I actually asked my ortho once about my brackets, because I thought that they looked different. They actually aren't Viazis--they are Delta Force Brackets from Ortho Organizers, which have different options for the ligs depending on the amount of friction that the ortho wants. Here is a link:
My ortho is using a relatively new procedure on me called 'Controlled Arch", which requires these brackets along with upper and lower expanders, plus a particular combination of archwires. It is supposed to expand my upper and lower arches without the need for extractions.
Braces are Now Off!
