Indirect Bonding Procedures in Orthodontics - A Review

Abstract

Indirect bonding (IDB) has been in orthodontic practice for more than 35 years. But still, most of the clinicians use direct bonding procedures. The main reason for this may be technique sensitivity and requirement of extra laboratory procedures, increasing the cost of the treatment. Many researchers have tried their methods to describe the indirect bonding procedures so that it can reduce the chair side time required for complete appliance placement with more precise bracket positioning. Moreover, the IDB procedures provide more patient comfort. Many techniques have been described in the article to simplify the IDB procedures. *Corresponding author: Dr. Aggarwal P, DB.D.S., M.D.S.
