3M Unitek is now Solventum Ortho
The SmartClip™ SL3 Self-Ligating Bracket System is comprised of a unique self-ligating clip mechanism with no moving doors providing unmatched efficiency.
3M has combined advanced materials engineering with sophisticated mechanical design to develop an even more effective self-ligating bracket system and has improved the unique self-ligating clip mechanism. The SmartClip SL3 Self-Ligating Appliance System now uses less force to give your patients more to smile about.
With no moving latches or doors, SmartClip™ SL3 Self-Ligating Brackets are true self-ligating brackets. The familiar twin design allows for selective engagement, giving the Orthodontist added control during treatment.
Also, the traditional tie-wings provide easy application of auxiliaries for space closure when desired. The open slot concept was designed with patient hygiene in mind because it facilitates easy cleaning; this helps reduce problems caused by plaque build-up often associated with other ligation mechanisms
- The SmartClip™ SL3 Self-Ligating Appliance System is offered in the MBT™ System prescription, as well as Ricketts* (High Torque) and Roth* (Low Torque) prescriptions, giving Orthodontists the option to select the treatment philosophy that works most efficiently in their practice
- Individualized treatment based on the diagnosis of each patient can be prescribed via components from the three prescriptions utilizing the Variable Prescription Orthodontics (VPO) concept.
- Re-designed to better serve Orthodontists’ needs, SmartClip SL3 Molar Brackets have small low profile tie-wings for increased treatment flexibility.
- For the benefits of self-ligation and an aesthetic appearance, the SmartClip SL3 Appliance System is fully compatible with our Clarity™ SL Self-Ligating Appliance System and can be used together in treatment to meet patient requirements.
- Clips have more room to flex, making them more forgiving to wire misalignment, thereby helping to minimize patient discomfort.
- Smooth radius surface for enhanced patient comfort
- Notched tie-wings for additional bicuspid identification
- Low profile self-ligating bracket
- Torque-in-base for level slot line up and improved finishing
- Enhanced intelligent SL3 clip for easy wire engagement and disengagement
- Intelligent SL3 clip pre-programmed for “release” of the archwire
- Open, clean design for improved patient hygiene
