The 3rd generation of Quick Brackets. Optimal bond on any shape of tooth
Though nature created the buccal aspect of tooth crowns much more uniformly than the lingual aspect, one buccal aspect is not exactly the same as another. To ensure that Quick brackets conformed even better to these natural guidelines, the base of the 3rd generation was specifically orientated to the example of “Mother Nature”.
For this purpose thousands of teeth worldwide were examined, shapes analysed and the results transferred to the new bracket design. The result was a resounding success – BioQuick.
BioQuick is an interactive, self-ligating metal bracket that particularly impresses because of its easy, relaxed handling.

During the last few years, the engineers of FORESTADENT scanned around 4,000 teeth from all over the world using the 3D laser scan technique and examined their natural curvatures.

Based on this study* we have now successfully developed a new bracket base adapted to each biological situation. This anatomically contoured base adapts perfectly to the shape of the tooth crown and ensures reliable positioning of the bracket.
Picture: The crown of each tooth is represented using approx. 5,000 – 10,000 data points. This method allows the curvature to be precisely ascertained.
Stable clip and easy opening from the gingival
The clip is opened gingivally using a probe. With the aid of the new snap function a notch on the pad margin guides the probe automatically to the clip, which has been extended more to the gingival aspect than in the Quick>>2.0 system.
Due to new designs and manufacturing procedures the BioQuick clip is even more stable and is easier to open from the gingival aspect. The clip is closed in the standard way by applying gentle finger pressure.
To open the clip easily, slide the probe along at the pad margin until it engages in the notch.
The notch on the pad margin automatically guides the probe to the clip.
The clip can now be easily opened occlusally by applying light pressure.
Minimal friction ensure quick success
BioQuick brackets display their full potential particularly in clinical situations with pronounced vertical archwire deflection, e.g. in the case of displaced canines. Binding and notching, which often occurs with conventional brackets, is prevented by four ribs within the slot. As the archwire only rests on two contact points in this case, it has greater clearance and therefore ensures friction-free sliding. This in turn accelerates integration of the canines.
Well rounded bracket and slot edges as well as contact ribs in the bracket slot ensure controlled force transfer with minimal friction.

Interactive clip and numerous combination options
The additional slot (0.016“ x 0.016“) of the BioQuick® brackets considerably extends treatment options. The slot allows placement of diverse springs for uprighting molars, derotation and intrusion/extrusion. It also makes it possible to combine treatment with the OrthoEasy pin system.
The clip is interactive and provides more free space for archwires up
to dimensions of .018“ x .018“ or .016“ x .022“ because of a support,
in a similar way to passive brackets. The clip is active when larger
archwires are used. If wires with the dimensions .018“ x .025“ (18
Slot) and .022“ x .025“ (22er Slot) are used, they will fill the slot.
Passive clip
up to .016” x .022” or .018“ x .018“
Active clip
larger than .016” x .022” or .018” x .018”
Fully activated clip
with .018“ x .025“ (.018“ slot) or .022“ x .025“ (.022“ slot)
The new BioQuick molar bracket provides much more free space
The molar bracket of the BioQuick system offers enormous advantages when changing the archwire. The awkward threading of the archwire into standard molar tubes is no longer required. Distal bending of the archwire can now be completed extraorally. The design of the BioQuick molar brackets is the same as that of the anterior BioQuick brackets. The archwires are placed easily in the bracket slot when the clip is open and are ligated simply by pressing the clip.
Use in combination with QuicKlear brackets, the aesthetic option from FORESTADENT, is also highly recommended. QuicKlear brackets are currently available from 5 to 5 in the upper jaw and are an ideal complement to the new BioQuick system because of their similar functioning principle and translucent appearance.
