Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because brackets cannot be used with conventional cements,they must be bonded to the enamel using adhesive materials.Orthodontic brackets have replaced bands for many uses,especially in the anterior part of the mouth.Self-cured,light-cured,or dual-cured adhesive bonding resins can be used for bonding orthodontic brackets.Because the metal or ceramic material will not allow light to reach and cure the resin cement directly under the bracket,the light is cast from mesial,distal,and lingual,as well as facial,directions to cure the resin with light that has passed through the enamel.With the indirect method for application of brackets,brackets are aligned on the diagnostic cast in the same position as they will be placed on the teeth and held with sticky wax.Then a matrix is formed over the brackets and the teeth on the cast.The brackets are picked up in the matrix and at the time of bonding are oriented in the same manner on the teeth as they were previously on the cast.
