A new addition to the discovery® premium bracket family: discovery® smart sl
Published on
With discovery® smart sl, Dentaurum is expanding its globally successful discovery® premium bracket family with a forward-looking solution: a passive self-ligating bracket that impresses with its smart handling, high-quality materials, and reliable performance. The cover opens effortlessly with an intuitive twisting motion using the specially designed opening instrument.
#CLICK&GO – Simple. Fast. Intuitive.
Thanks to the simple opening and closing mechanism, the cover can be closed effortlessly by sliding it from the incisal to the occlusal side. A distinct “CLICK” indicates that the cover has locked securely into place—“GO” stands for quick archwire changes and significantly reduced chair time.
Gentle tooth movement and high patient comfort
The passive low-friction bracket minimizes friction and allows for controlled forces, enabling efficient, gentle tooth movement. Its low profile and rounded surfaces ensure a high level of comfort.
Made in Germany – Precision from the Northern Black Forest
discovery ® smart sl is manufactured using the precise MIM process at Dentaurum’s headquarters in Ispringen. It combines proven strengths—such as the patented laser-structured base with FDI marking for easy handling, the optimized wing design, and the anatomically shaped bracket base—with new features that ensure a high level of safety and precise rotation control.
As if cast from a single mold—for high biocompatibility
discovery ® smart sl is a three-piece bracket and is therefore particularly biocompatible, as it contains no solder whatsoever. This is made possible by the patented laser-structured base and the hooks, which are manufactured as a single piece with the bracket and injection-molded directly onto it.
Smart packaging—hygienic in a blister pack
Since 2018, customers have been able to order discovery® smart brackets hygienically packaged in foil-sealed blister packs. discovery® smart sl brackets also undergo a rigorous cleaning process consisting of up to seven steps. High-precision robots place the brackets into the blister packs in the correct orientation according to their FDI codes as part of an automated process. The blister packs are then hygienically sealed with two layers of foil.
Highlights at a Glance:
- Intuitive opening/closing mechanism for quick sheet changes
- Low profile for superior comfort
- Three-piece bracket – high biocompatibility without solder
- Large wing undercuts for flexible ligation
- Optimized rotational control thanks to a stable slot located close to the tooth
- Hygienically packaged in a blister pack
The Ideal Combination
For comfortable treatment in the molar region, Dentaurum offers the self-ligating Ortho-Cast sl buccal tube as well as the Ortho-Cast M-Series mini—both of which are also manufactured using the precise MIM process. The product line is rounded out by a comprehensive range of archwires that has been proven effective for years.
