High-Q-Bond Bracket
B.J.M. Laboratories Ltd. · source
Light-cure bracket adhesive system
Direct bonding of metal and ceramic orthodontic brackets to tooth surfaces
Properties
- Bonds chemically and mechanically for a superior bond, while flowing into the tightest mesh without bracket drift.
- A light-cure material - compatible with all curing units available on the market.
- Depth of cure is > 4 mm.
- Glass filled material designed specifically for orthodontic use that allows maximum penetration of filler into the finest screen mesh base.
- The viscosity of High-Q-Bond Bracket was designed to prevent adhesive run-on and bracket skating.
- Marketed since 2007 with no changes in formula. No complaints of any health-related or chemical performance issues were received.
