How do you bond brackets?

Answer 1

Teeth Bonding Teeth bonding can be used to treat a variety of dental problems. People with teeth that are chipped, crooked, cracked, stained and gapped can all benefit from bonding and this sort of treatment is sometimes even used to repair teeth that have been damaged due to decay. In the past few years bonding has also become a popular alternative to silver amalgam fillings, which most people consider to be ugly and out of date. The actual procedure involves having an etching solution applied to the teeth that creates slight grooves in them that facilitates the application of resin layers. Composite resin is applied in coats and each coat is hardened immediately with a high-intensity light. Layers of resin are applied until a desired thickness is reached and then the teeth are sculpted and polished. There are two types of bonding available and the severity of each patient

Answer 2

There are many steps to bond orthodontic brackets but usually this is the process: First the teeth are cleaned using pumice to remove any debris. Second the teeth are acid etched between 15 and 40 seconds, and the teeth are given a good rinse followed by a blast of air to dry them. Next, a bonding agent is placed on the tooth surface where the bracket is going to be placed, and on the back of the bracket as well. Some clinics will place ortho cement on the back of the bracket for better adhesion. Finally the operator places the bracket directly on the prepared tooth surface, adjusts it as necessary, and light cures it to set the bracket it place.
