Indirect Bonding: Improving the Braces Experience

RiteBite Orthodontics uses an indirect method of positioning your braces properly on your teeth, ultimately creating an ideal smile for you. Indirect bonding results in an increased level of precision, leading to ideal results much faster than you would with traditional methods. Traditional application of braces involved a long appointment, placing the braces on the teeth one at a time, directly in the mouth. The old method of placing braces directly on the teeth, one at a time, while the patient is in the dental chair is prone to inaccuracy and errors due to the inability to directly view the teeth properly and patient movement.

How does it work?

Once you have decided to proceed with orthodontic treatment, an appointment is arranged to take very accurate impressions of your teeth. The impressions are then poured and a model representation of your teeth is produced. The model of your teeth, allows Dr. Luis to examine your teeth from every angle imaginable, for precision positioning of your braces. Dr. Luis then positions your braces on your tooth model.


What does treatment with indirect bonding mean to you?

With the indirect bonding system, the top and bottom braces are placed as a single unit, rather than tooth-by-tooth, resulting in a much shorter and pleasant appointment the day you receive your braces. The treatment results generated by this method enable exceptional accuracy when positioning braces, because Dr. Luis is able to fine tune bracket placement with unmatched precision. Because of increased accuracy, patient cases using indirect bonding progress much faster than usual, meaning less time in braces and patients also have to undergo fewer adjustment appointments. This means less disruption to your everyday life.
