Abstract
Clinicians have sought an alternative to the traditional direct bonding of orthodontic attachments in their quest to attain more accurate and precise bracket positioning while simplifying chairside procedures. An indirect bonding technique of orthodontic attachments is presented. A thermal cure composite resin is used along with a flexible but sturdy inner and outer trays. The thermal cured composite provides a virtually unlimited working time for the placement of orthodontic attachments. This technique has been shown to be predictable and highly reproducible.
