Abstract

Orthodontic bonding techniques continue to evolve with the ever-changing population. With the demand for orthodontic treatment increasing, the specialty is regularly presented with restored dentitions, anterior crowns, bleached teeth, as well as those presenting with developmental conditions, such as fluorosis and amelogenesis imperfecta. Reduced orthodontic bond strength can lead to failure of the appliance and in turn lead to prolonged treatment times and patient dissatisfaction. This article aims to summarize the recommended methods for bonding and give an updated review of optimizing techniques. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Adequate bracket bond strength is an essential part of orthodontic treatment, to prevent breakages and reduce treatment time and risk factors.
