Exceptional Aesthetics Without Compromise
Patients increasingly demand orthodontic appliances that are both effective and discreet. The Clarity™ Ultra Self-Ligating Bracket System features highly translucent ceramic material that blends naturally with tooth colour while resisting staining throughout treatment.
Unlike conventional ceramic brackets that rely on elastomeric ligatures—which may discolor over time—Clarity™ SL brackets maintain a cleaner, more aesthetic appearance by eliminating the need for elastic ties.
This combination makes them an excellent choice for adult professionals, teenagers, and cosmetic orthodontic cases.
Advanced Passive Self-Ligating Technology
Clarity™ SL brackets are designed as a passive self-ligating system, allowing archwires to move with reduced friction during alignment and leveling.
The innovative proprietary oval ligation design also provides the flexibility to activate the bracket when additional rotational or torque control is clinically required, giving orthodontists greater treatment versatility without changing bracket systems.
Benefits include:
Reduced friction during initial alignment
Improved wire engagement
Better treatment efficiency
Greater clinical flexibility
Enhanced control throughout different treatment stages
Designed for Patient Comfort
Every detail of the Clarity™ SL bracket has been engineered with patient comfort in mind.
Features include:
Smooth ceramic surfaces
Rounded bracket edges
Low-profile design
Comfortable intraoral feel
Reduced irritation to lips and cheeks
These design improvements help patients adapt more comfortably during orthodontic treatment while maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
Predictable Clinical Performance
3M has incorporated several innovative features to improve treatment precision and simplify daily clinical workflows.
Wide Ceramic Door
The broad mesial-distal ceramic door provides excellent rotational control while securely retaining the archwire.
Reliable Locking Mechanism
The durable self-ligating door is engineered to resist unintended opening or closure during treatment.
Predictable Debonding
A unique integrated stress concentrator enables controlled squeeze debonding, reducing the risk of bracket fracture during removal.
Efficient Identification

Colour-coded identification dots
Vertical reference lines
Horizontal positioning marks
These features enable faster bracket selection and more accurate placement.
