IMTEC® ORTHO Implant
The IMTEC Ortho Implant offers fixed anchorage to assist the efficiency of your orthodontic treatment. Useful for space closure, tooth
uprighting, open bite correction, molar distalization, or a number of other applications, the Ortho Implant is a versatile temporary
anchorage device with both the doctor and the patient in mind.
Easy, Stable Installation
The self-tapping, thread forming design allows an installation procedure that can be done in one appointment and can be loaded with an
attachment immediately. Most uses do not require a pilot hole or stronger anesthetic than a topical application, so there are very few
installation steps. Choose from the straight Ortho Driver, the contra-angled LT Driver, the finger driver or the winged thumb wrench to
install the implant using the hand instrument that is most convenient for the implant's location and angle. Other features important to
installation:
- The square neck resides close to the center of the implant, assisting stable insertion.
- No part of the implant extends perpendicular to the direction of the implant, so there is nothing that can impinge with the tissue once placed.
- The thread of the implant is a modified buttress thread form, assisting the security of the implant's hold once placed.
Versatile Application
The three different implant lengths -- 6, 8 and 10mm -- allow multiple applications in different areas of the mouth. The curved head
offers a groove above the neck and two 0.030" holes for different attachment options. Other features important to application:
- The exclusive feature of the O-Cap helps prevent tissue overgrowth, has an attachment groove, and can be soldered for customized attachment needs.
- New to the system, the locking closed coil springs provide an easy attachment capability that locks into place once installed.
