As an orthodontist,

Robotically Formed Arch Wires

I felt that the

Anterior Positioning Jigs

HARMONY System
should adapt to the
treatment philosophy
of every clinician,
providing doctors with
the ability to design each
case to meet their
individual treatment goals.
After successfully treating
more than 1,000 cases with the
HARMONY System, doctors have
discovered just how easy lingual
orthodontics can be when using
advanced CAD/CAM and precision
wire bending technologies.

REDUCED CHAIR TIME

Self ligation technology
combined with pre-formed
arch wires enables quicker
and easier wire changes.

EFFICIENCY
Using self ligating clips instead
of ligatures that tend to lose
effectiveness over time may allow
DURING TREATMENT:

The interactive clip gently and

comfortably guides the tooth to
its ideal position

for longer duration between visits.

DEPENDABLE TREATMENT
The combination of precision manufactured
self ligating brackets and robotically formed

FINAL PHASE:

arch wires leads to highly predictable outcomes.

Fully active clip for finishing with optimal

control in all three dimensions

CUSTOMIZED BONDING PADS

BONDING ACCURACY

Using proprietary digital scanning and CAD/CAM technologies, a highly accurate bonding pad
is created for the lingual surface of each tooth. The slot of each bracket is positioned ideally
on each tooth using a customized adapter.

Anterior positioning jigs are provided with every HARMONY case, which provide
a mechanical guide for bonding anterior teeth that are unable to be bonded at
the beginning of treatment or require rebonding during treatment.

TYPES OF HARMONY ARCH WIRE

HARMONY offers three options for customizing the

arch wires and the in/out dimensions of the appliances.

Nickel Titanium
Stainless Steel

Beta Titanium

Compensation in the Wire

Arch wires are adapted as close to the tooth as possible.
A small in/out dimension on every tooth adds more
bends to the wire, but maximizes patient comfort.

ROBOTICALLY
FORMED ARCH WIRES
HARMONY delivers predictable outcomes and
efficient treatment mechanics using digitally customized
self ligating brackets and arch wires. Doctor defined
specifications and proprietary technology are used
to produce a series of robotically formed arch wires
tailored to each patient.

Compensation in the Bracket

In/out dimensions are increased on some teeth to form
an arch wire with minimal bends, which improves sliding
mechanics.

HARMONY Optimized
Harmony balances the compensation between the wires
and brackets to optimize patient comfort.
