Nexus: Precision in Action

NEXUS^™ Metal

Strength in Design

Nexus Metal

Anatomically contoured base adheres to each tooth shape for long-term bond reliability.
Gingival opening with precision-channel clip release for quick and efficient wire changes.
Unique 4-rail system provides optimal sliding and reduced friction/binding.
Funnel-edge design naturally guides excess adhesive towards the incisal edge of the bracket, reducing flash for easier clean-up.

Bond Reliability

The anatomically contoured base of Nexus features patented hooked undercuts to provide 30% greater bond reliability than appliances with mesh pads*. Compare the cross-section SEMs of the Nexus bracket base (image #1) and the leading active SL mesh bracket base (image #2). SEMs were captured after adhesive was applied and light-cured (purple color added to adhesive for enhanced visibility).

Nexus pad base with hooked undercuts allows for deeper penetration of the adhesive for greater bond reliability.
The double mesh pad design of this SL bracket inhibits the flow of adhesive onto the base. The resulting uneven coverage may reduce bond strength.
