ELATION™ |
|
|
Introducing another new aesthetic
bracket, Elation is our exclusive metal and polymeric appliance that offers strength, beauty and safety. Elation combines polycarbonate with PET to create a
highly durable PC/PET body that is highly resistant to erosion and discolouration. Our metal insert is not a slot lining like competitive brackets; it is
placed within the bracket body to provide more bracket strength and a more aesthetic appearance. Elation has a mechanical base for sure bonding and debonding.
Elation - no other plastic and metal bracket achieves the same balance of good looks and great results.

Ovation |
 |
|
We are stunned at the number of original straight
wire appliance users that have changed to the GAC Ovation bracket since its launch. This trend has been duplicated Worldwide which makes Ovation one of GAC's
most successful product launches ever.
There is a new Ovation brochure now available that
will be an invaluable tool to help you appreciate Roth's principles, please contact us for your copy. |

Ovation Bands |
- Fully tested through years of development
- Soft contour and easy sizing make placement and adaptation simple
- Sizing 1-32 as 'A' Company band sizes ensures easy change over
- Strength matches Dr Roth's previous bands, and holds up well throughout treatment
- GAC's triple pulse welding process fuses tubes to the bands, resisting the tearing sometimes found with competitor products
|
|
"the obvious choice for 'A' Company
users"
GAC has applied superior engineering and quality
control to a band with the hardness, contour, tilt-angles and thickness of the former 'A' Company bands.
So now you can use your favourite type of band
again, enjoy swift delivery from UK held stocks and not have to pay a fortune for it!
As with all GAC bands, the New Ovation band
features Micro Etched interiors to increase bond strength, highly polished exteriors for maximum patient comfort and guaranteed weld strength for extra peace
of mind. They also have the clearest marking of any band on the market for easy identification.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snap-Fit™
Bands |
 |
|
Snap-Fit is one of the most popular bands in the
world and offers excellent elasticity and superior fit. Their anatomy provides an actual 'snap' over the crown for a fit that is unequalled by any competing
band. Plus, after fitting and removal, the band returns to its original size, assuring that the cemented band is as accurate as the initial fit. This feature,
combined with the micro-etched interior means you will experience fewer failures. All Snap-fit bands are marked using GAC's patented Electro Chemical Etching
to give the clearest marking of any band available. This permanent process withstands sterlization and does not weaken the integrity of the band or stain as do
laser identification processes. |
|
Ideal bands |
 |
|
If you prefer a 'softer' band, you will find Ideal
bands adapt to the contour of the tooth as they are positioned, whilst retaining an edge hardness to prevent the edges crushing as they are seated. They are
made from seamless stainless steel and are stretched minimally during contouring to assure greater strength. As with Snap-Fit bands the interiors are micro
etched for roughness to increase bond strength and sizes are Electro Chemically Etched to help identification. |

Bondable Tubes |
|
|
Metal Injection Moulded from GAC, these superior
quality buccal tubes offer the following:
-
Patented SuperMesh base for superior bond
strength
-
Smooth contour together with a low profile for
maximum comfort
-
Ball hooks which secure elastics and protect
the soft tissue
-
Wider opening for easier wire
insertion
|
 |
|
For those difficult to place 2nd molar tubes, why
not try our tubes with a dimple which makes positioning with a placer so much easier.

GAC PAKs™ - Hygienic Wire
Packaging |
 |
|
For years, everyone had to contend
with the possibility of cross contamination of wires stored in wire racks. Even with the greatest care, dispensing a wire without contaminating the others was
difficult.
GAC PAKs are not sterile but they
are intended to enhance clean storage and dispensing of each wire. Boxed in convenient packs of ten wires, our GAC PAK makes your practice more efficient, and
reassures your patients that you are giving them the height of care.
Our whole line of Sentalloy®,
BioForce® and stainless steel wires is now available in GAC PAKs at
no extra cost to your or your patients.

Sentalloy™ |
 |
|
Super Elastic Thermal Nickel
Titanium Wire
All NiTi wire is not the same. In fact a wire can
be NiTi without providing any real orthodontic benefit. In study after study, GAC's Sentalloy - the original, superelastic NiTi appliance system - has shown
consistent, predictable results with the following qualities:
Body Heat Activated
Not all thermal wires activate at body temperature
and therefore do not offer any real benefit.
Light near Constant Force
Providing the most efficient tooth movement of any
archwire available - anywhere! You can rest assured that Sentalloy continues to work consistently throughout treatment. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ovation
Sentalloy |
 |
|
One of the previous limitations that GAC Sentalloy
users faced was that there was one upper and one lower arch form for all patients. However, we are pleased to announce the introduction of our new GAC Ovation
Sentalloy archwires. With three scientifically designed arch forms for the upper and three for the lower, this should satisfy 85% or more of your patients'
needs without round-tripping or over expansion. |
 |
|
New Dimpled Option available |

|
Bioforce/Ionguard High Performance
NiTi |
Ovation plus Bioforce plus Ionguard equals all
round excellence. |
|
Along with Ovation Arch Forms' other innovations,
we've incorporated Bioforce with Ionguard. There is no other arch wire like this in the world. Obviously, it takes less force to move a small, single rooted
lower anterior than to move a large tri-rooted molar. We've created the ideal force along the arch wire to promote tooth movement without trauma. While the
force remains a near constant level at any one point, that level gradually increases from the lateral to the molar without any change in the diameter of the
wire. So now you have an edgewise/early treatment arch wire that will torque, level, and align simultaneously, unlike any archwire anywhere. The Ionguard makes
nickel reactions virtually impossible, dramatically lowers friction and eliminates breakage. |

|
Resolve Beta
Titanium |
 |
|
The best detailing wire available
These wires are processed in smaller batches for
greater consistency. They are then micro finished for smoother edges and reduced friction, while the long shape offers the ability to make more bends and
loops. Resolve contains no nickel that can cause allergic reactions in some patients. It can be used at any stage of treatment, but it is especially effective
where moderate forces are necessary for early torque control and final detailing. High springback and flexibility with lower forces and less breakage make
Resolve the new standard in Beta Titanium, only available from GAC. |

Sentalloy Coil
Springs |
 |
|
For the last decade GAC have provided a real
advancement in space management with Sentalloy Coil Springs. Available in a variety of forces and designs, no other coil springs exist that work quite like
Sentalloy springs do. Our closed coil springs have lasered eyelets to ensure against separation. They have the most constant force of any coils tested. They
are extremely hygienic, provide more efficient tooth movement and are compatible with all bracket systems. We are confident that you will notice the difference
immediately when you use Sentalloy open and closed coil springs over competing brands. |

stainless steel, GAC has created Ovation Instruments with high quality you can feel upon first grip.
