Comparision of Bracket Sizes

COMMENTS:
1. EconoRoth is a medium size bracket with all Roth features. This bracket has been popular since 1985 because it is easy to place and provides excellent control. Most patients do not like its relatively large size.
2. Roth Slender, MBT Standard, Mini Roth and Mini MBT, and Ultimate Roth and Ultimate MBT are “Low Profile” brackets. As you can see on the above chart, these new Ultimate “Low Profile” brackets are 40% narrower and also 40% flatter when  compared to EconoRoth. Due to advances in metallurgy, all these Low Profile brackets can be manufactured significantly smaller and thinner while still providing all prescription features. Patients definitely prefer these smaller and more comfortable brackets.
3. Ultimate Roth and Ultimate MBT have become our most popular brackets, preferred by both
doctors and patients.

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Low Profile brackets make up over 98% of our sales. After deciding between Roth or MBT prescriptions, the choice is among the Standard “Low Profile” brackets, the Mini “Low Profile” brackets, or the Ultimate “Low Profile” brackets.
2. As you can see on the above chart the Standard and Mini Upper Centrals, Laterals and Cuspids are almost identical in size. But the Ultimate are significantly smaller and an even lower profile. We can not produce brackets any smaller than the Ultimate and still retain the features.
3. The differences between the Standard and Mini “Low Profile” brackets are in the Lower Incisors and the Bicuspids. The Mini Incisors are 25% narrower than the Standard Incisors and about 20% flatter making them easier to place on deep bites and very small teeth. The Mini Bicuspids are 10% less in height making them much easier to place on short bicuspids. But the Ultimate are even 20% smaller and a much lower profile than any others and therefore have become our BEST SELLERS!
