The BART has been designed to dislodge clear aligners with ease, comfort and protection of essential attachments which are critical to the success of treatment.

BART is superior to previous generation removal appliances in that it :

  • Prevents excessive forces being applied to aligners
  • Specifically designed to remove aligners from lingual aspect of teeth
  • Minimises the likelihood of attachments being dislodged
  • Easily sterilised and fabricated with medical grade stainless steel  
Prevention of excessive force

The shape of clear aligners is essential to provide forces required to move the teeth as predictably as possible. If the shape of the aligner is disrupted, the aligner will not apply the prescribed forces accurately.

BART has been engineered to prevent excessive pressure being applied on the aligners on the labial aspect, where most of the prescribed aligner forces are supposed to be applied. Previous devices in the market provide too much force on the buccal aspect of the aligners, causing significant changes in aligner shape and heightened risk of breaking attachments off.

As premolar and molar teeth generally have a larger undercut due to their buccal morphology, more force is required to dislodge each aligner than if removal is attempted from the lingual or palatal aspect.

The BART device engages each aligner on the lingual or palatal aspect and provides fingertip control to gently dislodge the aligner initially and then to easily roll it out.

Handle Design

By only allowing a finger and thumb to grip the BART device, only minimal forces can be applied to the periphery of the aligner. Previous devices used a ring pull handle which allows patients to use their arms and shoulders to apply excessive force and from an incorrect labial position.

Prevention of attachment dislodgement

Composite attachments placed on teeth during clear alignment act like handles to allow aligners to apply forces as efficaciously as possible.

They can be difficult and time-consuming to place and are often dislodged by patients placing excessive force during aligner removal.

The BART device minimises the chance of attachment dislodgement by dislodging the aligners from the lingual aspect and allowing for them to be rolled out over the attachments.

Instructions for use:

Upper aligner removal:

  • Use your thumb and forefinger to grasp the handle of the BART device. 
  • Start with one side of the mouth. Engage the U- shaped hook of the BART device with the edge of the aligner (nearest to the gums on the palate side), as far back as is comfortable. 
  • Using finger pressure only, pull down initially and then out towards the cheeks to dislodge the aligner from the back teeth.  
  •  Then move the U-shaped hook forwards,  between the 2 premolars and dislodge this area with the same down and out motion. 
  • Next, move BART to the opposite side of the mouth and repeat the process. 
  • Move the tool closer to the front teeth area, pulling with the same motion,  which should complete the removal of the aligners from the upper arch. 

Dislodging aligners with finger nails can change the shape of the aligners and diminish their effectiveness.

Using a ring pull hook warps the aligner and dislodges attachments easily.

 

Lower arch removal:

  • Repeat the same process as for the upper aligner but slide BART between your tongue and the inside of the aligner ( next to the gum). 
  • Once engaged with the edge of the aligner, simply dislodge it by pulling upwards and then rolling the aligner over the attachments and teeth. 
  • Repeat this process further towards the front of the aligner and on the other side of the mouth (if required).

 

    Cleaning instructions:

    • The BART device can be inserted into a dishwasher safely or simply scrubbed with an aligner cleaning brush. 
    • Ideal sterilisation is provided by insertion into the AseptaLign device (ultra violet LED) for 150 seconds.

    Fudge!
    Format: Kindle
    Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

    Intriguing
    Format: Kindle
    An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.

    Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
    Format: Kindle
    Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.

    Exceptional
    Format: Kindle
    I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.

    I don’t mind a cliffhanger,
    Format: Kindle
    but I dropped at least one star because of the obnoxious gloating of the author after the cliffhanger. Seriously - I don’t understand making your readers angry because you’re smug and expecting them to keep reading your books. I was very definitely enjoying the series. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth and mixed feelings about continuing the series.
