Special featuresNo Adjustments. Mandibular advancement. Corrects overjet. Reduces overbite.

Expansion of both arches may be achieved with an optional expansion screw for additional orthodontic correction. Sagittal expan-sion screws may be added for arch lengthening.

Memory Technology incorporates special mem-ory spring-loaded expan-sion screws along nickel titanium coil springs that are compressed with the unique Inman Power Component. The doctor can expand arches, distal-ize molars and bicuspids, or move incisors anteri-orly. In some cases, the movements can be com-bined into one appliance, eliminating the need for multiple appliances.

Each Flip-Lock HERBST is laser-welded to reduce breakage and can be customized for individual cases, shortening treat-ment time by as much as 6 months. The product also incorporates a Flip-Lock mechanism that eliminates pins, screws, and springs to facilitate activation.


Less Expensive

Smart Moves® is a less expensive, highly-effective solution for anterior tooth alignment. You only pay for the setups and appliances you need—not a set price for an entire “system” of aligners you may never use.

With Smart Moves, you pay just $105 per setup, complete with two aligners ($52.50 per aligner), andachieve up to 1mm of tooth movementper arch. Most aligner systems can only move teeth .5mm or less per setup,resulting in more setups and higher costs.

Extremely cost effective, Smart Moves can produce up to three setups per impression.

More Control

Smart Moves uses two aligners per setup. The first aligner is the key to this dramatic tooth movement. Made of our exclusive, highly elastic 1.3mmInvisacryl™* Hard/Soft material, this aligner provides controlled, predictabletooth movement, is easy to seat and comfortable to wear.

The second aligner, made of hard 1mm Invisacryl, completes the movement for the setup. Each aligner is worn two to three weeks, depending on the case.

Customized to Your Needs

Once we receive your impression, our experienced designers will evaluate the case and verify the number of setups requested. Or if you prefer, we will provide you with our recommendation to achieve ideal correction.

If after three setups, more movement is needed, just send us another impression and we will repeat the process.
