Reference Manual
for Indirect Bonding

Several Benefits of Indirect Bonding
Certainly the primary advantage associated with indirect bonding is accuracy in bracket placement. Having the advantage of placing brackets on a construction model instead of the patient has always made sense from a positioning standpoint. Another advantage discussed in many practices is the efficiency in delivering the brackets at the initial appointment. Some offices report as little as half the doctor’s time required for bonding, when using indirect compared to the direct method. In addition, when done properly, indirect bonding offers an extremely clean and hygienic method of placing brackets.
