DENTSPLY GAC

From the newly introduced Accu-Force™ and Shape-Fit™ products, to the new Resolve® line of brackets, these products are the result of considerable dedication, determination, and the resolve to overcome a challenge like no other we’ve faced. The Resolve® name represents both the culmination of a goal to prevail and the starting point of a continual journey. And, while the Resolve® line is but one of the many products that make up our complete offering, we feel it is an accurate representation of who we are and what we stand for. So as you join us for a journey to explore a little bit about who we are, we simply ask that you keep the word “resolve” in the back of your mind. Because it’s the word, the action, and the mindset we keep “top of mind” in everything we do. And so far…that’s working out pretty well.

The big picture

Orthodontics is more than a discipline–it’s a passion. That’s why DENTSPLY GAC believes in giving orthodontists the tools and technologies they need to reach their full professional potential. DENTSPLY GAC prides itself in offering a complete range of orthodontic solutions that can easily and cost-effectively be incorporated into the modern practice and current treatment plans. From our advanced line of brackets, force-intuitive wires, and highly-efficient buccal tubes, to bonding, auxiliary appliances and innovative software programs, all of our products and services are precision engineered to help orthodontists reach their goals. And it all starts with the most basic element of orthodontics: the bracket.

The strength of our resolve

The Resolve® line of brackets is engineered to meet the needs of the modern orthodontist. Resolve® brackets deliver the utmost in precision and predictability for the ultimate in performance.
From the friction-reducing, low-profile design of the Resolve® Micro Bracket, the true straight-wire design of the Resolve® TSW Bracket, the control found in the Resolve® Classic Bracket, the affordability of the Resolve® ESW Bracket, to the versatility of the Resolve® VS Bracket, and the esthetic brilliance of the Resolve® Ceramic Bracket—DENTSPLY GAC offers an advanced bracketing system for every esthetic need. But the bracket is just the beginning of our resolve.

Down to the wire

Of course, your brackets are only as good as the wires guiding them. Fortunately, the Resolve® Accu-Force wires leave nothing to chance. Soft, pliable, and easy-to-engage at room temperature, Accu-Force metals represent the ultimate in modern engineering.
While the Accu-Force™ round initial arch wire delivers near constant force, the Accu-Force™ G3 super-elastic wires start with low and gentle forces for the anteriors, and then automatically increase in force to the posterior where it plateaus in the molar region. The result is an edgewise, early-treatment arch wire that will torque, level, and align simultaneously. Cordless power in the palm of your hand.

The new FUSION™ LED cordless curing light has the power and technology to cure brackets in 2-5 seconds. What’s more, it has a programmable keypad with digital display. Seven timing options make it easy to cure a single bracket or sequentially cure a full bonding with the simple touch of a button. Featuring a smart lithium-ion battery, the FUSION™ LED features a robust 45 minutes of run time and a durable anodized, aluminum body. The patented, focused-beam technology and slim, easy-to-handle design will make this curing light an office favorite.

Beyond brackets and wires

While DENTSPLY GAC is an industry leader when it comes to orthodontic products, the GAC sphere of influence extends well beyond precision movements within the mouth. Take, for instance, the benefits of the United Orthodontic Buying Group (UOBG). As the name suggests, the UOBG offers individual orthodontists the same bulk-buying discounts that larger practices and institutional buyers enjoy. But deep discounts are just the beginning.

The UOBG also offers its members valuable coupon credits on every purchase they make, complimentary classes and CE opportunities, access to some of the most actionable practice management programs, and member-only-access to a community comprising some of the most forward-thinking orthodontists in the world. And if all that isn’t enough, UOBG offers all these benefits to its members for the low price of…free!
 
As attractive as the UOBG is, DENTSPLY GAC knows there’s more to boosting the bottom line than savings alone. This is why GAC makes two of the most comprehensive, actionable, and effective practice building programs available—The Pride Institute and GACPowered.com.

Take pride in your practice

Finding the perfect balance between treating patients and practice management doesn’t have to be an either/or situation for today’s orthodontic professional. With DENTSPLY GAC’s Pride Institute, orthodontists have access to a unique approach to practice management that maximizes business and clinical effectiveness with minimal effort.

Developed to meet the challenges of the modern orthodontic practice, the programs of the Pride Institute train orthodontists and their teams in the business of orthodontics and quality care, while ensuring implementation and accountability through hands-on consulting. In fact, DENTSPLY GAC and the Pride Institute doctors routinely increase production while working fewer hours than when they started.

Unlike some practice management systems that are big on promise but light on delivery, the Pride Institute puts a wealth of actionable information, education, and systems at your fingertips:

•    Discover how you can comfortably, consistently, and effectively ask for referrals and build your patient base
•    Unify your team to set strategic goals, collection statistical benchmarks, and analyze success and challenges within the practice
•    Uncover step-by-step strategies to help you identify your patients’ intrinsic motivators so that you can increase treatment acceptance.

A powerful ally

Where the Pride Institute focuses on helping you maximize the benefits of your existing resources, GACPowered.com is dedicated to helping you develop new assets. GACPowered.com is a one-stop, online destination to help you market, advertise, and grow your practice in-and-around your community. Part online advertising agency, part self-administered MBA, GACPowered is an interactive supersite enabling you to create and implement fully-customizable, national-quality advertising campaigns that will draw attention—and new patients—to your practice.

GACPowered puts an entire arsenal of materials, experience, and advice just a few clicks away.
A true disruptive concept, GACPowered.com gives the orthodontist access to the kind of materials that project a cutting-edge image and help practices take the next step forward. Potential materials include co-branded patient brochures, direct mail materials, follow-up communications, and day-to-day mailings. Yet it’s some of the most atypical materials that generate the most significant interest. T-shirts, window clings, and stickers are some of the most impactful ways for a practice to generate word-of-mouth buzz.

Beyond advertising assistance, GACPowered.com empowers orthodontists to take marketing matters into their own hands. Branding Power Source and Advertising Power Source are two reports that can help turn an average orthodontist into a marketing master. No matter how big the practice, GACPowered offers the ability to produce national-quality marketing and advertising materials with nothing more than a few clicks of the mouse.

Moving forward

Making great orthodontic products is what we do. But making orthodontists great, that’s who we are. From the world-renowned offerings like the Resolve® line of products, to the camaraderie and group pricing benefits of the UOBG, the practice-maximizing lessons of the Pride Institute, and the practice-enhancing power of GACPowered.com—DENTSPLY GAC understands the power of partnership. For the orthodontist who’s ready to align with one of the most forward-thinking orthodontic partners in the word, DENTSPLY GAC offers a world of benefits beyond the bracket. Because our resolve is great, and making great products is just the beginning of who we are and what we do.
