Bracket systems used in my office Straight Wire: I use these brackets for simple alignments. Tip-Edge: I like this bracket system for correcting deep overbites and overjets, as well as most of my extraction cases. TNL brackets: I have been using for all my under-bite (Class III) cases because of how easy it is to create labial torque plus my adult cases. These patients often need a lot of de-rotation and I can create a lot of constant light coupling force with these brackets.
