Metal Brackets
A very robust and reliable example of fixed braces. The various metal bracket systems differ widely in quality and size.
Mini brackets
We are pleased to recommend the Equilibrium mini bracket by Dentaurum. This is currently the smallest bracket available on the international market. Programming the final tooth position into these brackets is carried out according to the MBT system, one of the most modern tooth position definitions worldwide.
- Hygienic
- Because of the brackets' very small size, it is easier to care for the surrounding tooth surfaces.
- Smallest metal bracket around
- The Equilibrium mini brackets from the Dentaurum company are currently the world's smallest metal brackets available on the market.
- Price performance
- Our mini brackets provide high quality optics and a excellent precision at an affordable price.
Metal brackets are the most robust version of fixed braces because of their material properties. In addition they offer a good price-performance ratio.
Nickel-free brackets
Menzanium® Brackets
For hypersensitive patients with a documented nickel allergy. A similar very robust variant of metal brackets, which are just slightly larger than mini brackets. Absolutely nickel-free.
Metal brackets are the most robust version of fixed braces because of their material properties.
- Hygienic
- The smooth surfaces allow for good dental care.
- Suitable for patients allergic to nickel
- In general, all of the products we use are nickel-free according to ISO 6871-1. To meet the specific needs of high-grade allergic patients we offer our nickel-free range of metal brackets; alternatively, ceramic brackets can be chosen. The extra costs are covered by health insurance upon submission of an allergy pass.
