How do I have to prepare my parcel ?


Put the brackets and bands in plastic small bags closed by clips and the small bags in a strong package closed by adhesive tape.

If the plastic small bags open during transport and if the package is not well closed, the brackets will be lost.

Never use commercial envelopes because of the risk of destruction by the devices in sorting office.

There is no minimum of order but we charge administrative and sending expenses for the orders of an amount lower than 100 €.










































 
Do I have to sort the brackets before sending them ?

Yes for the not identified brackets (class I,II,II for example).

In all the others cases, we advise you to send the brackets in bulk to us because we systematically mix the brackets for the phase of polishing.


Our controlers who sorted millions of brackets do not have any problem to differentiate them and, where necessary measure the brackets under microscope.

Marking color is carried out by a biocompatible point of painting heated in a furnace. The biocompatibility of our painting was validated within the framework of the procedure of EC marking.

The brackets are marked according to our standard marking or to your demand.
