A Faster, More Comfortable Start to Braces
At AW Orthodontics, Dr. Ariel Wong uses indirect bonding to place your braces more quickly and precisely than traditional methods. This means a faster appointment and a more comfortable start to your treatment.
What Is Indirect Bonding?
Indirect bonding is a modern approach to placing braces that focuses on precision, comfort, and efficiency. Instead of positioning each bracket directly on your teeth during your appointment, Dr. Wong maps out your treatment in advance and places the brackets on a model of your teeth.
Once everything is in place, a custom tray is used to transfer the brackets to your teeth all at once. The result is a quicker appointment and a more comfortable experience.
The Benefits of Indirect Bonding
Indirect bonding isn’t just a behind-the-scenes upgrade — it makes a noticeable difference in your experience from the very beginning. Here’s how this modern approach benefits your treatment.
Faster Appointments
Because your brackets are pre-positioned in a custom tray, they can be placed all at once instead of one at a time. That means less time in the chair and a more efficient start to your treatment.
More Comfortable Experience
Spending less time with your mouth open and fewer adjustments during placement makes your bonding appointment more comfortable — especially for younger patients or anyone who feels anxious in the chair.
Greater Precision
Brackets are placed on a model of your teeth in a controlled setting, allowing for highly accurate positioning. This level of precision supports more predictable outcomes and may even shorten treatment time.
Smoother Start to Treatment
Everything is carefully planned in advance, so your treatment starts on the right track. With every bracket in the right place, there’s less need for early adjustments.
Cleaner, More Efficient Process
Using a custom transfer tray means less adhesive mess and an improved bond between each bracket and tooth. This creates a cleaner placement and a more reliable hold.
