Digital Indirect Bonding: Enhancing Orthodontic Precision, Accuracy, and Efficiency.

The original procedures for indirect bonding of brackets to teeth were developed in the 1970’s, however the technique never gained widespread adoption.

Course Description: The original procedures for indirect bonding of brackets to teeth were developed in the 1970’s, however the technique never gained widespread adoption. The recent development of digital indirect bonding systems and the advantages they provide is generating a renewed interest in the field. This presentation will discuss the features of a digital indirect bonding system and the rationale for incorporating indirect bonding into a modern orthodontic practice.

Learning Objectives:

This course aims at teaching learners how to:

Explore the evolution of bonding techniques with a focus on indirectbonding and its modern adaptations through digital systems.
Learn how to effectively incorporate digital indirect bonding systems into everyday workflows to improve outcomes and streamline processes.*
Review case studies to illustrate real-world benefits of digital indirect bonding.*
Discuss potential pitfalls and solutions when transitioning into an indirect bonding system.
