The BART has been designed to dislodge clear aligners with ease, comfort and protection of essential attachments which are critical to the success of treatment.

BART is superior to previous generation removal appliances in that it :

  • Prevents excessive forces being applied to aligners
  • Specifically designed to remove aligners from lingual aspect of teeth
  • Minimises the likelihood of attachments being dislodged
  • Easily sterilised and fabricated with medical grade stainless steel  
Prevention of excessive force

The shape of clear aligners is essential to provide forces required to move the teeth as predictably as possible. If the shape of the aligner is disrupted, the aligner will not apply the prescribed forces accurately.

BART has been engineered to prevent excessive pressure being applied on the aligners on the labial aspect, where most of the prescribed aligner forces are supposed to be applied. Previous devices in the market provide too much force on the buccal aspect of the aligners, causing significant changes in aligner shape and heightened risk of breaking attachments off.

As premolar and molar teeth generally have a larger undercut due to their buccal morphology, more force is required to dislodge each aligner than if removal is attempted from the lingual or palatal aspect.

The BART device engages each aligner on the lingual or palatal aspect and provides fingertip control to gently dislodge the aligner initially and then to easily roll it out.

Handle Design

By only allowing a finger and thumb to grip the BART device, only minimal forces can be applied to the periphery of the aligner. Previous devices used a ring pull handle which allows patients to use their arms and shoulders to apply excessive force and from an incorrect labial position.

Prevention of attachment dislodgement

Composite attachments placed on teeth during clear alignment act like handles to allow aligners to apply forces as efficaciously as possible.

They can be difficult and time-consuming to place and are often dislodged by patients placing excessive force during aligner removal.

The BART device minimises the chance of attachment dislodgement by dislodging the aligners from the lingual aspect and allowing for them to be rolled out over the attachments.

Instructions for use:

Upper aligner removal:

  • Use your thumb and forefinger to grasp the handle of the BART device. 
  • Start with one side of the mouth. Engage the U- shaped hook of the BART device with the edge of the aligner (nearest to the gums on the palate side), as far back as is comfortable. 
  • Using finger pressure only, pull down initially and then out towards the cheeks to dislodge the aligner from the back teeth.  
  •  Then move the U-shaped hook forwards,  between the 2 premolars and dislodge this area with the same down and out motion. 
  • Next, move BART to the opposite side of the mouth and repeat the process. 
  • Move the tool closer to the front teeth area, pulling with the same motion,  which should complete the removal of the aligners from the upper arch. 

Dislodging aligners with finger nails can change the shape of the aligners and diminish their effectiveness.

Using a ring pull hook warps the aligner and dislodges attachments easily.

 

Lower arch removal:

  • Repeat the same process as for the upper aligner but slide BART between your tongue and the inside of the aligner ( next to the gum). 
  • Once engaged with the edge of the aligner, simply dislodge it by pulling upwards and then rolling the aligner over the attachments and teeth. 
  • Repeat this process further towards the front of the aligner and on the other side of the mouth (if required).

 

    Cleaning instructions:

    • The BART device can be inserted into a dishwasher safely or simply scrubbed with an aligner cleaning brush. 
    • Ideal sterilisation is provided by insertion into the AseptaLign device (ultra violet LED) for 150 seconds.

    Good for my collection.
    Format: Hardcover
    This was another quick and entertaining read. This instalment wasn't as enjoyable as some of the other books but it was still good. I'm glad to have it in my collection.

    Arrakis Brought to Life: A Stunning Visual Gateway into Dune
    Format: Hardcover
    ‘Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book One’ is an outstanding adaptation that captures the scale, tension, and atmosphere of Frank Herbert’s original novel while making the world of Arrakis far easier to visualize. The artwork does an exceptional job translating Herbert’s dense descriptions into vivid imagery—ornithopters slicing through the desert sky, the oppressive vastness of the sands, and the stark contrast between House Atreides and House Harkonnen all feel instantly real and immersive. What really shines is how the graphic format clarifies complex scenes and political dynamics without oversimplifying them. Key moments that can be challenging to picture in the prose novel become immediately understandable, helping readers grasp both the physical environment and the emotional weight of the story. Paul’s journey, the looming threat on Arrakis, and the undercurrent of destiny are all conveyed with clarity and restraint. This is an ideal companion for longtime fans who want a richer visual grounding of the story, as well as for newcomers who may find the original novel intimidating. Faithful, beautifully illustrated, and thoughtfully paced, ‘Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book One’ enhances the experience of Herbert’s masterpiece rather than replacing it and it leaves you eager for the next volume.

    A good rendering of the source material.
    Format: Hardcover
    I was fifteen the first time I read Frank Herbert’s classic, Dune. I was immediately swept away to his universe, and my imagination was immediately fed! Oh, what a diet of sight, sound, color, emotion, politics, warfare, and religion he fed me! The movie of this book (before there was one) unraveled in my mind, and I ingested every moment. It was such a delicious experience that I decided right then and there that I would revisit this wonderful place. Since that moment in 1981, there have been two movies, a miniseries, a graphic novel, and various other stories, as well as Frank Herbert’s son continuing the series with science Fiction author, Kevin J. Anderson. All of which is good. Please note I said good. With the exception of the continuing series by Herbert and Anderson, the images provided have not really lived up to what my imagination conjured up so long ago (and even now, since I am giving the original a re-read.), but that is not a knock against this book. Dune: The Graphic Novel is a lovely work of art. The art in it is simple, yet beautiful. Each page was deliciously drawn and colored and added to what my imagination conjured up. The pages are thick in this book, which made me feel like I was skipping ahead, but in reality, I wasn’t. A major plus for this book is that it brought back all of those feeling from when I first read Frank Herbert’s novel. I am looking forward to getting my hands on volume 2. It is on several wish lists, and my wife knows what a Dune fan I am. All in all I give this book 4.5 bookmarks out of 5!
