3M Victory Series Low Profile Brackets Kit, 3024-102, APC II, .018, U/L 5x5, 345Hk, 20/Kit

Description:

3M Victory Series Low Profile Brackets Kit, 3024-102, is an orthodontic bracket system designed for fixed orthodontic treatment. The kit contains 20 brackets configured for the upper and lower arches in a 5x5 arrangement. It features an .018-inch slot, 345Hk prescription, and APC II adhesive coating, providing a convenient format for orthodontic professionals performing direct bonding procedures. The low-profile design is intended to provide a compact bracket configuration that can support patient comfort and efficient clinical handling. A reduced bracket profile can help minimize the overall prominence of the appliance and may provide easier access during bonding, archwire placement, and routine orthodontic adjustments. The bracket geometry is designed for use as part of a comprehensive fixed orthodontic appliance system. The .018-inch slot is intended for use with compatible .018-inch orthodontic archwires and related components. The 345Hk designation identifies the specific prescription and hook configuration associated with the bracket model. The U/L 5x5 arrangement includes brackets for both the upper and lower arches, with five brackets per quadrant, providing a total of 20 brackets in the kit. APC II adhesive-coated technology provides orthodontic adhesive pre-applied to the bracket bonding base. This feature can simplify chairside preparation by reducing the need to dispense and manually apply separate adhesive to each bracket. The pre-coated format can support efficient handling and help streamline the bonding workflow. Clinicians should follow the manufacturer's instructions for activation, bracket positioning, excess adhesive removal, and light curing. Victory Series Low Profile Brackets are designed to support routine orthodontic mechanics while providing clinicians with a consistent bracket configuration. The prescription and hook arrangement allow the brackets to be incorporated into treatment plans requiring the specified orthodontic characteristics. Proper bracket selection and positioning should always be based on the individual patient's treatment requirements and the clinician's established protocol. For successful bonding, dental professionals should appropriately prepare the tooth surfaces, maintain suitable moisture control, position each bracket accurately, and cure the adhesive using compatible equipment according to the recommended procedure. Proper handling and use of associated orthodontic components are also important for supporting consistent treatment performance. Overall, the 3M Victory Series Low Profile Brackets Kit, 3024-102, provides 20 APC II adhesive-coated orthodontic brackets with an .018-inch slot, U/L 5x5 configuration, and 345Hk prescription. Its low-profile design, pre-coated adhesive delivery, and standardized bracket configuration make it a practical option for organized and efficient fixed orthodontic treatment.
