FAMILIAR WITH INDIRECT BONDING?
Indirect bonding makes bonding orthodontic brackets as easy as seating a bleaching tray. Our bracket specialists properly position brackets on models of your patient’s teeth. A dual layer of bonding tray is then fabricated and included in your Short Term Ortho Patient Kit™.
Simply etch the teeth, apply patient bonding agent, add some flowable composite to the bracket bases, seat the trays in the mouth, and cure. Then, when the trays are peeled away, the braces have been bonded into position. Indirect bonding greatly reduces chair time, and it dramatically increases profitability.

The indirect bonding trays make bracket application incredibly simple. After the trays are seated and the brackets have been light-cured, the two layers of the tray are easily removed. This greatly minimizes chair time and relieves stress for staff and patients.
