Aesthetic Bracket Systems
Two ceramic bracket systems — ClearVu® and InVu® — each built on TPO®'s Personalized Color-Matching Technology® for patients who want results without the metal.
Two systems. One standard for aesthetics.
Only TP Orthodontics Aesthetic Brackets feature an exclusive Personalized Color-Matching Technology® — brackets that absorb wavelengths of light and blend to adjust to the color of the teeth they're on. That technology runs through both systems below: ClearVu® Cosmetic Brackets, precision-molded ceramic with a patented flexible base; and InVu® Aesthetic Brackets, engineered for strength and low-friction performance.
The new standard in ceramic bracket design.
With ClearVu® Cosmetic Brackets, TPO® delivers a revolutionary base technology that provides a reliable bond and safe, comfortable debond, virtually eliminating the stress typically associated with debonding — ideal for patients who request but don't qualify for aligner treatment.
It's all about the base.
What sets ClearVu® apart is the patented polymer base. The mesh design closely replicates a metal base, while the polymer material provides a protective barrier between the ceramic bracket and the enamel. Since the base flexes upon debonding, the bracket removes cleanly — no need to fracture the bracket or rely on special tools.
Smoother, stronger, more reliable.
ClearVu® is precision-engineered using an advanced injection-molded process that produces a smooth, strong, reliable ceramic bracket. Unlike machined ceramics, the surface is virtually flawless, without the micro-fractures that lead to breakage. A proven true-twin bracket design delivers multiple ligation options and predictable results, with deep tie wing undercuts and true ball-end hooks for secure ligation and easy elastic placement.
ClearVu® with eXact® Pre-Applied Adhesive
Ready to place right out of the package, with reduced risk of contamination, brackets that set easily without sliding, and minimal flash clean-up. Exact delivery of the adhesive means less prep time and maximized chair time.
The perfect combination of performance and aesthetics.
InVu® Aesthetic Brackets don't just look better, they perform better. Precision-engineered to offer superior strength, easier bonding, cleaner debonding, lower friction, and a more open design for flexible ligation options — reliability that keeps treatment on schedule.
Low friction. Improved treatment time.
A low profile makes InVu® especially comfortable to wear, and a low friction force results in better treatment times. Wedge-shaped lower anterior brackets minimize occlusal interference. Deep tie wings with rounded contours offer generous space for easy engagement of elastomers, and ball-end cuspid hooks assure retention of elastics while enhancing patient comfort.
Proven bond strength — an exclusive base from TPO®.
InVu® features an exclusive molded polymer mesh base that protects teeth by preventing direct contact between the ceramic and tooth enamel. Designed using symmetric replication technology, the mesh surface flexes during debonding while retaining most of the adhesive — no compression, no breaking, no special tools required.
InVu® with eXact® Pre-Applied Adhesive
A distinctive X-shape holds a uniform volume of adhesive for superior bond strength with minimal flash clean-up. Exact delivery means reduced prep time, precise application, and maximized chair time.
Personalized Color-Matching Technology®
Shared across both systems above — ClearVu® and InVu® both feature this exclusive TPO® technology.
What does it do?
Proprietary ceramic material closely duplicates the optical properties of natural teeth, absorbing certain wavelengths of light so only the natural tooth color shows — creating a look of transparency that matches virtually any tooth color.
How does it work?
Optical properties, including color and translucency, vary widely among patients' teeth. The high-density ceramic material's microstructural elements are engineered to provide a perfect combination of these properties, so light and color diffuse and the bracket blends with the surrounding enamel.
When compared with 18 different brackets, the TPO bracket with Personalized Color-Matching Technology® was the only brand that showed a good relationship with the color of natural teeth across all color parameters — and the only brand rated as "visually imperceptible."1
