Indirect Bonding

Indirect Bonding (IDB) is a technique for applying braces faster and more accurately than traditional methods. Traditionally, individual brackets are applied directly to your teeth one at a time, which can be uncomfortable and time consuming. With the IDB technique, impressions of your teeth are taken to be used to put brackets (braces) on. Brackets are placed ideally to your dental impressions in a precise and controlled laboratory environment. A soft plastic mold is then made from the models with the brackets to capture their position.

When you come for your braces appointment, all of the brackets are simultaneously applied to your teeth. This technique is much faster and more precise than traditional methods so you spend less time in the chair during your braces application appointment.

Benefits of Indirect Bonding:

• Faster placement of brackets - less time you spend in the chair to put braces on
• Precise placement of brackets
• Less repositioning of brackets
• Greater comfort
• Less trauma to the patient

	Brackets (braces) placed on models prior to your appointment
	Mold of brackets on models to capture precise position
	Brackets placed on your teeth all at one time for greater comfort and reduce chair time.
