Two Options for Practices on the Move
No•Trace System is an emerging segment within the orthodontic field. It's an innovative way to address common problems such as crowding, gaps and bite discrepancies. Best of all, each No•Trace System case costs significantly less to administer than other minor treatment alternatives offered today.
With two placement options available to you, placing No•Trace brackets and archwires, is a simple process. Remarkably similar to a typical labial procedure it typically requires about 30 minutes of chair time to complete.
Direct Placement
Direct placement of No•Trace brackets requires 3 easy steps. First, prep the teeth as you would for normal labial bonding. Second, apply adhesive and position brackets 1-2mm from the incisal edge and cure. Once the brackets are completely cured, the archwire can be immediately inserted in to the self-ligating No•Trace brackets, using thumb pressure to close the clip and secure the wire in the same manner as labial self-ligating brackets.
Indirect Placement
No•Trace System Indirect Bonding service is easy to use, and ensures complete confidence that each bracket will be in its ideal position. Once you submit your patient's impression, our lab technicians create a cast model and place the brackets on the model per your exact prescription. Hi-res images are securely posted on-line for the clinician to review and approve. Once approved, the No•Trace System indirect transfer trays are fabricated from a specially formulated polymer that demonstrates high flexibility while maintaining necessary stability
Custom bases are created that conform to the anatomy of each tooth. As a result bonding the bracket to the enamel can be accomplished with an extremely thin coating of the uniquely formulated adhesive provided that light cures easily and more efficiently than conventional adhesives. Once complete a No•Trace System Patient Kit is shipped to you to complete your case.
