We CLEAN, INSPECT, SORT and DECONTAMINATE used attachments, and we may BUY them.
We also SELL the processed ones.
We treat Orthodontic Appliances Differently

Every one of FDA’s guidelines are respected:

"Substantially equivalent to the legally marketed devices"
(FDA, Nov. 27, 1991)

 Like new!


       The attachments are decontaminated. (Not once, but twice: first, in the process of removing the adhesive, when everything organic is breaking up, and then autoclaved just before mailing)
Twice decontaminated

       Their physical properties are maintained. (The adhesive is removed by dissolution, and not by charring). "Ortho-Cycle's method does not alter the mechanical properties of the bracket metal, and would be considered the most desirable method "       ( D.L. Buchman, A.J.O./ D.O. 1980; 77: 654-668 ). "The only safe way for bracket reconditioning is to remove the adhesive chemically (Ortho-Cycle's system)" . (F. V. Tenti, "Atlas of Orthodontic Appliances, Fixed and Removable", Caravel, Genova, 1986, p.305). "After trying several companies, we selected the reconditioning services of Ortho-Cycle... After exploratory screening was performed, a real-life test using similar criteria was extended for three recycle uses involving 100 cases of GAC brackets. All the reconditioning has been performed by Ortho-Cycle Co...
        Ortho-Cycle's reconditioned appliances last "in vivo" at least three cycles... For the average clinician, the repeated use of delicate appliances demonstrates that with proper reconditioning, it is possible not only to save, but also to achieve a performance similar to that of the new brackets" (A. Buchwald, A.J.O. /D.O. 1989; 95: 352-354).
No metal softening

No adhesive burn-off - just dissolution

No electro-polishing
...most don’t need it!

Thorough checking, sorting and displaying for easy pick-up
       They are safe and effective. "Not a single case in court has been filled against the orthodontic pracitioners who are using recycled appliances. The use of recycled brackets can be incorporated in the orthodontic offices" (D.E. Machen A.J.O./D.O. 1993; 104: 618).
Safe and
effective


       Their quality is faultless. "The quality of your recycling and sorting procedures have been faultless. After sending several thousand brackets to you, I would have expected (and accepted) that at least one or two may have been less than perfectly cleaned and sorted, but to my utter amazement, this has not occurred. As claimed in your magazine, I have experienced more problems with new brackets straight from the manufacturer than those received from your factory. Your charges have been reasonable, even taking our exchange rates in consideration, and billing procedures simple and effective. Goods have been received on time, every time. Many companies these days make bold statements about their goods and services, but fall short in actual delivery. Your company must hold something of a unique position in this regard..."
