If anterior spacing is present, currently doctors might not be able to insert the first wire without using multiple appointments. To avoid this, the “mushroom” bends in the round initial wires will be distalized to be able to ligate the wire, so spaces from canine to canine can be closed conveniently. There is no need for the doctor to calculate. Our digital wire design will apply the new values for any cases with more than 1.5 mm of space in the anteriors.

Unitek™ Lingual Instruments* were developed to provide the versatility and precision needed for today‘s treatment requirements. The new instruments feature: longer handles for access to difficult to reach areas, smooth contours for added patient comfort, and smaller instrument heads to accommodate the tight interproximal space on the lingual side.
AlastiK™ Lingual Ligatures* are applied as a plain tie and express the same force as an overtie, making them faster and easier to handle than other ligation techniques. With an the optimized cross section, the AlastiK Lingual Ligatures also express more force than other lingual ligatures currently available. The proprietary design features a convenient tab which enables a secure grip and allows for easy application.
What Doctors are Saying:
“Easier to grip for assistants, saves time in comparison to overties.” “The AlastiK™ Lingual Ligatures are significantly easier to place with the same desired effect as overties, while being comfortable for patients.”
