Delta Force

The Delta Force Bracket System incorporates a unique design that allows the orthodontic practitioner the ability to control the friction between the archwire, bracket and elastic ligature. By varying the ligature placement, the doctor more fully controls his method of sliding mechanics. Friction can be easily increased or decreased to facilitate the doctor's treatment plan

  • Centered Scribe Line: For accurate bracket placement.
  • Triple Occlusal Tie Wings on Stainless Steel: For maximum Rotational control.
  • Center Wing on Stainless Steel: For low friction mechanics
  • Stainless Steel Micro-Etched Grip-LOK Base: For maximum retention.
  • Beveled Slot: For easier archwire placement
  • Smooth Radiused Ball Hook: To facilitate elastic placement
  • Extended Wings: To Support Ligature Ties
  • Single Gingival Tie Wing: Maximizes archwire expression.

Each bracket has three reference points for fast accurate placement. A center scribe line aligns with the long axis of the clinical crown. The archwire slot and occlusal base line up with the occlusal tooth surface.


The reduced mesio-distal width of the gingival tie wing allows the practitioner to easily flex the archwire into bracket slots. Many times a rectangular wire can be placed sooner to achieve torque control earlier in treatment.


Free Sliding Retraction (Minimum)

Tie the ligature on the center occlusal tie wing for minimum friction and improved sliding mechanics.


Leveling and Aligning Ligation ( Medium)

Use a standard ligation leveling and aligning.


Finishing Ligation (Maximum)

Tie the ligature to lock the archwire in for tip, torque and rotation control (wire tie for full expression).
