Leone’s STEP system is a straight wire technique developed by internationally known orthodontists, Drs. Arturo Fortini and Massimo Lupoli. Their clinical experience, combined with Leone’s productive capability, made possible the development of a unique system that would be able to manage friction depending on the phase of treatment. The clinician can now choose the most advantageous biomechanics simply by applying Slide™ ligatures, in total freedom to choose where, in what direction and for how long to use light orthodontic forces that stimulate tooth movement, for example only in the upper arch, only in the anterior region, and so on.
This will allow the orthodontist to benefit from advantages normally offered only by a self-ligating bracket system, without difficulties of using complicated, bulky brackets that can be difficult to manage with success. Orthodontist can also get full three-dimensional control of forces, achieved by using normal ligatures when needed.
This is versatility!
The STEP prescription, derived from the MBT™** technique, employs a specific archwire sequence based on the amount of friction generated by the relation between interaction of wire and bracket slot. |
