BONDING & DEBONDING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Bonding:
Follow Standard Band/Crown Appliance Bonding set up. The properties of this metal (316L) are similar to current bands/crowns therefore the bonding method is the same. Many different Glass ionomer or light-cured adhesives will work for bonding, however, we recommend using Reliance Ultra Band-Lok Light Cure Adhesive (DynaFlex® Item #18-UBBPP).
Recommended Steps:
Step 1: Ensure appliance fits patient properly prior to bonding.
Step 2: For stronger bond strength; micro-etch interior of band or wings.
Step 3: It is recommended to acid etch each tooth that will have bonding adhesive.
Step 4: Isolate and prep teeth in normal procedure.
Step 5: Use of bonding booster is recommended but is optional.
Step 6: Small ring of adhesive is placed around the occlusal surface of the crown/band and other surfaces touching teeth per design of appliance.
Step 7: Seat appliance. Use cotton roll or other seating accessory to fully seat appliance if necessary.
Step 8: Clean up flash.
Step 9: Light cure as needed per adhesive instructions.
Debonding:
Debond is similar to traditional band/crown debonding technique.
Recommended Steps:
Step 1: Use band/crown removal instrument (DynaFlex® Item #M-D444). Option: Slit the buccal side of crown with a bur for easy removal.
Step 2: Remove remaining adhesive and properly clean all tooth surfaces where bonding occurred.

“Banded appliance visits used to be kind of stressful. Now they’re predictable and relaxed. A couple seconds prepping the patient, a few more seconds placing the appliance, and the rest of the time covering patient education. Fits our workflow about as nicely as it fits in the mouth“
Dr. Christopher Cetta, DMD
Blue Wave Orthodontics
“I love the precise fit and digital workflow of the metal 3D printed appliances from DynaFlex®. Simply scan and then cement! No goopy impressions or separators needed. It’s a great way to differentiate your practice!“
