LightForce bracket Terminology
- BAB - Breakaway Base - Bracket feature that enables it to crack down the middle
- Aux Slot - Vertical bracket slot between the mesial and distal tie wings
Original BAB Design:
The clinical technician will have to activate the BAB by holding closer to the tie wings and applying light pressure moving up and down the bracket. Weakening the bracket like a paper clip. Taking the plier and squeezing more gingivally then adjusting the plier up/down the sides of the bracket going from gingival to middle to occlusal until the bracket collapses.
Important Note:
*Remove arch wire before activating BAB
*With LFO brackets and activating BAB to not apply any torque of the wrist when debonding.
