Methods of debonding ceramic brackets.
The problem of debonding ceramic brackets is still one which concerns the orthodontist. It is advisable to use the manufacturers recommended method of debonding each particular type of bracket. The risks of using such brackets need to be carefully assessed against the benefits. Risks can be minimized by carefully assessing the patient and the dentition, avoiding heavily restored teeth with pre-existing enamel cracks. It would seem wise to obtain an informed consent from the patient having out-lined the potential problems.
