At the heart of Brava® braces is the Brava+ System, which is more than a variation on traditional braces and aligners. It’s a biomechanical breakthrough. Brava shares nothing in common with lingual orthodontic systems of the past that were limited by a single archwire sliding over uneven lingual tooth surfaces. 

The Brava+ System uses Independent Movers® technology to direct tooth movement in all directions including torque from the first day of treatment. And unlike aligners, Brava works 24 hours a day regardless of patient compliance.

From the moment of insertion, each tooth is directed towards its final position using Brava’s pre-programmed flexible arms, which are made from NiTi shape-memory materials. The unique engineering of Brava moves teeth over long distances in all 6 degrees of freedom – all at once. Brava can also expand the arch to create space and can level the curve of Spee – all from the lingual side of the teeth.

Brava features an anchorage base that rests 1mm above the soft tissue during treatment. This base provides a stable platform from which all flexible, pre-programmed arms extend.  

At the end of each flexible arm is a clasp designed to fit snugly with its corresponding self-engaging bracket. Once engaged, the flexible arm directs tooth movement with precision in all six degrees of freedom

Predictable tooth movement begins with easy-to-use indirect bonding trays. IDB trays come pre-loaded with self-engaging brackets and can easily be modified to rebond brackets mid-treatment when needed.  

Each case includes a detailed Treatment Plan Summary showing the clinical conditions to treat, the IPR values to resolve, and special instructions from our clinical experts. Printed treatment guides are also provided to assist orthodontic teams with easy access to information that helps to resolve clinical questions and schedule office visits efficiently.
