Optimesh®XRT

With Optimesh XRT, Ormco has once again redefined the standards of the optimal direct bond. Optimesh XRT incorporates our popular Mini Diamond® bracket series and Peerless® and Accent® buccal tubes with a specially treated bonding pad that enhances bond strength by 35% and minimizes cleanup at debonding.

SEM photographs show a comparison of untreated mesh and Optimesh XRT. The Optimesh XRT coating not only dramatically increases available bonding surfaces, but also enhances the undercuts in the mesh, a critical factor in increasing adhesive-to-mesh bond strength.
