Orthodontics

Adhesives play a crucial role in the success of orthodontic treatments by ensuring brackets remain attached to the teeth, allowing for effective and predictable tooth movement.

Surely, the adhesives are versatile and compatible with most of the braces. Also, aids in reliable bonding for better clinical outcomes.

Yes, it's an ongoing process and focused on improving bond strength, reducing application time, enhancing aesthetics, and minimizing enamel damage during debonding. These innovations contribute to more efficient and comfortable orthodontic treatments for patients.

There are several factors such as: - Proper enamel preparation Technique proficiency Patient compliance with oral hygiene, etc.

Not really, if the correct techniques are incorporated the orthodontic adhesives should not adversely affect tooth enamel. However, improper application or removal can potentially damage the enamel.

In this, the adhesive has the advantage of being both light-cured and self-cured. This gives a faster and more reliable process.

he ortho adhesive is attached to the buccal surface of the tooth in 70% of the cases and applied to the back of the orthodontic bracket, which is then positioned on the tooth and cured accordingly.

For a light-cured orthodontic adhesive, there is a need for curing light to harden, whereas, in a self-cured adhesive, there is no light required as it sets on its own.

The mechanism of action in the working of adhesives lies in the formation of a chemical or a mechanical bond between the tooth and bracket so that the treatment and movement of the tooth work according to the treatment plan.

During the orthodontic treatment, braces adhesive is used for the attachment between the tooth and braces.
