A very simple presentation to show how we bond brackets with the indirect technique

1. Today is “bracketing day”!
A patient’ perspective

2. What you should know ….
Bracketing is a long and tedious procedure.
It is not painful, no needles are necessary.
It must be performed with great care to
insure an optimum result of your orthodontic
treatment

3. Precise bracket
placement is the most
important aspect in
orthodontic alignment,
after correct diagnosis
and treatment planning.

4. The duration of
treatment is usually
shorter in cases
where bracket
placement is optimal.
This is the reason
why we ask for your
patience during
bracket placement.

5. We place cheek retractors to insure
that your teeth will stay dry

6. We etch your teeth to make the
enamel frosty (15 seconds)

7. Each tooth is rinced for 15 seconds

Light “gun” to

bracket is properly positioned on the tooth
