Direct Adhesive Bracket Bonding

Developments on better adhesives now enables brackets in braces to be more cleanly bonded to teeth surfaces. Traditional paste adhesives require flash cleanup that can leave uneven adhesive clumps around the edges of brackets. This means that food particles or plaque can accumulate or form.

With bonding such as the 3M APC adhesive used with unitek braces, there is a smooth meniscus when the adhesive coated bracket is seated. This seals the tooth surface around the edges of the bracket. Because the resin-soaked nonwoven mats adhere to the enamel, it is a more reliable bond and eliminates the process of flash removal
