The Morelli Slim Max Edgewise .022″ Single Patient Kit is the reduced-profile version of the Max line, built as a single body by MIM (Metal Injection Molding) with no welds. It carries a pure Edgewise prescription: the slot has no torque and no angulation built in, leaving every movement under the direct control of the archwire the clinician bends.
Key Features
Pure Edgewise prescription — zero torque and zero angulation in every bracket, so all compensation is bent into the wire by the clinician.
Single-body MIM construction — produced in one piece by Metal Injection Molding, with no welded joints between wing, slot and base.
Slim profile — lower slot-to-base height than the standard Max, reducing occlusal interference and cheek contact.
Sandblasted base with retentive micro-pins — blasted surface plus micro-pins that raise adhesive retention and bonding efficiency.
Edge opening — peripheral containment with an occlusal opening that lets excess resin escape and eases light curing.
Low-friction slot with rounded ends — smoother archwire sliding during levelling and space closure.
Hooks on canines — anchorage points for elastics and chains where retraction mechanics are usually applied.

Clinical Applications
Standard Edgewise mechanics who prefer to build torque and tip into the archwire instead of accepting a factory prescription.
Complex or atypical cases where individual compensation per tooth is required and a pre-adjusted prescription would work against the plan.
Teaching clinics and postgraduate programmes that teach wire-bending technique on a full fixed appliance.
Why choose Edgewise over a pre-adjusted prescription?
Unlike Roth or MBT brackets, which carry fixed values in the slot, the Slim Max keeps the prescription entirely in the clinician’s hands — every degree of torque and tip comes from the wire you bend, giving full case-by-case control.
