ABOUT INBRACE
Research shows three in four people need orthodontic
treatment, yet in the United States alone, less than 2.5% of those
indicated follow through. Why?
Many consumers are not starting treatment because orthodontists
are not offering a treatment option that fits their
lifestyle-they're either too visible with metal/clear braces or
require too much compliance with plastic aligners. New categories
of orthodontic treatment in the past grew our profession by
challenging the status quo and introducing stepwise innovation
leading to stepwise growth in our market.
InBrace, a new category of behind-the-teeth orthodontic
treatment, developed a way of moving teeth using programmed
nonsliding mechanics (PNM) which enables autonomous tooth
movement in all six degrees of freedom, including opening and
closing spaces, simultaneously and automatically from day one.
PNM is made possible by a programmed Smartwire that is fully
customized for each patient's unique smile.
The InBrace appliance design, combined with the benefi ts
of PNM, enables orthodontists to leverage all the effi ciency
upsides of customized orthodontic treatment with the added
benefi t of offering a differentiated behind-the-teeth option that
is delegable to assistants.
couldn't be seen for an appointment for four
months because of COVID-19, but treatment
still was able to progress as planned
because of the programmed automation with
the InBrace system.
On comparison of pretreatment
and posttreatment records (Fig. 6), all
treatment objectives were achieved where:

1. Upper and lower crowding was resolved.
2. UL3 crossbite was resolved.
3. Class I relationship was achieved.
4. Coincident midlines were achieved.
5. Upper midline was parallel with the
facial midline.
Figs. 7a and 7b show pretreatment and
posttreatment panoramic radiographs.
Overall, this case illustrated that
the InBrace system using PNM allows
for aesthetic, predictable, effi cient and
compliance-free treatment with minimal
clinician intervention, because of the
automation built into the programmed
Smartwires.
