Description
- The rhodium coating provides an esthetically pleasing, bright silver appearance that may be more appealing to patients than traditional metal brackets.
Key Features
- Rhodium is a precious metal known for its high reflectivity, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. In orthodontics, rhodium is applied as a thin layer onto metal brackets through electroplating.
- Surface Properties: Research suggests rhodium coating might offer slight advantages in surface smoothness and friction. This could potentially lead to reduced plaque accumulation and improved hygiene maintenance.
- Biocompatibility: Studies indicate rhodium exhibits excellent biocompatibility, with minimal risk of allergic reactions compared to other metallic alternatives.
- Wedge base torque: This design is intended to reduce occlusal interference and provide a larger tying area for ligatures or elastics.
- Low profile: The brackets are designed to be relatively low profile, which may improve aesthetics and comfort for patients.
- Mid-size design: Compared to mini-size brackets, the Omni arch brackets offer a wider span, which may improve control and operability to help achieve precision control at lowest profile possible.
- Mesh base: Improves bond strength and torque control through enhanced mechanical lock.
- Widened inter-bracket span: Facilitates wire insertion even in complex malocclusions.
Prescriptions
- Formula-R (Roth Type) specifications allow the selection of vertical hooks which are friendly to the periodontal tissues of the upper and lower cuspids and premolars
- Formula-M (McLaughiin Type) utilizes sliding mechanics to achieve efficient three-dimensional tooth movement with more control over angulation (tipping, tilting, rotating)
