Great Lakes Orthodontics introduces the ASTICS™ Translucent Labial Bow. ASTICS features a patented translucent polymer labial bow instead of traditional metal wire. The translucent bow can be used in a wraparound retainer or a retainer attached to an Adams clasp to fabricate your own appliances. According to the company, ASTICS composite wire maintains its shape better than metal wire and provides retention and durability. It can be formed to closely fit labial surfaces and will not harm restorations.
