Ortho-Cycle's unique process

UNALTERED PROPERTIES  

          Unlike all other processes, Ortho-Cycle's is based upon the dissolution of the adhesive, and not its charring. Subjecting stainless steel to moderate heat (350-800^OC, 650-1500^OF) leads to the highly undesirable phenomenon of sensitization (chromium carbide separation followed by intergranular corrosion) as well as to the need of removing the dark layer of oxides formed.

CROSS-CONTAMINATION AND SAFETY

         Are brand-new orthodontic appliances or the silverware used in a restaurant ever sterilized? Our attachments are twice: once before processing and again just before shipping.  For decades, hospitals all over the world have been reusing single use only medical devices without major legal or clinical problems. These devices are by far more invasive and intrusive than orthodontic appliances. (more...)

IMPERFECT MODEL

 New attachments are not without problems. During the multiple inspections we perform, some attachments have to be removed because of improper manufacturing. (more...)

 

HIGH-TECH INSPECTION TEST DRIVEN

       Not only the defective attachments, but also the corrosion riddled or prone ones are eliminated.(more...)

 

ENVIRONMENT

     Reuse is politically correct. As time passes, reducing waste will become more important. The more advanced a civilization is, the more it recycles. (more...)
