The P R O PLUS System
The New Way of Moving Teeth using only Ultra-light forces.
The unique features of the PRO Plus Ultra-Light force bracket.
Angled bracket slots to markedly reduce Elastic Binding.
Extended gingival tie wing for CL II or CL III elastics without the need for hooks.
Deep tunnel for maximum rotational and tip control.
Each bracket is laser marked on the bonding surface for identification.
No coloured markings on the labial surfaces required.
.
All PRO PLUS brackets have extended gingival tie wings in the buccal segments for elastic engagement.
Note how well the CL II elastics engage on the extended gingival tie wings of the upper 3’s without the need for hooks.
And similarly CL III elastics.
Introducing the A2+ ceramic filled resin brackets.
Salient features:
- Unique identification and orientation features of brackets without colour indicators
- Extended gingival tie wings on 3,4 & 5 for elastic engagement without hooks
- Over 40% increase in strength vs previous generation clear brackets
- Opaque A2 colour prevents lodged food particles being visible
- Only 4 different slot designs. UR 3/4/5 = LL 3/4/5, UR 1/2 = LL 1/2 and visa versa
Similarly the 1 & 2 brackets also have unique orientation features.
Similarly the 1 & 2 brackets also have unique orientation features.
Still ONLY 4 different slot designs. UR 3/4/5 = LL 3/4/5, UR 1/2 = LL 1/2 and visa versa.
Seamless bonding, arch wire engagement and CL II elastic placement.
As a result of the specific slot design the P R O PLUS system delivers the lightest forces in all of modern day orthodontics due to the massively increased inter-bracket distance. (See publication)
All final rotational control and root uprighting is done using .014 sectional NiTi wires placed in the deep tunnel behind the main arch wire.
Revolutionary new approach to tooth movement.
4 Totally unique Bio mechanical advantages facilitating ease of tooth movement in ALL 3 planes of space using ultra-light forces ONLY.
The 4 unique BIO MECHANICAL features of the P R O PLUS system
The P R O PLUS system has only minimal ELASTIC BINDING (Proffit JCO 2008 & Burrow & Proffit JCO 2013).
ELASTIC BINDING explained
In the mouth, as soon as a tooth moves, binding will occur between the edges of the bracket slot and the arch wire.
ALL edgewise brackets
movement.
Binding will ALWAYS occur when a Force is applied – eg CL II elastic.
By contrast…
The PRO Plus bracket
NO BINDING between the Arch Wire and the corners of the bracket during retraction allowing for ONLY Ultra-Light forces required for ALL tooth movement.
Clinical example 1
A CL II case with 6mm of crowding treated non extraction using only ultra-light forces and round arch wires.
With excellent control of lower incisor position in the alveolar bone.
Clinical example 2
A CL II malocclusion with an 8mm OJ in an adult patient treated with upper 5’s extraction and only 50gr of CL II elastic force without losing anchorage in the lower arch.
With excellent control of lower incisor position in the alveolar bone.
The P R O PLUS system has Zero CUSPID INTRUSION NEGATING EFFECT. (C I N É) (Mulligan J C O 2009)
CUSPID INTRUSION NEGATING EFFECT (C I N É) explained.
According to Mulligan ALL conventional Edgewise brackets on upper 3’s WILL ALWAYS prevent bite opening by incisor intrusion due to Cuspid Intrusion Negating Effect.
Showing rapid opening of a deep bite by incisor intrusion and simultaneously producing torque in the upper anterior area using round arch wires.

After only 10 Months
The unique BIO MECHANICAL features of P R O PLUS Orthodontics.
The P R O PLUS system has MAXIMUM BUCCAL EFFECT.
(Mulligan J C O 2009)
BUCCAL EFFECT explained
“A Curve of Spee placed in a round (not rectangular) arch wire will cause spontaneous distalization of buccal segments without rectangular bracket slots on 3,4 and 5 hindering the movement.”
(Mulligan J C O 2009)
Empirical proof of Cl II correction and overjet reduction in an adult patient using only 50gr CL II elastics due to MAXIMUM BUCCAL EFFECT.
Clinical example 4
WITHOUT advancing the lower incisors in spite of 7mm of pre Rx crowding in the lower arch.
The unique BIO MECHANICAL features of P R O PLUS Orthodontics.
The PRO PLUS system allows for passive buccal expansion using only ultra-light forces. (See publication)
Clinical example 5
A CL I malocclusion in an adult patient with 15mm of pre Rx crowding treated non extraction using passive expansion and only ultra-light forces.
Showing great control of lower incisor position despite resolving 15mm of crowding.
Imagine…
- Treating CL II cases Non extraction using only 50 gr of elastic force without the need for distalizing appliances or T A D S for anchorage. (Example 1)
- Extracting 5’s instead of 4’s in even maximum anchorage cases. (Example 2)
- Opening deep bites rapidly by incisor intrusion using .016 round arch wires. (Example 3)
- Controlling torque in the upper incisor area with round wires without an array of usually encountered side effects including root resorption.(Example 3)
- Never using R M E, M A R P E or S A R P E for expansion even in adult cases. (Example 4)
- Achieving all expansion using only Ultra-Light forces leading to the highest non extraction rate possible. (Example 4)
- Only using 3 sets of ROUND arch wires to treat ALL cases.
- Only minimum change to current way of thinking required to convert to the P R O PLUS system.
Why does it sound to good to be true?
