industry Ortho Tribune U.S. Edition | NESO & PCSO 2016 8 Ad By G&H Orthodontics Staff G &H Orthodontics, which says it is recognized as one of the world’s best manufacturers of pre- mium archwires, intro- duces TitanMoly™ Tita- nium Molybdenum arch wires. According to the company, TitanMoly’s greatest advantage for orthodontists is the easier and faster archwire sequenc- ing, which can reduce treatment times and patient discomfort. “Orthodontists recognize our smooth- er wire,” Brandon Bernacchi, vice presi- dent of manufacturing, said. “The state- of-the-art diamond drawing process we use when combined with our propri- etary mechanical polishing technology ensures a smoother surface for improved sliding mechanics and a more attractive finish. It’s important to note that inde- pendent laboratory tests have validated this comparison for G&H.” Orthodontist Kristine S. West, DDS, MS, said that, “TitanMoly is the most effec- tive titanium molybdenum archwire I have found. It is easily adaptable without breakage and enhances my treatment plans.” According to the company, TitanMoly is the perfect bendable, nickel-free wire. It has enough recovery force and bend- ability without breaking. It is the pre- ferred wire over stainless steel for a wide range of cases. Using TitanMoly means clinicians will have nearly twice the working range of stainless-steel wires, with 45 percent less deflection recovery force than stainless steel. TitanMoly is a great wire for nickel sensitive patients because it contains no nickel, the company states.

Fine, DMD. “TitanMoly wires offer all the advantages plus reduced friction.” About G&H Orthodontics G&H Orthodontics is a leading provider of clinical solutions for the orthodontic community, serving customers for more than 41 years in more than 90 countries.

Introducing TitanMoly Titanium Molybdenum arch wires “ SKIP, Page 6 using Assure or Assure Plus. On top of all the artificial surface bonding capabilities above, the variable reducing properties on enamel are the reason offices with the lowest bond failure rates utilize Assure Plus as a full-time, everyday primer, ac- cording to Reliance. There are only two cases where any etching step is necessary: amalgam or composite restorations. Clinicians need to eliminate the idea that phosphoric acid will simply “clean” the work surface. The reasons are two-fold: chairside effi- ciency and primer interference. If there is no enamel present, etching is a waste of time and money. Furthermore, etching can be detrimental to the bond- ing process when bonding to zirconia. If phosphoric acid is applied to a zirconia crown to “clean the surface,” the phos- phate ions will attach to the substrate and subsequently repel the primers.
