Recommended adhesives
A good adhesive bond between the bracket and the tooth surface is particularly important in the case of lingual treatment. Your chosen  product should be particularly suitable for light polymerization. In the indirect bonding process, this leaves sufficient time to carefully apply the transfer media. If the caps are only glued individually, or are glued together in a tray mold, you decide the timing of the curing process. Taking this approach ensures a precision bond.

•  Moist surfaces
•  Pre-treated surfaces   (e.g. fluoride varnish)
•  Remineralized enamel and  similar material

3M Unitek — Transbond LR
Transbond LR offers the optimum consistency for molding individual bracket bases in the event that rebonding is required.

3M Unitek — Transbond Supreme LV
Transbond Supreme LV is a low-viscosity light cure adhesive available pre-packed in syringes. This form of application makes the adhesive easy and economical to use. The material is the medium of choice when it comes to applying a thin layer of adhesive onto the prepared composite bases of the brackets. Even additions to the composite bases, where necessary, are best made using this adhesive.
