Driection to Use:

Prophylaxis: Using a rotary instrument with a rubber cup or brush, prophy the enamel surfaces to be bonded with plain pumice and water. Do not use prophy pastes which contain oil, as they can leave a film that will inhibit the etch. Rinse thoroughly and dry teeth with oil and moisture-free compressed air.

Etch: Isolate the teeth for etching. With a cotton pledget or brush, dab the Waldent BestEtch onto the entire area to be bonded. Do not rub the BestEtch on the enamel. Allow 30 seconds for etching (60 for deciduous teeth). Avoid placing BestEtch on soft tissue.

Rinse & Dry: Rinse thoroughly with water and spray combination to properly cleanse the enamel surface. Rinse each tooth with copious amounts of water for 5 seconds (10 seconds with gel etch) to stop the etching process and remove demineralized particles. Re-isolate and dry teeth thoroughly. The etched area should appear frosty white. If not, re-etch for an additional 20 seconds.

Application of Primer : With a brush, apply a thin uniform layer of Orthobond primer to the etched enamel.

Application of Paste : Using a spatula, apply the Orthbond paste and work it into the bracket base. Place bracket on the tooth and press in the desired position. Light cure from the incisal edge for 10 seconds and then 10 additional seconds from the gingival, mesial or distal bracket edge. The light director must be placed as close to the bracket base as possible during curing.  
Once the Orthobond paste has been properly cured, an active arch wire can be placed immediately.

Note: Curing times depend on the intensity of the curing light.
