Characteristics of CLIPPY
* Flexible control of tooth movement
CLIPPY’s distinguishing quality is that appropriate wire and bracket engagement levels can be chosen according to treatment stages. A flexible control of tooth movement results in enhanced effect in shorter time and reduced patient burden.
* Realization of orthodontic treatment with enhanced beauty
CLIPPY comes in two types that realize orthodontic treatment with enhanced beauty; a small metal bracket with an impression of simplicity and a ceramic bracket with appealing translucency.
* Easy and smooth wire exchange
Use of an interactive clip that can be easily opened/closed makes wire exchange easy and smooth. The other advantages include easy oral hygiene care and reduced medical waste, thanks to ligation without the need of a ligature wire or module.
* Enriched mechanism
CLIPPY uses mechanism that fully utilizes TOMY’s technology, such as a mechanical lock base* that does not require a particular adhesive, and a rhodium-coated clip* that can be opened and closed from the front as well as the gingival side.
Enabling Treatment According to Three Stages
CLIPPY is classified into three stages: passive, interactive, and active, regarding wire and bracket engagement levels. Appropriate treatment can be conducted by choosing stages according to respective levels, from the initial stage to the final stage of treatment.
