title: The direct way of indirect bonding--the combined effect.
abstract: The placement of orthodontic bonded brackets may be accomplished by either a direct or indirect technique. Most orthodontists will agree that brackets can be positioned more accurately on study casts than directly on teeth in the mouth. And, also direct bonding is more demanding to the orthodontist. Yet, very few orthodontists routinely use an indirect bonding technique. The reasons commonly given for not using the indirect method are difficulty in achieving consistent and predictable adhesion to the teeth, excess of composite around the bracket margins, failure to get all the brackets to adhere to the teeth e the expense of the materials. These disadvantages can be overcome by a new simplified method of bonding outlined in this article; additionally it has advantages of direct bonding also.
