Clinical Tip

NIC positions W+ as its alternative for WaveOne Gold users — matching Small-to-Large sizing, a 150°/30° WOG-compatible program, and its own Tunnel glide path file, documented by the manufacturer's draft IFU and catalog only. Choose WaveOne Gold for the extensively studied original with 200+ peer-reviewed papers, defined kinematics, and independent performance data.
