Orthodontic bracket adhesives are designed to hold brackets in the precise locations required for braces to properly move a patient's teeth. These adhesive systems must provide both the bond strength necessary to allow the wires to provide the appropriate force on teeth as well as the esthetics the patient requires. Bracket adhesives can contain fluoride to provide lasting benefits to the patient's teeth. They also offer a choice of different curing methods, so whether you prefer a light cure, self-cure, or dual-cure adhesive, it is important to follow the manufacturer recommendations for working and setting time.
