After 6 years at "A"-Company, Johnson & Johnson (suit and tie every day), Steve found the key to good engineering is casual clothes and hard work.

We manufacture about 1,000 items with about 450 of these appearing in our catalog. The other items are "custom" or "private label" items made for doctors or distributors to their specifications. Obviously, since we make so many custom items we can meet your needs for a custom product as well. We have developed a separate business, Mouth Widgets with a website at www.mouthwidgets.com to support this custom development and manufacturing. We hold 20 patents and licenses. Most of our products are patented. We have received FDA approvals, CE marks for all products. We maintain our factory to manufacture our products. If you are an inventor of a unique force system product, contact us to see about commercializing your invention. We are mainly interested in orthodontic force system products with patents or patent protection potential. Our Company motto is " Fashion + Function = Compliance". We believe that better products as measured by patient acceptance and orthodontist acceptance will be well accepted by the orthodontic profession. We want to help make treatment faster, more enjoyable and safer for patients. |
