Radiance Plus Clear Bracket – American Ortho

Radiance Plus from American Orthodontics is the clearest ceramic twin bracket available, proven to be much clearer than other monocrystalline or polycrystalline ceramic systems. Each Radiance Plus bracket is created from a single crystal of pure grown sapphire – one of the hardest materials in nature, second only to diamond. The crystal is honed and heat polished into a remarkably strong and beautiful bracket that’s nearly invisible on the teeth. 

Key Features

• Nickel Free – Radiance Plus® brackets are made from single crystal pure grown sapphire. Radiance Plus is nickel free.
• Dependable Bonding – The patented Radiance Quad-Matte™ base shown here at 24X magnification (top) and at 1000X magnification (bottom) allows for a strong bond in the center of the pad and a weaker bond on the edges for easy and predictable debonding.
• Pre-Polished Surface – Micro fissures and voide form across the surface of pure sapphire during the milling process. If left untreated, these flaws across the surface of sapphire could compromise its integrity under stress. Radiance benefits from a proprietary heat polishing process that removes these flaws from the surface of the bracket.
• Polished Surface – Heat polishing is the key to making Radiance Plus® a stronger and more fracture resistant ceramic bracket. Our proprietary heat polishing process creates just enough surface energy to smooth away any micro voids or flaws that could compromise the integrity of the bracket. The result is a monocrystalline bracket that resists torque fracture more than three times that of polycrystalline ceramic brackets.
