Every orthodontist is unique. The variety of treatment mechanics employed by specialists speaks to the ingenuity and artistry of the orthodontic profession, which is limited only by the inherent weaknesses of the hardware used during treatment.
When we set out to build the Empower system of brackets, our goal was to put as much control into the hands of the orthodontist as possible, providing options that meet the needs of each specialist. But even more than this, we wanted to empower orthodontists with many new options that could spur their own creativity and innovation.
Empower gives you the tools to treat YOUR patients YOUR way. Brackets do not magically move teeth. From leveling to finishing, it is the specialist that dictates how the magic of creating a healthy smile is achieved, not the hardware. With Empower you are only limited by your creativity. |

| Unprecedented versatility |
| |
| Introducing the industry’s first self ligating bracket system that empowers the orthodontist with the versatility of both passive
and interactive ligation clips - all in one unified system. |
| |
 Interactive Clip
- Low friction sliding mechanics early in treatment using small wire dimensions
- Enhanced control of torque and rotations during finishing phase using larger rectangular wires
- Available upper and lower, 5 to 5
|
| |
 Passive Clip
- Low friction sliding mechanics at the posterior throughout treatment
- Available on cuspids and bicuspids
|
| |
 |
| |
| FULLY INTERACTIVE SYSTEM |
| |
Empower’s interactive self ligating system offers the benefits of less friction at the
beginning of treatment and more control toward the end of treatment to assist with
final torques and rotations. |
| |
- Low friction, sliding mechanics during initial leveling and alignment stages
- Increased control of torque and rotations using larger wires delivers
exceptional finishing precision
- Available upper and lower 5 to 5
|
| |
 Empower’s Selective EngagementTM clip does not actively engage smaller round
and rectangular wires. This minimizes the effects of friction and allows for smaller
wires to unravel the dentition resulting in a more comfortable experience for the
patient at the beginning of treatment.
Wire sizes not actively engaged by clip:
.018 slot: .018 and .016 x .016 and smaller
.022 slot: .018 and .016 x .022 and smaller
|
| |
 In mid treatment and finishing stages, Empower’s Selective EngagementTM
clip actively engages larger wires for precise tooth control.
Wire sizes actively engaged by clip:
.018 slot: .016 x .022 and larger
.022 slot: .017 x .025 and larger

| HYBRID INTERACTIVE/PASSIVE SYSTEM |
| Two bracket designs...One dual activation system |
| |
 Empower’s dual activation system offers the unprecedented versatility of a
combination interactive anterior/passive posterior system.
- Anterior teeth - low friction, low force during initial leveling and alignment
stages, increased torque and rotational control during finishing
- Posterior teeth - low friction mechanics throughout treatment
- Interactive available upper and lower 5 to 5
- Passive available upper and lower 3 to 5

Because Empower benefits form
Diagonal Torque and Diagonal
Angulation, two key features of
American Orthodontics’ innovative
Master Series twin brackets,
the possibilities are endless for
integrating Empower with metal
twin brackets or with ceramic
brackets. Never before have so
many options been available in
one unified system. Whether you
prefer a fully interactive self ligating
system across both arches or a
combination of different types of
appliances, Empower puts control
squarely into your hands. |

| even better with all these extra features |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Extended pad design allows easy instrument engagement at the gingival tail
Diagonal Torque ensures predictable outcomes because forces transfer to the center of the tooth
Diagonal Angulation provides visual cues for accurate positioning
Offset bicuspid pads are available for the highest assurance of stable bonds throughout treatment
Rounded slot entrance and slot floor prevent wire notching which can slow down treatment
Maximum RetentionTM pads use photo etched pockets and 80 gauge mesh to ensure safe, secure bonds
Relieved slot floor and walls minimize friction in the slot
