About the product
Featuring a smooth radius surface and a low profile, 3M™ SmartClip™ SL3 Self Ligating Brackets are designed to give patients a shorter and more comfortable orthodontic treatment experience.

Product details
Transform smiles with clean, efficient brackets
Designed with patient hygiene in mind, 3M™ SmartClip™ SL3 Self Ligating Brackets feature an open slot concept to facilitate easy cleaning and reduce problems caused by plaque build up often associated with other ligation mechanisms. The torque in base improves finishing and the notched tie wings provide additional bicuspid identification and treatment flexibility. These orthodontic appliances for metal brackets are made with a true twin design and rhomboid shape to facilitate bonding and level slot line up, improving efficiency and resulting in less treatment time.
SmartClip SL3 Molar Brackets equip you to provide versatile treatment options for your patients with a complete 6x6 system of metal brackets. The small, low profile tie wings allow for enhanced treatment flexibility and the design accommodates either steel ligatures for lace backs and tie backs or AlastiK™ Ligature Modules. The maxillary 1st molar brackets incorporate the distal offset into the bracket base rather than into the slot, improving archwire retention during treatment. You can also use this system to create tandem archwires to assist in the leveling and alignment phase, get maximum control of the vertical, horizontal and rotational dimensions and to enable easy insertion of a rectangular archwire.
Explore the range of uncoated and 3M™ APC Pre-Coated brackets to transform your bonding procedures.
Note: The precoated adhesives are either translucent or pink (APC plus) and all adhesives become translucent once light cured.
