Practice Advantages
Not all self-ligating brackets are created equal. In-Ovation R
brackets were created to optimize the treatment process with
precision engineering and true straight wire design.
The In-Ovation orthodontic systems are the result of a keen
understanding of human physiology and orthodontic engineering.
The compound contoured base of the In-Ovation R bracket is
designed to provide a precise anatomical fit across the enamel
surface of the tooth. The smooth swept tie-wings are engineered
to minimize occlusal interference in order to increase patient
comfort. In addition, the chamfered archwire slot is designed to
reduce chair time by facilitating wire engagement and reducing
the chance of archwire binding or crimping. This dedication to
quality and attention to detail is infused into every product that
carries the In-Ovation name.

Patient Advantages
Today more than ever, patients are doing their part to
better understand the options available to them. Savvy
practices have come to recognize this as an opportunity,
enabling you to offer the benefits of self-ligation as an
adjunct to your talent, technique and reputation.
Comfort
Low-profile and
smooth surfaces
offer enhanced
patient comfort
In providing a self-ligating option, you’ll be able to
offer your patients less chair time, fewer appointments
and a cleaner, more esthetic appearance. In doing so,
you’ll be able to create a perceived (and potentially
significant) point of differentiation between your practice
and the other competing practices in the area.

In-Ovation R Dedication to Detail
True Twin Design – Occlusal and gingival
twin tie-wings offer an optimal mesial,
distal span for achieving superior
rotation control. The elimination of the
elastomeric ligatures increase your
inter-bracket distance.
Spring Clip – The self-ligating clip
extends fully through the vertical
channel in the bracket body,
enhancing the structural integrity of
the clip.
True Twin
Full Slot Slip Coverage – The In-Ovation R clip provides full
coverage across the entire slot for superior rotational
control. This allows the clip to interact with the wire both
on the mesial and distal, as needed, without the need for
auxiliaries.
Full Slot Slip Coverage
Easy Open Clip – The clip opens easily when pressure is applied occlusally to
the v-notched clip at the gingival side of the bracket, using the engage
R or similar instrument. The clip can be closed with an instrument or
simple finger pressure on the incisal curve.
Slot Blocker – A patented slot blocker prevents the archwire
from escaping from the slot and sliding up into the clip
engagement channel.
Easy Open Clip
Slot Blocker
Triple Chamfered Slot Walls – Slot walls are beveled outward, facilitating wire
engagement and reducing the chance of the archwire binding or crimping.

Straight Wire Technology
Straight Wire Technology – A true straight wire appliance is
one in which all the brackets have been designed to guide
the teeth into their ideal position with a preformed wire.
In-Ovation R is a true straight wire appliance that features
a compound contour base, torque in the base, programmed
in/out control and level slot alignment.
Disto-Gingival Dimple – A color code on the
disto-gingival tie-wing provides immediate
identification of the tooth for which the
bracket was designed.
Base Design
Disto-Gingival Dimple
Base Design – An 80 gauge single mesh,
compound contoured base provides a precise
anatomical fit. The Standard Palmer Notation
laser etched into the mesh facilitates bracket
management with a ready reference of the
quadrant, tooth and prescription.
Vertical Scribe Line – A scribe line on the bracket face
aids positioning by providing a convenient reference for
orienting the center line of the bracket with the facial
axis of the clinical crown (FACC).
Smooth Swept Tie-Wings – Smooth,
swept tie-wings help to reduce
occlusal interference while increasing
patient comfort. Adequate undercuts
allow easy anchoring for elastic
chains or the fastening of color ties
at the patient’s request.

In-Ovation Means Interactive
In-Ovation R provides you with the ability to
start and effectively finish your treatment with
one, simple system. Using the technique of your
choice, In-Ovation R enables you to maintain the
precise degree of control that you need for each
phase of your patient’s treatment. In-Ovation R’s
unique Interactive technology means you can
choose the degree of engagement between the
bracket and wire. It can be passive for leveling
and aligning, expressive where control is realized
and free-sliding is maintained, or active for
controlled, optimal finishing.
Interactive Control
Passive
Expressive
Active
Passive Phase – Small, round wires slide freely, initiating the tooth movement process as the archwire gently
levels the teeth and coaxes them into alignment.
Expressive Phase – Square or rectangular wires are gently seated into the base of the slot without contacting
the clip. Programming is expressed, rotations are corrected and space closures are completed.
Active Phase – Rectangular archwires extend beyond the slot to fully engage the clip, providing the active
control necessary for functional finishing, uprighting of the roots and adjusting the torque.
Part Art. Part Science. All Orthodontics.™
Control Across the Spectrum
Different shapes and sizes interact with the clip in unique ways. Whether sliding freely, sitting in, or
extending beyond the slot, In-Ovation’s interaction with archwires offer control in all phases.

