Buccal Tubes

Tubes and bands for exceptional adhesion

Whether you treat with conventional twins or self-ligating brackets, Ormco tubes and bands are designed to minimize occlusal interference while delivering outstanding bond retention.

Choose from titanium tubes to the innovative SnapLink™ re-convertible tubes, which help you open or close the cap as often as needed for more efficient treatment. Whether you treat with conventional twins or self-ligating brackets, the SnapLink re-convertible tube helps you gain more control and treat your patients more efficiently. Titanium buccal tubes combine the shock absorbency and adhesive affinity of titanium with an innovative design that makes bonding easy and more reliable.

Product Range

The product range includes:

• SnapLink: Whether you treat with conventional twins or self-ligating brackets, the SnapLink re-convertible tube helps you gain more control and treat patients more efficiently.

• Accent: The Accent buccal tube is designed to avoid wing interference and premature cap failure. Accent is not convertible, has no tie-wings and has a flared mesial opening.

• Accent Mini: Accent Mini buccal tubes combine precision fit with reliable performance. Their low profile design aims to eliminate occlusal interference and offer greater patient comfort. Accent Mini tubes are smaller than standard Accent tubes and are made of stainless steel.

• Peerless: Peerless cast tubes are 20% smaller than other options offered by the competition.

Titanium Buccal Tubes Features

• Mesial opening on the tube makes archwire engagement easy without added size.
• Teardrop design minimizes occlusal interference.
• Notch makes it easy to hold the tube with plier or tweezers.
• Biocompatible identification dot, with no nickel.
• Absorbs half the energy created by an impact and transmits less force to the join between bracket and tooth.
• Improved bonding and patient comfort.
• The adhesive flows better through the titanium mesh, penetrating it better.

Advantages

• Convert and re-convert for more effective treatment
• Improve sliding mechanics and gain greater control
• Decrease chair time with faster wire changes
• Increase patient comfort
• Increase bond reliability
• Innovative SpinTek slide design

Main Characteristics

• Flared mesial openings: The accentuated flared mesial opening on Accent tubes greatly facilitates wire insertion.
• Non-convertible caps: No premature conversions and no conversion difficulties to complicate and delay treatment.
• No tie-wings: Accent tubes eliminate the common causes of interference with opposing teeth and tubes.
• Easy to open: Insert the flat end of the SpinTek slide opening/closing instrument into the orifice and twist 90º. The tube, not the patient's tooth, will absorb the force.
• Easy to close: To close, position the ridged ends of the instrument on one side of the slot and insert the archwire. Lightly press the other end until you hear the click confirming that you have closed the slide.
