Metal orthodontic bracket Nu-Edge® Cobalt Chromium

Nu-Edge® Cobalt Chromium Brackets Setting the standard for metal brackets. Stronger CoCr alloy material. Lower friction. Superior biocompatibility. Stronger material. Lower friction. Superior compatibility. Nu-Edge Cobalt Chromium Brackets set the standard for all metal brackets, with friction levels lower than stainless steel brackets of similar design1. Nu-Edge brackets are the first orthodontic appliance to be made of cobalt chromium (CoCr), which provides several advantages over stainless steel. Setting new standards for low friction Nu-Edge Brackets set the standard for all metal brackets by providing the following: Reduced friction – Using CoCr provides increased surface hardness, reducing friction forces, which are influenced by surface roughness and hardness. CoCr also prevents archwire slot collapse due to occlusal stress. Cast vs. machined – Nu-Edge Brackets are cast rather than machined or milled. This produces an exceptionally smooth, precise archwire slot that further enhances the low-friction properties. Nickel free – Nu-Edge Brackets are 99.9% nickel-free for sensitive patients, giving you a worry-free, biocompatible treatment option for your nickel-sensitive patients. Corrosion resistant – The CoCr alloy is naturally moisture-resistant. Vertical slot Some prescriptions are available with vertical slots that accept auxiliaries up to 0.46mm (.018″). Recommended auxiliaries are power pins, rotating springs and individual root torquing auxiliaries. Nu-Edge Cobalt Chromium Brackets are available in MBT, Roth, High Torque 0.56mm (.022″) and BioTech.
