Indirect Bonding

The practice of indirect bonding starts with creating a mold of your teeth. This process only takes a few minutes and provides us with an exact replica of your mouth. From there, we get to work in our lab, where we create a 1:1 model of your teeth. We then go in and meticulously position each bracket precisely where it should go on each tooth. For the final step, we create a custom tray that allows us to transfer the brackets from the lab model to your teeth.

By taking the time to place the brackets in a proper position on the lab model, it eliminates the difficult process of placing orthodontic brackets directly on the teeth. It also takes much less time, is more comfortable, and causes fewer loose brackets. Once your custom tray is finished, your braces are ready to be installed. You'll come back into the office to have your custom tray fitted and your braces attached. Indirect bonding allows all of your brackets to be placed at once, taking the traditional braces installation time from around 40-60 minutes down to just 15-25 minutes!
