Maximum Comfort and Versatility

InterActive SL self-ligating brackets, due to their design and reduced dimensions, offer a very comfortable treatment for the patient without loss of control. The interactive clip ensures an efficient clinical management with progressive biomechanical control to take advantage of the lower ligation force early in treatment stages, while achieving perfect finishing with the final archwires.

 

Material & Design

The bracket body is made of biomedical steel and is laser welded on the 80 mesh gauge base with FDI identification.

The colored dot with disto-gingival identification indicates each bracket quadrant, with the same color code of all Leone bracket range.

 

 

Ball hooks:
perfectly spherical and low profile
for maximum comfort

 

 

MIM® technology:
the ideal technology for the complexity of the design, maximum accuracy of the slot and under the tie wings

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring Clip:
made of a highly elastic alloy, it guarantees easy and safe open/close movements. The sliding portion of the clip is constrained between the base and the body of the bracket by a laser welding that prevents the possibility of detachment

 

 

 

 

Beveled slot on mesio-distal edge:
allows sliding of archwires for heavy misalignments, while avoiding
notching and binding

 

 

 

 

 

Tie wings:
for the application of any kind of ligature in the eventual need for a biomechanical total control

 

Interactive control

The specific shape of clip and slot of InterActive brackets allows the user to modulate the most appropriate level of friction force between bracket and wire, depending on the needs of the various stages of treatment.

Passive phase
First stage round arches are not
bound by the clip: the low friction will facilitate the process of alignment and leveling.
Interactive phase
Rectangular arch wires, used for space closure, rotation, and torque control, work to elastically deform the clip for the biomechanical control necessary in these stages of treatment
Active phase
Rectangular arches for finishing and detailing completely fill the slot while going into active contact with clip: this allows the exploitation of elastic properties in order to obtain minimal movements for finishing of treatment
 
 

Easy open/close

The clip has a central hole and does not require any special tool for opening and closing

Opening
Insert the tip of a probe or utility tool into the hole in the clip and move towards the occlusal plane
Closing
Slide the clip with a slight pressure towards the gums using a tool tip or even just a finger
