The BART has been designed to dislodge clear aligners with ease, comfort and protection of essential attachments which are critical to the success of treatment.

BART is superior to previous generation removal appliances in that it :

  • Prevents excessive forces being applied to aligners
  • Specifically designed to remove aligners from lingual aspect of teeth
  • Minimises the likelihood of attachments being dislodged
  • Easily sterilised and fabricated with medical grade stainless steel  
Prevention of excessive force

The shape of clear aligners is essential to provide forces required to move the teeth as predictably as possible. If the shape of the aligner is disrupted, the aligner will not apply the prescribed forces accurately.

BART has been engineered to prevent excessive pressure being applied on the aligners on the labial aspect, where most of the prescribed aligner forces are supposed to be applied. Previous devices in the market provide too much force on the buccal aspect of the aligners, causing significant changes in aligner shape and heightened risk of breaking attachments off.

As premolar and molar teeth generally have a larger undercut due to their buccal morphology, more force is required to dislodge each aligner than if removal is attempted from the lingual or palatal aspect.

The BART device engages each aligner on the lingual or palatal aspect and provides fingertip control to gently dislodge the aligner initially and then to easily roll it out.

Handle Design

By only allowing a finger and thumb to grip the BART device, only minimal forces can be applied to the periphery of the aligner. Previous devices used a ring pull handle which allows patients to use their arms and shoulders to apply excessive force and from an incorrect labial position.

Prevention of attachment dislodgement

Composite attachments placed on teeth during clear alignment act like handles to allow aligners to apply forces as efficaciously as possible.

They can be difficult and time-consuming to place and are often dislodged by patients placing excessive force during aligner removal.

The BART device minimises the chance of attachment dislodgement by dislodging the aligners from the lingual aspect and allowing for them to be rolled out over the attachments.

Instructions for use:

Upper aligner removal:

  • Use your thumb and forefinger to grasp the handle of the BART device. 
  • Start with one side of the mouth. Engage the U- shaped hook of the BART device with the edge of the aligner (nearest to the gums on the palate side), as far back as is comfortable. 
  • Using finger pressure only, pull down initially and then out towards the cheeks to dislodge the aligner from the back teeth.  
  •  Then move the U-shaped hook forwards,  between the 2 premolars and dislodge this area with the same down and out motion. 
  • Next, move BART to the opposite side of the mouth and repeat the process. 
  • Move the tool closer to the front teeth area, pulling with the same motion,  which should complete the removal of the aligners from the upper arch. 

Dislodging aligners with finger nails can change the shape of the aligners and diminish their effectiveness.

Using a ring pull hook warps the aligner and dislodges attachments easily.

 

Lower arch removal:

  • Repeat the same process as for the upper aligner but slide BART between your tongue and the inside of the aligner ( next to the gum). 
  • Once engaged with the edge of the aligner, simply dislodge it by pulling upwards and then rolling the aligner over the attachments and teeth. 
  • Repeat this process further towards the front of the aligner and on the other side of the mouth (if required).

 

    Cleaning instructions:

    • The BART device can be inserted into a dishwasher safely or simply scrubbed with an aligner cleaning brush. 
    • Ideal sterilisation is provided by insertion into the AseptaLign device (ultra violet LED) for 150 seconds.

    Very interesting reading.
    Very interesting reading. He gives a very different picture (and more accurate picture, I'm sure) of the Indians in North and South Americas than what we've been told in our history books. They could very well be the lost tribes of Israel.

    This book is a 'Fraud'... perhaps not
    Format: Paperback
    This is my first Review ever on Amazon and I am doing this for the love of Hafiz. I am originally of Persian origin and a life long lover of Hafiz... Have visited his tomb and the beautiful city of Shiraz. For people who are looking for a perfect translation, let me tell you that this is not it, not even close. To translate Hafiz, is to try and reproduce Shakespeare in another language and have it somehow come out with the same texture for the modern age (perhaps impossible). So reading Hafiz in Farsi requires years and years of cultural, intellectual and spiritual studies. To me he was an enlightened artist that had walked the esoteric Sufi path to full and authentic comprehension/liberation, in the process one can sense his love for existence and connection to the source (his own being). It feels like he had reached a place where like any great artist he had the necessary tools developed physically/mentally/intellectually to be able to translate his mystical experiences fluently and effortlessly into an external art form (in his case lyric poetry and who knows what else). I am explaining my understanding of him/her to make a point here. Mr. Ladinsky has somehow connected to the essence of Hafiz. In order to comprehend Hafiz in another language (and a whole different time/setting), one has to somehow try the impossible and reproduce the texture by trying to remove vague cultural, intellectual and spiritual references with ideas and thoughts that resonate with people today. Ladinsky has tried and somehow succeeded with giving us a glimpse (just a glimpse) of Hafiz and his loving/playful spirit. In my opinion, this book is mainly an intro to Hafiz, but even an intro is enough to open the door for those that like to venture deeper. In Iran Hafiz (or Hafez) and his main and perhaps only book 'Divan' is read like an Oracle (like the I Ching) - with intention and perhaps a lingering question one opens up to a page to receive his guidance. Well this book, carries the same fire if you're able to get past your ideas of right and wrong and just tune into it. For many Iranians (lots of my own friends), this book brings up a lot of challenges and I can understand that because it's so different from the original, but yet if you are able to realize that his poetry was from over 600 years ago, from a time when the culture was so different and language was a lot more evolved, than maybe you can put into context what this book is actually doing. And yes, language was more evolved, just look at the older writings by poets and writers and it should be obvious (that's a whole other subject). Mr. Ladinsky, has tried his best and this seems like the only book so far that allows one to get a glimpse of Hafiz in the english language, but he also does fall short in many aspects obviously (There probably isn't anyone that could perfectly translate Hafiz, even in Iran people argue about the deeper meanings of most of his writings). Hafiz's words are from another dimension and brought to life in Farsi, so to truly feel Hafiz, one has to study Farsi.
