Orthodontics is the specially where teeth are moved in the desired direction by the application of orthodontic force. Bonding brackets on to the teeth is the first and the most critical step in starting the orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic bonding is based on the mechanical interlocking of an adhesive to the irregularity in the enamel surface and to the mechanical interlocks found in the base of the orthodontic attachment. In recent years, a lot of advancement have been made on the materials and techniques used for bonding so as to aid us in precisely positioning of the brackets on to the teeth. This book is about the history, current techniques and advancement in bonding materials and procedures.
