About bonding adhesives
The FDA describes a bracket adhesive resin and tooth conditioner as an adhesive compound intended to cement an orthodontic bracket to a tooth surface, a Class II device (21 CFR 872.3750). The etching acid demineralises enamel at varying rates, creating microporosities and an uneven surface that allows strong micromechanical adhesion. The design of the bracket base also affects the bond strength; bases include beaded, large-round-pitted, irregular and metal mesh.
A bracket is fixed to the tooth so that the archwire can act on it: the FDA describes the orthodontic plastic bracket as a plastic device bonded to a tooth to apply pressure from a flexible orthodontic wire and alter the tooth’s position, a Class II device (21 CFR 872.5470). The orthodontic metal bracket and the orthodontic tube are listed instead inside the Class I orthodontic appliance and accessories (21 CFR 872.5410). ISO 27020 covers brackets and tubes for fixed appliances, with requirements and test methods for their functional dimensions and their chemical ion release, as well as packaging and labelling.
Conditioning the enamel is needed to get a surface that can hold the cement. Treatment with brackets is commonly associated with white spot lesions, reported mostly in 24 to 72.9 percent of patients, against 11 to 24 percent of people not in treatment.
How brackets, bonding adhesives and cements differ
- Brackets — The part bonded to the tooth, described in one study as a precision medical device. A narrative review reports no observed variation in the duration of treatment by bracket type, whether metallic or ceramic, conventional or self-ligating.
- Bonding Adhesives — The resin that holds a bracket on the tooth, used after the enamel has been conditioned. Bonding a bracket to a ceramic surface fails more often than bonding to enamel, and calls for a different etching protocol because ceramics resist acid.
- Cements — Used to fix a band or an appliance to the tooth rather than to bond a bracket. Fluoride release from the cements in one study was at its highest at 24 hours.
What to look at when choosing
Slot accuracy: in a study of 360 steel brackets from 12 makers, every system but one differed significantly from the declared slot value, four systems fell outside the ISO 27020 tolerance limits, and in most systems the slot height was oversized. The same study found significant variability between manufacturing batches and concluded that the dimensional accuracy of metal brackets on the market is not guaranteed.
Appearance over time: ceramic brackets showed extremely marked colour changes and reduced light transmittance after three months in the mouth, whatever their crystal structure.
Friction: a comparative analysis found passive self-ligating brackets had significantly lower frictional resistance than conventional ones, primarily because no elastic or metal ligature is used.
Fluoride: release rates in the range of 200 to 300 micrograms per square centimetre per month are considered sufficient to inhibit enamel demineralisation.
