At Bastian Orthodontics, we’re committed to offering the latest advancements in orthodontic care to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. One of these advancements is indirect bonding, a technique that enhances precision and comfort during the orthodontic treatment process.
What is Indirect Bonding?
Indirect bonding is a method used by Dr. Neal Bastian (a board-certified orthodontist & top 1% Invisalign provider), to place braces on teeth with exceptional accuracy. Instead of attaching each bracket directly to the teeth, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error, we digitally create customized trays or templates beforehand. Here’s how indirect bonding works:
- Customized Trays: Your orthodontist designs trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. These trays are made based on precise 3D models of their mouth.
- Bracket Placement: Brackets (the small squares that hold the wires in braces) are carefully placed on the trays according to the treatment plan carefully designed by Dr. Bastian. Utilizing the latest in digital treatment technology allows us to see the future position of the teeth as we plan your bracket placement.
- Tray Placement: During your appointment, the trays are fitted to your teeth. The brackets are then transferred directly onto the teeth from the trays in one efficient step.
Benefits of Indirect Bonding
Indirect bonding offers several benefits for our patients on their smile journey!
- Precision: Each bracket is placed in the exact position needed, ensuring more accurate tooth alignment from the very beginning. This means less adjustment appointments are needed down the road!
- Efficiency: The process is faster than traditional bonding methods, reducing the time spent in the chair during appointments. With this streamlined process, all of the prep work is completed before you arrive for your appointment. Getting your braces on has never been easier!
- Comfort: Patients often experience less discomfort during and after the bonding process because it’s done with meticulous care.
