Woowa high-performance, aesthetic archwires
Ortho-Care Ltd, one of the UKs largest independent distributors of orthodontic products, has introduced Woowa, a high-performance archwire that is incredibly durable.
Woowa archwires are tooth-coloured and, when combined with aesthetic brackets, create a brace-free look. Developed in Korea, this new technology allows orthodontists to give patients the very best aesthetic orthodontic treatments. The product doesn’t compromise clinical performance, as Woowa wires
perform like a non-coated archwire, with outstanding low levels of friction, due to the negligible .00005 coating that does not change the dimensions of the wire. This coating can be applied to stainless steel or nickel titanium wire. Woowa archwires are now available in all popular sizes in nickel titanium and stainless steel.
To order Woowa archwires, contact Ortho-Care on 01274 392017, email

better dental health is smoother and more pleasant, allowing them the freedom of mind to focus on their competition.
This treatment centre sets the benchmark for quality and reliability, while simultaneously being of great value. Its ambidextrous design provides equal right and left compatibility for dentists and outstanding ergonomics allow for a space-saving and efficient working environment.
The X-ray factor
Takara Belmont has developed an X-ray unit that delivers an improved user interface, keeping faith with their tradition of simple operation.
The Belray II system is engineered for accurate positioning, with excellent stability and reach. The control panel is compact and smooth with a single-piece membrane for easy cleaning. It boasts innovative design parameters, including a recessed focal spot allowing for a longer source-to-skin distance.
The Belray II unit offers great functionality and compatibility. Switching from film to digital is as easy as the press of a button on its intuitive control panel, enabling flexibility and adaptation
all in the same unit.
The zero drift scissor arm can be neatly stowed away against the wall when not in use, and the control panel can be mounted outside the room, operated by remote control or a hand exposure switch.

Composi-Tight 3D
best for class II’s The Composi-Tight 3D Sectional Matrix System from Garrison Dental Solutions has been named the 2012 Top Sectional Matrix and Preferred Sectional Matrix by The Dental Advisor.
Composi-Tight 3D produces tight anatomically accurate contacts at the height of contour with virtually zero flash. This is accomplished with three-dimensionally contoured Soft Face tips that conform to the surface of the tooth sealing the edges of the matrix band. Composi-Tight is the only system to employ this technology. Separation of the teeth by compression of the periodontal ligaments is produced by usage of stainless spring steel reinforced by advanced polymers. This produces a ring that is fully steam autoclavable and retains both its tension and shape for hundreds of uses.
This system is available from Garrison Dental Solutions by calling Lee Haywood on 07772 788 893 or
