BIJOU™ 100% Nickel-Free Orthodontic Brackets for Nickel-Sensitive Patients

Safe Orthodontic Treatment for Patients with Nickel Allergy (BIJOU™)

Standard austenitic stainless steel brackets (such as AISI 304/316L) contain 8–12% nickel, which can trigger intraoral mucosal erythema, gingival hyperplasia, or perioral dermatitis in patients with documented Type IV nickel hypersensitivity. The BIJOU™ 100% Nickel-Free Bracket and matching Nickel-Free Buccal Tubes are single-piece Metal Injection Molded (MIM) appliances with the Titan100™ mesh base, providing full twin-bracket torque-in-base control with zero nickel ion release.
