The Avair SL® bracket is the only one-piece self-ligating bracket. The wire retention clip is in the bracket body and the whole bracket is functioning to support the clip. Just click in the wire – no mechanical parts to move.

how to correctly seat wiresThe wire director has a seating bar and notched edges for easy placement.Place the seating end directly in front of the bracket so the wires are in the notches.Apply gentle pressure against the wire until you hear or feel the “click.”

Unseating archwiresFirst remove any ligatures that may be in place.Place a straight instrument (like a ligature director) under the archwire just distal or mesial to the bracket and lift the wire out of the slot. It will come out in the opposite way it went in.

AdvAnTAGeS in innOvATiOnAvair SL® brackets are made

from a proprietary biocompatible material with a small amount of polycrystalline alumina for increased strength. The material and the manufacturing process for Avair SL® represents an advanced state of technology, art, and science. The brackets are clear and nearly invisible on the teeth.

The material of the Avair SL® bracket won’t deform during treatment. Avair SL® delivers orthodontic forces without the brittle and abrasive characteristics of sapphire or ceramic.

Avair SL® brackets are formed in a unique manner which incorporates the clip as one piece with the bracket giving it strength and eliminating the need to add or remove parts.

With proper hygiene, Avair SL® brackets will remain clean and nearly invisible.

mechAnicAL LOckinG bASeThe Avair SL® brackets feature a mechanical locking base with

micro-etching and additional undercuts for improved bond strength. There is no need for any additional coating or silane. Shear Test results are available at www.nexadental.com/AvairSL or use your Smart Phone to scan the QR code on the back of this booklet to be taken directly to the web site.

bOndinG And debOndinGAvair SL® brackets are easily bonded to and removed from

teeth. For best results in bonding, we recommend using ORAPRO® Light Cure or No Mix Adhesives.

When debonding Avair SL®, we recommend the Aesthetic Debonding instrument. This instrument grips the entire bracket firmly at the bracket and tooth interface to ensure a clean, smooth removal without breaking or shattering. This allows you to reposition brackets if necessary.

help to position the bracket on the long axis of the tooth.

ARchwiRe SeqUenceAvair SL® brackets utilize the benefits of lighter forces and

ultra-low friction. For best treatment results, we recommend using NEXADENTAL Vision NiTi and Thermal Flex Heat-Activated NiTi arch wires. STAGe 1 iniTiAL
