Overview

The new standard in ceramic bracket design

With ClearVu Cosmetic Brackets, TPO® delivers a revolutionary base technology that provides a reliable bond and safe, comfortable debond, virtually eliminating the stress typically associated with debonding. ClearVu Cosmetic Brackets also deliver enhancements to Personalized Color-Matching Technology® exclusive to TPO, offering a bracket that is ideal for all patients, especially those who request but don’t qualify for aligner treatment.

Engineering

It’s all about the base

What sets ClearVu Cosmetic Brackets apart is the patented polymer base. The mesh design closely replicates a metal base, while the polymer material provides a protective barrier between the ceramic bracket and the enamel. Since the base flexes upon debonding, the bracket removes cleanly without the need to fracture the bracket or rely on special tools.

Smoother, stronger, more reliable

ClearVu Cosmetic Brackets are precision-engineered using an advanced injection-molded process that produces a smooth, strong, reliable ceramic bracket. Unlike machined ceramics, the ClearVu surface is virtually flawless, without the micro-fractures that lead to breakage. Smooth, rounded edges at the ends of the archwire slot create less friction between the bracket and archwire, resulting in a ceramic bracket that performs like metal.

The ultimate combination of beauty and performance

ClearVu Cosmetic Brackets are made from the most advanced ceramic material available in a design ideally suited for the most effective, efficient treatment possible. The high-density material provides for an extremely smooth surface void of imperfections, providing enhanced fracture resistance and patient comfort. A proven true-twin bracket design delivers multiple ligation options and predictable results. Deep tie wing undercuts with substantial overhang provide for secure ligation. True ball-end cuspid and bicuspid hooks make elastic placement easy for your patients.

Aesthetics

TPO-Aesthetics

The perfect match for any patient

Only TP Orthodontics Aesthetic Brackets feature an exclusive Personalized Color-Matching Technology. Brackets absorb wavelengths of light and blend to adjust to the color of the teeth they’re on.

TPO-InVu-Aesthetics-03

What does it do?

  • Proprietary ceramic material closely duplicates optical properties of natural teeth
  • Absorbs certain wavelengths of light, allowing only natural tooth color to show
  • Creates look of transparency that matches virtually any tooth color

How does it work?

Optical properties, including color and translucency, vary widely among  patients’ teeth. The high density ceramic material consists of  microstructural elements that are specially engineered to provide a perfect  combination of these optical properties. When light and color are diffused  by the bracket, the bracket blends with the surrounding enamel – causing  it to be visually imperceptible.

Research-proven

When compared with 18 different brackets, the TPO bracket with Personalized Color-Matching Technology was the only brand that showed  a good relationship with the color of natural teeth regarding all color  parameters. It was also the only brand rated as “visually imperceptible”. 1
