In-Ovation braces (made by GAC) utilize sliding door technology know as “self-ligation,” allowing the wire to slide back and forth within the bracket. No elastic or steel ties are used with the In-Ovation brackets. In-Ovation brackets create less friction, decreases treatment time, and results in greater patient comfort overall. This technology also reduces the number of adjustments required during orthodontic treatment.
In-Ovation ceramic brackets
In-Ovation ceramic brackets not only provide the same low friction advantages such as greater comfort and reduced treatment time, but also have a more esthetic appearance. Most of the metal is replaced with a ceramic tooth colored material.
Meaw is an acronym for Multi-loop Edgewise Arch Wire. The wire is used in combination with rubber bands to treat patients where the only other alternative is jaw surgery. During the consultation the doctors will determine if surgery can be avoided with this type of treatment.
