Special features

The MTM In-Office System uses techniques developed by orthodontist Dr Keith Hilliard to address patient demand for aesthetic treatment of minor misalignments. It moves teeth through integrated “force points” placed in the aligner using Raintree’s patented Thermoplier pliers.

EZ-Align® is affordable compared to other aligner systems currently available on the market today.

The 2D Brackets are extremely flat, providing ultimate patient comfort while eating and speaking, and they are user-friendly for doctors and staff.

The clear, lingual self-ligating bracket/tube system is used for the upper “social six” as well as for full arch treatments. A unique placement guide makes direct bonding easy, and the clear appearance makes Phantom an aesthetic lingual choice.
