104TechniquesThe GianellyBidimensional SystemThe Gianelly Bidimensional prescriptionincorporates vertically slotted .018 brackets onthe upper/lower centrals and laterals as well asvertically slotted .022 brackets on the upper/lower cuspids and premolars.Dr. Anthony Gianelly“Evidence is an absolutely essential allybecause it directs us to selecting correctstrategies for our patients”

Advantages of the Gianelly Bidimensional SystemThe GianellyBidimensional System• By using .018 slot brackets on the anterior teeth, arch wire slots are easily filled with rectangular wires, maximizingthe torque and angulation pre-programmed into the Gianelly System.105Techniques• Early use of rectangular wires in an .018 slot allows early torque control of anterior teeth during the retractionphase of treatment.• Early use of rectangular wires in an .018 slot provides torque control for maintaining overbite and overjet throughouttreatment.• Using .022 slot brackets on the cuspids and premolars combined with small dimensional arch wires, allow for lessfrictional resistance, resulting in efficient and predictable retraction and space closure.• Wires limited by the .018 slot capacity result in less force and greater patient comfort.• Vertical slots built into the Gianelly System allow for the use of single-tooth mechanics auxiliaries, such as rotationsprings, uprighting springs, and torquing springs. Power pins and power arms add to the versatility of the GianellySystem, largely eliminating the need for hooks in the bracket prescription.The Gianelly Bidimensional SystemMaxillary Torque Angulation Rotation SlotCentral +12 +5 0 .018Lateral +8 +9 0 .018Cuspid 0 +7 0 .0221st & 2nd Premolars 0 0 0 .0221st Molar 0 0 14 .0222nd Molar 0 0 5 .022Mandibular Torque Angulation Rotation SlotAnteriors 0 0 0 .018Cuspid 0 +5 0 .0221st & 2nd Premolars 0 0 0 .0221st & 2nd Molar 0 0 0 .022.018 slot.022 slotBidimensional Technique.018 slot brackets are placed on central and lateral incisors.022 slot brackets/tubes are placed on cuspids, premolars, and molars800.558.7687 | 920.457.5051

106TechniquesEmpowerControl in your handsUnprecedented Bidimensional versatilityIntroducing the industry’s first vertical slot self ligating bracket system that empowers the orthodontist with theversatility of both passive and interactive ligation clips - all in one unified system. Empower combines the modernadvantages of a self ligating bracket with the time-tested and proven Gianelly prescription and auxiliaries.®Anterior Teeth: .018 Interactive Clip• Low friction sliding mechanics early in treatment using small wire dimensions• Enhanced control of torque and rotations during finishing phaseusing larger rectangular wiresPosterior Teeth: .022 Passive Clip• Low friction sliding mechanics at the posterior throughout treatmentDual Activation:Combines interactive and passive clip designs foranterior control with posterior sliding mechanicsStrong, durable clip fordependable performanceExtended tie wings for easytie-ability and differential tyingFacial hole adds opening optionswhen clip tail is inaccessibleComing soonSmooth, rounded contours forexceptional patient comfortVertical slot bracket systemCompound-contoured MaximumRetention TM pads for worry-freebond strength.018 x .018Vertical slotCentered mesial-distally for traditional mechanicsusing v-slot auxiliaries.

MINITMmasterSERIESThere is one vertically slotted system so technologicallyadvanced, it marches in harmony with your clinical expertise,allowing you to treat each patient to your standardof excellence. The visually intuitive design of MasterSeries, with its revolutionary combination of DiagonalTorque and Diagonal Angulation, dramatically increasesbonding precision, which is so important in the GianellySystem, leading directly to exceptional results with fewerwire bends.The GianellyBidimensional SystemNot all brackets are created equal107TechniquesRevolutionaryBonding PadTechnologyPhoto-chemically etched pocketsincrease pad surface area by 41%,creating a greater mechanical lock.Diagonal Torque reduces theprofile height of vertical slotbrackets, minimizing occlusalinterferencesTMmrMAXIMUM RETENTION80 gauge mesh provides upto 40% greater shear bondstrength than 100 gauge meshusing today’s macro-filledresins. 1.018 x .018 Vertical slotDiagonal TorqueMini Master Series brackets incorporate Diagonal Torque into theirdesign as opposed to torque machined into the face or wedged intothe base. Diagonal Torque keeps the center of the arch slot over thecenter of the base providing a more predictable expression of torque,while allowing for the lowest profile height possible.1S. Scott, E.M. Kudlick, and F.C. Eichmiller,“Bond Strength of a Macrofilled Resin Utilizing80/100 Gauged Bases”, Howard UniversitySchool of Dentistry, 1992.Diagonal AngulationAngulation is designed into each Mini Master Seriesbracket and pad, not milled into the face of the bracket.All horizontal components are parallel to the occlusalplane, all vertical components are parallel to the longaxis of the tooth. These visual cues enhance your abilityto precisely bond each bracket in the ideal location.See Metal Brackets section of this catalog for part numbers.800.558.7687 | 920.457.5051
