Intricate, Net Shape Stainless Steel Stock for Orthodontic Brackets

Profiles' ability to design, prototype and manufacture precision components and subassemblies makes it well-suited to medical and surgical device manufacturers. One of Profiles' longest-running programs, however, is for orthodontics.

Each year, 2 million Americans decide to straighten their teeth. Europe and Asia, particularly Japan and Korea, are also growing markets for orthodontic treatment. Regardless of where they live, however, many patients benefit from the high-precision 316 stainless steel brackets that affix to each tooth – and are braces' functional backbone.

For more than 25 years, Profiles has supplied the intricate, net shape stock in 6' lengths. It is then cut to size, slotted and supplied in sets to orthodontists worldwide.
