How Are Braces Put On?
Indirect Bonding
At MB Orthodontics, we have a unique method of placing the braces on your teeth; indirect bonding. This technique is not only more precise but makes the banding procedure faster and more comfortable for you – requiring less chair time. Our indirect bonding method places all of the brackets (braces) on your teeth at the same time, unlike the traditional method of applying braces one tooth at a time. All of the precise positioning of your brackets is done behind the scenes by Dr Barva on a model of your teeth instead of in your mouth. This makes having your braces put on a much quicker, easier, and more pleasant experience.

What is the process?
Once you have decided to proceed with braces, a half-hour appointment will be arranged to take records of your teeth. Our dental technician prepares models which are an exact replica of your teeth. This allows Dr Barva to closely examine each tooth and position the brackets precisely to achieve perfect results. Another appointment will be arranged (usually 1–2 weeks later) for you to have the braces bonded.
The banding procedure feels like you are having mouthguards fitted. In fact, they are soft plastic trays which have all of your brackets embedded in them. The brackets are prepared with some orthodontic glue, and the trays are placed over your teeth. Once the glue has set, the trays are removed, leaving the braces fixed to your teeth. Next, the archwire is attached to the brackets with tiny “o” rings (called modules), and your teeth begin to move very gently and slowly.
