Despite this, the designs, and features that the brackets presented were always the same and limited. The history of great ideas is vast, but they needed to be united in one piece. This is what the authors of this article have done, when developing a new bracket design that features two central slots and each with different dimensions, one slot has dimensions of 0.018” X 0.030” and the other 0.022” X 0.028” with this a lot of possibilities are being opened. From now on, there is a work tool with several resources, which generates great benefits for professionals and patients and that is gaining more and more followers every day.
