Peerless Cast Buccal Tubes

Peerless® Cast Buccal Tubes Peerless cast tubes are 20% smaller than competitive alternatives. Ormco’s advanced casting technology delivers not only increased strength, but also produces smaller precision tubes to increase clinical efficiency and patient comfort. Both occlusal interference and gingival impingement are reduced and hygiene is improved. Increased arch length between first and second molars facilitates engagement in terminal tube.

Peerless Combination

Peerless Single

Integrally cast hook stays on after conversion for convenient elastic use. No sharp edges, strong and malleable. Designed to minimize tissue impingement.
Flush-seated cap provides a smooth buccal surface. Lightly brazed so it won’t convert unintentionally, yet easily removable with Ormco’s simple cap tool.
Headgear extends distally by .020 to aid tie-back.
Trumpeted headgear tube aids facebow insertion.
Reduced weld flanges allow better attachment to band, preserving band anatomy for better fit and retention to tooth.
Chamfered archwire entry for easy access.
Generous under-tie-wing area for easy ligation. Anatomical tie-wing improves cusp clearance.
Unique occlusal shelf reduces interference.
Chamfered archwire entry for easy access.

Optimesh®XRT

With Optimesh XRT, Ormco has once again redefined the standards of the optimal direct bond. Optimesh XRT incorporates our popular Mini Diamond® bracket series and Peerless® and Accent® buccal tubes with a specially treated bonding pad that enhances bond strength by 35% and minimizes cleanup at debonding.

SEM photographs show a comparison of untreated mesh and Optimesh XRT. The Optimesh XRT coating not only dramatically increases available bonding surfaces, but also enhances the undercuts in the mesh, a critical factor in increasing adhesive-to-mesh bond strength.
