Tie Less. Control More. Whether you treat with conventional twins or self-ligating brackets, the SnapLink re-convertible tube helps you gain more control and treat patients more efficiently. Each tie-less, low-friction SnapLink tube makes wire changes and posterior tooth movement snap. As a result, patients will experience shorter appointments and more comfortable treatments.
When it's time to engage second molars, clinicians universally understand the inconvenience of convertible buccal tubes. They often require frequent tying of ligatures — or even downsizing to a smaller wire. That can be labor intensive and mean longer appointments. Meanwhile, the loss of a traditional four-walled tube creates binding and friction in the posterior region, which can result in less efficient tooth movement and extended treatment time.
But the tie-less, low-friction SnapLink tube makes wire changes and posterior tooth movement a snap. SnapLink provides the exact functionality of a traditional four-walled tube without any unwanted friction or binding. With SnapLink, it's easy to engage second molars, even when making compensating archwire bends or loops. And placement of auxiliaries like wire-to-wire Class II appliances can be performed without removing wires.
That means shorter appointments for you and faster, more comfortable treatment for your patients.
With the dual-sided SnapLink Opening/Closing Instrument, wire appointments are more efficient than ever.
Simply insert the flat end of the opening instrument into the slide release cavity and twist 90°. The tube, not the patient's tooth, absorbs the forces.
Position the grooved tines of the instrument on either side of the slot and engage the archwire. Gently squeeze the opposing prong of the instrument and listen for the audible click to confirm the slide is closed.
