Ball attachments had already existed for many years: a metal ball and a retentive cap, also made of metal. But these attachments met with neither favour nor market. Hence the intuition to make the mechanism elastic, flatten the ball head and build a plastic cap. The idea was a winner and today this technique is one of the most widely used. Rhein83 has been in existence since 1983 and its products have various copies all over the world, copies that in many cases reflect the shapes of the objects but not the materials they are made of, so the functional result changes significantly.

Research is devoted to the study of new products, but also constantly to perfecting the functioning of those that have been in use for years. Dental brackets are small mechanisms in constant motion and stressed in an unpredictable manner, so they need to be maintained and updated. Some
of the products in the catalogue are made to maintain and restore functionality, in all prostheses, if necessary directly in the mouth of patients. Rhein83’s commitment, with its expertise continually enriched by external collaborations with dentists and dental technicians, is to improve current standards and develop new products through original designs.