True Straight Wire Design for Truly Predictable Outcomes
In-Ovation is a completely adjusted true straight wire appliance system that positions teeth at all
four dimensions: in/out, angulations, torque, and overcorrection. With this completely adjusted four
dimensional appliance system you will need no offset bends in the archwires to obtain an optimal
finish in most cases (if the brackets are optimally positioned on teeth).
In order to be considered a completely four dimensional appliance, the bracket must contain:
• Compound contour base
• Torque in base
• Proper in/out and anti-rotation
• Level slot alignment at the conclusion of appliance therapy
If any of these features is missing from a bracket design, even a case with perfect placement can
be compromised.
Compound Contour Base
The design of the appliances base must mirror the mesio-distal and occluso or inciso gingival
curvature of the crown of each tooth type. The base curvature must be the same or slightly more
curved than the tooth surface so that the bracket stem and slot are precisely positioned.
This allows the appliance to properly transmit the programmed activation.
Compound
Contour
Torque In The Base
A fundamental necessity for a
programmed appliance is torque in the
base, but this must be accompanied
by the correct base contouring or it
will not work properly. This allows the
slot point, the base point (middle of
the base) and the reference point on
the tooth to be on the same plane, a
necessity for proper tooth positioning
and level
slot alignment.

A Proper Finish Begins With a Proper Start
Perhaps the single-most-important phase of orthodontic treatment is proper bracket placement. Taking
time to achieve proper placement at the outset can help mitigate—or even eliminate—final archwire
bends and correction. What’s more, the importance of bracket placement is further emphasized given the
popularity of pre-programmed brackets and true straight wire appliances. Not only will correct placement
help cases to progress more-predictably, but it will also ensure treatment concludes on schedule.
Although intuitively simple, many orthodontic professionals
underestimate the inherent challenges in bracketing procedures.
In many ways, this is understandable. For one, there’s very little
published materials made specifically to teach ideal bracketing
techniques. In fact much of the difficulty in bracket placement
can be exacerbated by the lack of a single, cohesive school
of thought. Many individuals have been exposed to numerous
techniques over FAAC
the course of their career. An effort to achieve
Point
the benefits of all,FA
may
unfortunately lead to a scenario where the
clinician winds up inadvertently negating the inherent benefits of
a particular technique.

Molar Management
Traditional Molar tubes are essentially passive attachments. They have four rigid walls that create a tunnel for the archwire
to go through. Since molar tubes are generally wide in design (4 mm or more), they can control rotations and tip very well.
Also, there is typically no engaging force such as stainless or elastomeric ligatures pressing the wire onto the base of the
tube. Therefore an inherent problem with traditional tubes is the lack of torque they are able to express due to their passivity.
This passivity works very well in some stages of treatment mechanics, but torque expression can be very difficult to
achieve toward the end of the treatment. Orthodontists are aware of the clinical problems and have developed different
ways to manage the molars to obtain proper torque. (i.e TPA, Torquing wires, TADS etc) While these methods are viable,
they can be uncomfortable, time consuming, not reliable and or expensive. That is why DENTSPLY GAC offers Self–Ligating
buccal tubes as part of the In-Ovation system. Self-Ligating buccal tubes address the need for torque control by utilizing
the interactive technology of the In-Ovation system. Also, the SL clip makes wire changes involving hard to reach second
molars a simple procedure that takes only seconds.

Instruments
Sentalloy Wire System
DENTSPLY GAC offers a complete line
of instruments to use with In-Ovation R
brackets for every phase of treatment.
Sentalloy wires are the perfect complement to
the interactive technology built into In-Ovation
brackets. The wires are designed to deliver a gentle,
light continuous force; moving teeth without
dissipation of force and periodontal stress. The
“secret” to Sentalloy is its use of body temperature
to activate the characteristics inherent in the wire,
to give you superelasticity and shape memory
qualities during treatment.

Case Study 1
• 12-year-old female
• Deep bite
• Buccal crossbite of the right side
• Class II canines and crowding
• In-Ovation R appliance was used to level and align, parallel
maxillary and mandibular occlusal planes and provide
optimal buccal crown torque to the maxillary incisors
• Short Class II elastic were used at the working stage
• Treatment time: 25 months
Initial intraoral photos showing the severity of the deep bite, right side buccal crossbite and Class II canines. Notice the lack of inclination
of maxillary incisors. In order to level the mandibular occlusal plane, proper inclination of maxillary incisors must be achieved.
In-Ovation R appliance. Upper and lower .019” x .025” SS, lower arch with reverse curve of Spee and short Class II elastics. Parallelism
of upper and lower wire has been achieved. Notice proper inclination of maxillary incisors and level curve of Spee.
Finished case. Notice proper intercuspation, Class I molar and canine and proper overjet and overbite. Treatment time: 25 months
