Catalog excerpts

LETTER FROM C.E.O. ROLF HAGELGANZ Dear Doctor and Staff: Welcome to the 11th edition of our catalog. Each and every year we continue to evolve and expand in one fashion or another. This year is no different with exciting evolutions of current products and continued expansions to our speaker’s bureau and education staff. Our partnerships with doctors and their practices have grown and our dedication to education has blossomed with our team of dedicated practitioners and educators. We are extremely happy to have Dr. Thomas Pitts join the team as our new Executive Clinical Director. He is a renowned expert who has advanced the orthodontics profession with his teaching, writing, and innovative practice. He and his group of OrthoEvolve doctors and educators will be teaching exciting and thought provoking techniques and concepts worldwide. We are very proud that they have chosen the H4 self-ligating bracket as their preferred appliance to use. The H4 system is having quite the evolution itself with the addition of an aesthetic option we are calling H4 GO. The H4 GO uses the same great H4 bracket foundation but is wholly manufactured in a clear hybrid resin using breakthrough new technology. Our 24 years of manufacturing experience have led to some amazing advancements in our technology and processes. The combination of function and aesthetics make this the perfect bracket for your patients who are on the GO. Speaking of aesthetic brackets, they often say “seeing is believing”. However in the case of our newest aesthetic bracket system, it’s what you don’t see that will have you believing. Our new C-Thru Aesthetic micro bracket is truly a breakthrough in orthodontic technology. The C-Thru bracket is so small and clear that it virtually disappears when bonded to the tooth becoming invisible at social distances. It is the perfect bracket for re-treats and minor clinical adjustments. You can now ditch those “invisible” retainers that offer little patient compliance for a bracket system that will get you the results you’ve been looking for. The patent pending low-profile design is half the height of a standard mini-twin and its smooth contoured design will have your patients lining up to get theirs. These additions along with many others make this catalog a must read! Once again, we at Ortho Classic would like to thank you for your continued support and business. Rolf Hagelganz Ortho Classic C.E.O.
