Indirect Bonding
Indirect Bonding allows for a quicker installation process and ensures proper bracket placement on each individual tooth.
Benefits
Shorter Bonding Time: Indirect bonding reduces the total time spent on the bonding process by 30 minutes, as it eliminates the need to decide the location of the brackets during the procedure.
Ease of Overcorrection Adjustment: Indirect bonding allows for more precise control over the correction of tooth rotation, facilitating millimetric adjustments to bracket position based on the initial treatment evaluation.
Adjustment of Resin Thickness: Indirect bonding technique allows for uniform resin thickness across all teeth from the start, preventing alignment issues, contact problems, and in-out discrepancies, particularly in the lower anterior teeth.
Customization of Bracket Position: Indirect bonding enables precise adjustment of vertical bracket positions, especially beneficial in deep-bite cases, ensuring stable results from the beginning.
Compatibility with Ceramic Brackets: Given the challenging adhesion properties of ceramic brackets, indirect bonding simplifies the determination of their correct positioning at the treatment’s outset.
Increased Treatment Stability: Indirect bonding may lead to more permanent results by facilitating the early reorganization of periodontal fibers, thus reducing the risk of treatment relapse.
Enhanced Patient Comfort: The reduced duration of the bonding process with indirect bonding not only improves patient compliance but also minimizes the risk of saliva contamination.
Ergonomic Benefits for Clinicians: Shorter bonding times can help preserve clinicians’ posture and reduce physical stress, contributing to a healthier working environment.
Recommended Use
Efficiency and Time Savings: For both patients and clinicians seeking to reduce chair time and improve clinic flow, indirect bonding is recommended. It allows for the entire arch or both arches to be prepared and bonded in a fraction of the time it would take with direct bonding.
Improved Precision and Accuracy: When exact bracket placement is essential for treatment success, such as in cases requiring intricate tooth movements or when using advanced orthodontic systems (like customized lingual orthodontics), indirect bonding is advised.
Deep Bite Correction: In cases where vertical bracket positioning is critical, such as in deep bite corrections, indirect bonding allows for precise bracket placement to facilitate bite opening.
Enhanced Aesthetics and Patient Comfort: Indirect bonding is recommended for patients concerned about the aesthetics of their orthodontic treatment and those who wish to minimize the discomfort and duration of bonding appointments.
Reducing Risks of Contamination: Because indirect bonding is quicker and involves less manipulation in the mouth, it’s recommended in situations where reducing the risk of contamination is a priority, such as patients with high salivary flow or difficulty maintaining oral hygiene.
Special Needs Patients: For patients who may have difficulty tolerating longer clinical procedures, such as young children or individuals with special needs, indirect bonding can provide a faster and less stressful experience.
