Preparation: Ensure the tooth surface is clean and free of debris. Prophylax the teeth with pumice and rinse thoroughly. Isolate the treatment area to control moisture.
Prepare the Adhesive: If using capsules, activate the capsule and dispense the adhesive onto a mixing pad. If using syringes, dispense a small amount of adhesive onto a mixing pad.
Bracket Preparation: Apply a thin coat of Transbond™ PLUS Adhesive to the base of the bracket.
Positioning: Carefully place the bracket onto the prepared tooth surface, ensuring proper alignment. Use the color change feature to confirm correct positioning.
Curing: Light-cure the adhesive using a dental curing light according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure adequate curing time for optimal bond strength.
Cleanup: Remove excess adhesive using a scaler or explorer. Use a dental floss or interproximal brush to clean around the brackets.
Final Cure: Perform a final light-cure to ensure complete polymerization of the adhesive.
Post-Bonding Instructions: Advise the patient on proper oral hygiene practices and any dietary restrictions.
Check and Adjust: Verify bracket placement and bond integrity. Make any necessary adjustments or re-bonding as needed.
