title: Indirect bonding technique.
abstract: Accurate bracket placement is the key for the successful treatment of an orthodontic case. With indirect bonding, not only is the bracket placement more accurate but this technique also significantly reduces chairtime. In this article, the author explains use of thermal glue in an indirect bonding technique. In cases of constricted arches, a modified rapid maxillary expander can be used along with indirect bonding to reduce overall treatment time.
