DELTA FORCE BRACKET SYSTEM Delta Force Bracket - A Change for the Better Fig 1 Archwire Deflection The reduced mesial-distal width of the gingival ligature post on the unitary body allows the archwire to be easily flexed into the bracket slot, especially in severe malocclusion cases (Figure 1). Accurate In-Out Alignment Individual bracket thickness is designed into each Delta Force Bracket (labiallingual) reducing the need for 1st order (in/out) wire bends. Fig 2 Torque in Base Torque is incorporated into each bracket to provide you with ultimate precision and control. The brackets are also anatomically contoured (mesial-distal/ occlusal-gingival) for an accurate fit of each individual tooth. In addition, the design promotes level slot line-up (Figure 2). Torque Control Torque in the mandibular bicuspid brackets and molar buccal tubes has been reduced to -12 degrees to reduce unwanted lingual dumping in the mandibular arch. Fig 3 Rotational Control The occlusal tie wings of the Delta Force Brackets are designed to be as wide as the tie wings on the Elite Mini-Twin Brackets to maximize rotational control (Figure 3). Fig 4 Reference Points Each bracket has three reference points for fast and accurate placement. A center scribe line aligns with the long axis of the clinical crown. The archwire slot and occlusal base line up with the occlusal tooth surface (Figure 4). Fig 5 Power Hook Nickel-Lite Cuspid Brackets with optional power hooks are available for increased efficiency in closing spaces and retracting anterior teeth (Figure 5).
