OrthoForm™ Arch Form Selection

The great deal of variation that exists in the human arch form has spurred a persistent search for the ideal arch form for human dentition, for over a century. On the contrary, changes to the arch form during treatment could result in instability and subsequent relapse, contradicting this search for the ideal arch form.

The OrthoForm™ Arch Form Selection from 3M Unitek is the ideal answer to this quest - offering three distinct arch forms that reconcile the variation in anterior curvature, inter-cuspid width, inter-molar width and the curvature from the cuspid to the second molars.

OrthoForm™ I Tapered Arch Form
OrthoForm I Tapered Arch Form offers the narrowest inter-cuspid width and is indicated in patients with narrow, tapered arch forms.

OrthoForm™ II Square Arch Form
OrthoForm II Square Anatomical Arch Form is designed to suit the varying bracket base thickness of pre-adjusted appliances, and features a broad anterior segment and a lingual curved distal segment.

OrthoForm™ III Ovoid Arch Form
When used with settling and retention procedures, the OrthoForm III Ovoid Arch Form minimizes post-treatment relapse.

All three arch forms from the OrthoForm™ Arch Form Selection complement the MBT™ Appliance System Treatment Philosophy.
