The Morelli Self-Ligating Passive Stainless Steel .022 MBT Individual Bracket is the single-position replacement for a passive self-ligating MBT case. It is the same bracket supplied in the Morelli SLP MBT case kit, sold by tooth position. The clip closes over the slot without pressing the archwire, so the MBT values are expressed by the bracket base and slot while friction stays at a minimum.
Key Features
Passive clip mechanics — the clip does not put pressure on the wire, keeping friction low throughout alignment, levelling and sliding mechanics.
MBT prescription per position — +17° on the upper central incisors, -6° on the lower incisors and angulation values built into each base.
Nitinol clip — The Nitinol clip is superelastic and keeps its recovery force after repeated opening and closing, resisting mechanical deformation throughout the entire treatment.
Anti-Lock System — specially designed to prevent the clip from jamming due to plaque and tartar buildup.
MIM construction — injected using Metal Injection Molding, giving superior resistance to the bracket body and clip housing.
Rounded design — rounded contours, slot with curvature relief and rounded ends for patient comfort and smooth wire sliding.
Optimized base — mesiodistal and cervico-occlusal curvature for excellent adaptation and mechanical retention.

Clinical Applications
Replacement of a debonded passive bracket in an MBT case, restoring the low-friction arch without changing the prescription.
Sliding mechanics with MBT values in space closure, where minimal clip pressure on the wire is required.
Position-specific inventory for practices running passive MBT protocols, separated from the interactive and Roth lines.
Which position debonded in your passive MBT case?
Order that single bracket and the case continues with the original MBT prescription and passive low friction — complete cases are bonded from the Morelli SLP MBT 20-piece kit.
