G&H uses proprietary feedstock formulations with only the highest quality materials to ensure consistent quality.

Ceramic (CIM) FeedstockCeramic Brackets

Metal (MIM) FeedstockMetal Brackets

The feedstock is compressed under high pressure in the injection molding machine. This creates what is known as a “green” bracket.

Ceramic brackets are complete after sintering as the base and bracket are formed as a single piece during the injection molding process.

“Green” brackets are sintered (heated at extreme temperature) to our proprietary specifications. The bracket emerges reduced to its finished dimension. Metal brackets are then ready to receive a mesh bonding base which is brazed onto the bracket.

“Green” Metal Bracket

G&H® Brackets Precision engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A. to meet your highest expectations

By controlling the entire process from raw material sourcing to packaging & delivery, we assure quality manufacturing & exceptional service.

The Bracket Manufacturing Process

“Green” Ceramic Bracket

The “green” bracket is 20% larger than the finished bracket.

The contoured mesh pad base is tack-welded by hand to metal bracket.

Tack-welded metal brackets receive solder in preparation for final brazing.

Brackets travel through a brazing furnace to complete the soldering process.

Brackets go through a final finishing step giving them a smooth polished finish.

Brackets are tumbled after sintering to remove any burs and to smooth contours.

After sintering, color-coding is applied prior to final inspection.

Quality management system - ISO 13485:2003 & EN ISO 13485:2012

All brackets are inspected for quality assurance throughout the manufacturing process and prior to packaging.

Vapor brackets are constructed of proprietary ceramic injection molding materials to ensure a stronger, and more dimensionally accurate bracket. Vapor’s brilliant translucency presents a totally aesthetic appearance throughout treatment. The unique bonding base design ensures superior performance and easy, conventional debonding. The unique “portals” in the base allow adhesive to circulate through the base, creating a secure mechanical bond.

“ I love how you can hardly tell I’m wearing braces! I feel more confident to smile, plus they’re comfortable.”

“The Vapor system provides all the characteristics one would look for in a high-quality ceramic bracket: aesthetics, ease-of-bonding, smoothness and strength. Thanks to the unique portals in the base, mechanical bond strength is enhanced yet the bracket is easy to debond. It is made in the U.S.A. and is cost-effective. I can’t think of anything else one could possibly ask for.”
