Description:

3M Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets Kit, 3006-111, is an aesthetic orthodontic bracket system designed for fixed orthodontic treatment. The kit contains 20 ceramic brackets for upper and lower arches in a 5x5 configuration. It features a .022-inch slot, 345Hk prescription, and APC II pre-coated adhesive technology, providing a convenient bracket delivery option for orthodontic professionals. Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets are designed to provide an aesthetic alternative to conventional metal brackets. Their ceramic construction offers a tooth-colored, less conspicuous appearance that can be appealing to patients seeking a more discreet orthodontic appliance. The bracket design also incorporates features intended to support accurate placement, efficient treatment, and clinician control throughout orthodontic procedures. The .022-inch slot configuration is intended for orthodontic treatment systems using compatible .022-inch archwires and associated components. The 345Hk designation identifies the specific prescription and hook configuration associated with this bracket model. The upper/lower 5x5 configuration supplies brackets for the teeth included in the standard five-tooth-per-quadrant arrangement, providing a complete 20-bracket set for a typical bonding procedure. APC II adhesive-coated technology provides a pre-applied orthodontic adhesive on the bracket base. This can simplify chairside preparation by eliminating the need to dispense and manually apply separate adhesive to each bracket before placement. The pre-coated format can support a more consistent workflow and help clinicians focus on accurate bracket positioning and bonding. Proper activation, placement, and light curing should always be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The bracket design includes tooth-specific contouring intended to support appropriate adaptation to the tooth surface. Ceramic construction, customized base geometry, and tie-wing features are designed to support different clinical ligation and treatment techniques. These characteristics can contribute to an organized orthodontic workflow while maintaining an aesthetic appearance throughout treatment. Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets are also designed with features intended to facilitate bracket removal at the completion of treatment. The system incorporates a design that helps concentrate stress during debonding, supporting controlled bracket removal when the recommended clinical technique is followed. Overall, the 3M Clarity Advanced Ceramic Brackets Kit, 3006-111, provides 20 APC II adhesive-coated ceramic brackets with a .022-inch slot, upper/lower 5x5 configuration, and 345Hk prescription. The combination of aesthetic ceramic construction, convenient adhesive-coated delivery, and orthodontic design features makes this kit a practical option for clinicians providing fixed orthodontic treatment.
