The Morelli Sapphire Bondable Flat Lingual Button is a premium aesthetic attachment produced in polycrystalline sapphire by Ceramic Injection Molding. It is bonded to enamel with adhesive resin only and provides a discreet attachment point for elastics, elastic chains, ligature wires and spring hooks in treatments with aesthetic brackets and aligners.

Ceramic Injection Molding (C.I.M.) — the production process used for this ceramic component
