SmartClip SL3 Self-Ligating Bracket Systemis a cutting-edge orthodontic solution, featuring a unique self-ligating clip mechanism with no moving doors, ensuring unparalleled efficiency. 3M Unitek has integrated advanced materials engineering and refined mechanical design to enhance the effectiveness of the self-ligating clip mechanism. This results in reduced force application, offering patients a more comfortable orthodontic experience. With no moving latches or doors, SmartClip SL3 brackets are true self-ligating brackets. The twin design allows for selective engagement, providing orthodontists with increased control during treatment.
