scrapbook Ortho Tribune U.S. Edition | May 17, 20154 AAO product scrapbook Here is a look at some of the products you’ll want to check out in the exhibit hall Esprit, Class II corrector Esprit, a Class II corrector, brings a variety of unique features, including a CNC-machined body that is smooth and durable and a new, innovative, patented clip. The clip is guaranteed to be easy to install and remove, and it stays in place without disengaging during treatment. Esprit also features a mesial hook that prevents rolling into the occlusion. The hook is smooth for patient comfort and can be removed with ease — no cutting required. Esprit’s enclosed stainless-steel spring prevents painful pinching and unhygienic trapping of food. This enclosed spring also resists deformation and maintains consistent force throughout the patient’s wear. The entire corrector is laser welded, allowing it to withstand even the toughest treatment from any patient — 100 percent guaranteed.
