The device consists of a plastic bracket body with a metal reinforcement and a mechanical lock base. It is an improvement over the previous Elation bracket (K942826), featuring a modified bonding base and tie wing design. The device is intended for use by dental professionals in a clinical setting. The brackets are bonded to natural teeth to apply force for orthodontic correction. The device components are composed of materials previously cleared for dental use, ensuring biocompatibility. The primary benefit is the provision of a reinforced orthodontic bracket for clinical tooth movement. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by the use of previously cleared materials and design modifications to a predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Orthodontic plastic bracket with metal reinforcement. Features a mechanical lock bonding base and improved tie wing design. Materials are consistent with those used in legally marketed dental devices. Device is a passive mechanical component. ## Regulatory Identification An orthodontic plastic bracket is a plastic device intended to be bonded to a tooth to apply pressure to a tooth from a flexible orthodontic wire to alter its position. ## Predicate Devices - Elation ([K942826](/device/K942826.md)) - Mystique MB Ceramic Bracket ([K082974](/device/K082974.md)) - Allure MB Ceramic Brackets ([K090454](/device/K090454.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
