An experience your patients will enjoy

"I use Clarity™ Advanced brackets because they offer a unique blend of strength and aesthetic. Their translucency allows them to blend with a wide range of tooth shades, giving patients a confident, natural look throughout treatment."

– Dr. Ben Samuelson, DMD MS

Flexibility to blend in or be bold

Patients can “blend in or be bold” by choosing from clear or colorful AlastiK™ Easy-to-Tie Ligatures, allowing personalization throughout treatment.

Brilliant smiles, exceptional performance

Brilliant esthetics

Translucent brackets are designed to blend with your patients' natural tooth color and to resist staining and discoloration, giving patients a brighter smile throughout treatment.

Small but strong

Created using fine-grained ceramic material, Clarity™ Advanced Ceramic Brackets offer trusted strength in a small size and a low profile.

Predictable debonding

Our unique Stress Concentrator takes the uncertainty out of the debonding process, allowing for mesial distal debonding with a simple squeeze, so you can debond predictably.

Enhanced patient comfort

Small, low-profile brackets feature smooth rounded corners to enhance patient comfort without sacrificing esthetics.

Efficient bonding and debonding

Simplify your bonding and improve your patient's experience with the 3M™ APC™ Flash Free Adhesive Coated Appliance System:

Brackets featuring APC™ Flash-Free Adhesive have 60% lower average bond failure rate* and eliminate the need for adhesive flash clean-up.
When used with 3M™ Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer, the system supports bonding in five steps compared to 11 with traditional light-cure bonding processes, and has shown a 40% reduction in the time required for bracket placement, positioning, and cleanup" compared to traditional light-cure bonding processes**.
The flash-free adhesive meniscus is designed to protect enamel under the bracket from acid erosion due to micro leakage.
Smooth ceramic bracket surfaces and edges are designed to support patient comfort, while proprietary Stress Concentrator technology on the bracket base supports predictable and consistent debonding.

*2014 JCO survey of orthodontists showed an average bond failure rate of 5% for labial cases, p. 617
