The following are examples of appliance systems employed at Transformation Orthodontics: 3M Unitek's Victory Series™ Appliance System was the result of discussions with orthodontists. 3M Unitek research and development engineers listened to each doctor's comments about important product features as well as areas for product improvement. Based on this extensive research, 3M Unitek has designed one of the most advanced, most completely integrated appliance systems in the orthodontic industry. The Victory Series appliance system is comprised of brackets, bands, buccal tubes and molar bonding bases which offer you a menu of choices sure to fit into your treatment protocol. Polycarbonate braces (a clear plastic) can "melt" away and display less stain resistance than Clarity™ brackets. The metal slot of the Clarity bracket prevents binding of porcelain glass particles to the arch wire with certain mechanics; therefore the anterior teeth do not provide an anchoring force. Traditional ceramic braces utilized a chemical adhesion to teeth; Clarity™ braces adhere by a mechanical bond which is much better for tooth health. ___________________________________________________________________________
Clarity™ Metal-Reinforced Ceramic Brackets offer a combination of easy debonding, sliding mechanics, strength and aesthetics. Smooth, sculptured and translucent, Clarity braces are clearly the ultimate fashion accessory in orthodontic wear.
Speed Brackets™
Speed™ is a miniaturized self-ligating appliance with the benefits of aesthetics, comfort, time savings in self-ligation of wires and precision in tooth movement due to the action of SPEED's Super Elastic Spring Clip.

Care must be taken to avoid certain crunchy or sticky foods. Crunchy foods can pop brackets off the adhesive bonded to the tooth. Sticky foods can become trapped in the crevices around brackets and can cause cavities. More information can be found in:
