Star-Like Bracket Positioning Gauge 3.5", 4.0", 4.5", 5.0"

Star-Like Bracket Positioning Gauge 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0 mm

A precision orthodontic instrument designed to assist in accurate vertical placement of brackets on posterior teeth. This star-shaped gauge features four radiating arms, each calibrated for a specific height (3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm, 5.0 mm), enabling consistent and reproducible bracket positioning. The gauge is typically made of stainless steel, is autoclavable, and is engineered for durability, smooth operation, and ease of use in clinical settings.

Key Features

• Four Calibrated Arms (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 mm)
  Each arm corresponds to a specific vertical height, allowing the clinician to choose the appropriate measurement for bracket placement depending on tooth and treatment plan. 

• Star-Like Design
  The radial (star) configuration allows the gauge to be rotated to select the correct height arm, offering compactness and flexibility in placement. 

• Stainless Steel Construction
  Machined from corrosion-resistant stainless steel to maintain accuracy and longevity under repeated sterilization cycles.

• Smooth Finish & Edge Protection
  Carefully polished to avoid damaging delicate orthodontic wires or brackets during adjustment or contact.

• Compact & Easy to Handle
  Lightweight and ergonomic to hold, allowing the clinician to position the gauge reliably without interference.

• Autoclavable & Reusable
  Designed to withstand sterilization processes (e.g., autoclave) without losing calibration or structural integrity.

Applications

• Ensuring consistent vertical height of orthodontic brackets relative to the incisal or occlusal edge.
  

• Helpful during indirect and direct bonding procedures to check and adjust bracket placement.

• Aiding in quality control and verification of bracket positions before curing adhesives.

Ideal For

• Orthodontists, orthodontic technicians, and dental clinics doing bracket bonding.

• Educational settings and laboratories teaching precise bracket height techniques.

• Practices emphasizing reproducibility and standardization in bracket positioning.

• Any procedure where vertical accuracy of bracket placement is critical.
