The Morelli Self-Ligating Hybrid Ceramic .022 Roth Brackets Single Patient Kit combines two clip types in one Roth setup, assigned by position in the arch. Interactive pieces sit on the incisors, where torque control matters most, while passive pieces sit on the canines and premolars, where free wire sliding speeds up alignment and space closure.
Key Features
Hybrid by arch position — interactive pieces on the upper and lower incisors (12, 11, 21, 22 and 42, 41, 31, 32), passive pieces on the canines and upper premolars (13, 23, 14, 24, 15, 25 and 33, 43)
Torque where it counts, sliding where it helps — active engagement on the anterior segment for torque expression, minimal friction on the posterior segment for retraction and space closure
Metal lower first and second premolars — positions 34, 35, 44 and 45 are metal for better resistance to chewing loads in the lower posterior segment
Alumina ceramic body — translucent, color-stable ceramic with a matte surface that blends with enamel and resists staining through long treatments
Nitinol clip — superelastic nickel-titanium clip with a simple open-and-close mechanism, operated chairside without separate instruments
Bi-blasted and silanized base — treated bonding base for reliable adhesion and controlled debonding
Hooks on canines and premolars — integrated hooks on the canine and premolar positions for elastics and auxiliaries

Torque and Angulation
Upper central incisor (11/21): torque +12° · angulation +5° · length 3,6 mm
Upper lateral incisor (12/22): torque +8° · angulation +9° · length 2,9 mm
Upper canine (13/23): torque -2° · angulation +9° · length 3,3 mm
Upper first premolar (14/24): torque -7° · angulation 0° · length 3,3 mm
Upper second premolar (15/25): torque -7° · angulation 0° · length 3,3 mm
Lower central incisor (31/41): torque 0° · angulation 0° · length 2,7 mm
Lower lateral incisor (32/42): torque 0° · angulation 0° · length 2,7 mm
Lower canine (33/43): torque -11° · angulation +7° · length 3,3 mm
Lower first premolar (34/44): torque -17° · angulation 0° · length 3,0 mm
Lower second premolar (35/45): torque -22° · angulation 0° · length 3,0 mm
Clinical Applications
Cases needing anterior torque control with fast posterior mechanics — incisor torque is expressed while the canines and premolars keep the archwire sliding freely
Extraction cases with anterior retraction where low friction in the buccal segments shortens space closure without losing incisor inclination
Patients with heavy occlusal load in the lower arch, where the metal lower premolars reduce the risk of fracture compared with an all-ceramic setup
Do you want interactive control on the incisors and passive sliding behind them?
Choose the hybrid version when the case needs both behaviours in the same arch — the interactive kit applies active engagement to every position, and the passive kit applies active engagement to none.
