Over the course of more than 40 years, I have worked with a number of orthodontic appliances. Most recently, working with Dr. John Bennett and the Team at Forestadent, the McLaughlin Bennett 5.0 (MB 5.0) system was developed.
Tips, torques and in/out dimensions of the appliance were improved. In addition, other significant features were added including an integral hooked base that enhances reliability, aesthetics and performance. We launched The MB 5.0 System in the Fall of 2018, and it has proven to work very effectively and helped improve of our orthodontic mechanics. The following case is an example of how the combination of the appliance and mechanics works.
