Ormco Unveils Spark™ Retainers and BiteSync™ Class II Corrector System
Ormco Corporation, a cornerstone in the orthodontics industry for over 60 years, has officially announced its latest breakthrough products: Spark™ Retainers and the BiteSync™ Class II Corrector System. These innovations promise to elevate patient comfort and streamline clinical workflows, making them essential tools for orthodontic practitioners.
Introduction of Spark Retainers
With the introduction of the Spark Retainers, orthodontists can now offer a solution that emphasizes both comfort and durability. Designed to work seamlessly with Spark™ Clear Aligners, Ormco™ Digital Bonding, or even traditional fixed brackets, the retainers are set to enhance the overall orthodontic experience. As many practitioners know, the right retainer is key in retaining the beautiful results achieved during treatments, and these retainers aim to fulfill that requirement.
Comfort and Flexibility
Spark Retainers stand out due to their customizable options. Features like bite ramps and pontics allow for tailored treatment that can address each patient’s unique needs. Furthermore, with the ability to manage all patient types—from those using Spark Aligners to traditional options—within a single platform, practitioners can see enhanced efficiency in their practice.
In an interview, Dr. Colby Gage explained how Spark technology facilitates a comprehensive patient experience, from the onset of treatment all the way through to retention. He enthusiastically stated, "The clinical options with Spark Retainers help me maintain the beautiful smile outcomes I achieve with Spark Clear Aligners and Ormco Digital Bonding." This sentiment resonates with many orthodontists who yearn for a solution that matches their clinical needs with patient comfort.
The BiteSync Class II Corrector System
Expanding their innovation, Ormco has also introduced the BiteSync Class II Corrector System. This system aims to tackle Class II malocclusions effectively with features that promote mandibular advancement. The BiteSync comprises two key components: the Occlusion Guide, which aids in mandibular advancement, and the Sidebar, intended for maxillary distalization. This dual functionality enables clinicians to modify treatment strategies based on individual patient requirements, either through simultaneous action or separate use.
Dr. Jennifer Messenger shared her experiences with BiteSync, noting the remarkable improvement in Class II cases within her practice. She stated, "I'm getting bite correction in less than 6 months, which has worked great for both my teen and adult patients." Such rapid results are highly desirable in a field that often leans towards long-term treatment plans.
Key Features of BiteSync
The BiteSync system offers several advantages:
- - Efficiency: Allows for both mandibular advancement and tooth movement to occur concurrently, maximizing treatment time.
- - Simplicity: No extra appliances are needed, as practitioners can select the BiteSync option within the Spark DTX Portal for streamlined case management.
- - Flexibility: Applicable for both mixed and permanent dentition, making it versatile for various age groups.
