Smart Clips by 3M

Self ligating appliance system designed to hold arch wires in place without ligatures (the small elastics that typically hold arch wires in place). This advanced technology means reduced chair time and because the SmartClip™ Appliance System is passive, friction is dramatically reduced which can result in longer appointment intervals and less patient discomfort. Hygiene may be improved as well, because there are no tiny enclosed areas where plaque can build up, as with ligatures.
