3. Apply Flow Tain™ to the retainer wire and light-cure.

Notes:

• The syringe is single-use only; use a new syringe for each patient to prevent cross-contamination.

• Light intensity varies by device; high-intensity lights require shorter curing times, while low-intensity lights may not be detectable by the eye. Avoid prolonged exposure of composite to ambient light to prevent premature curing.

• Composite can be pre-applied to brackets if shielded from light.

Precautions:

• Uncured composite may cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Avoid contact with skin; wash immediately with soap and water if contact occurs.

• Rinse thoroughly with water if contact with other tissues occurs.

• UV, halogen, and LED curing lights can damage eyes. Patients, clinicians, and assistants must wear appropriate protective eyewear during use.
