The Morelli Actual Especial Stainless Steel .018 Ricketts Brackets — Single Patient Kit is built for the Bioprogressive (Ricketts) technique, supplied as a complete 20-piece case with hooks on the canines and premolars. It is a .018 slot set whose upper lateral incisors carry +10° of torque — the value that separates it from the standard Actual Ricketts block.
Key Features
Actual Especial Ricketts prescription — the dedicated Bioprogressive torque and angulation set
.018 slot only — matched to the lighter, sectional archwires of the Ricketts protocol
Stainless steel construction — durable body with a sandblasted base for bonding retention
Rounded slot ends — lower wire binding and improved patient comfort
Anatomical profile — accurate seating on the clinical crown for consistent positioning
Hooks on canines and premolars — direct attachment for elastics and auxiliaries
