs are comparable to those involved in the manufacturing and laboratory positioning of existing systems.
