INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Clean and sandblast enamel, rinse and dry. Etch the enamel for 30 seconds. Rinse and dry.

2. Apply a coat of Assure® Plus to the etched enamel. Gently air dry.

3. Place a minimal amount of L.C.R.™ GoTo™ or Flow Tain™ onto the lingual surface of each tooth.

   a. Position the Ortho FlexTech® strand into the applied adhesive (“coating layer”) on the lingual surface of the teeth. Position for optimal adhesion and ensure no slack appears anywhere along the chain.
   b. Alternative method: Place one end of the Ortho FlexTech® chain into the applied adhesive (“base layer”) on the lingual surface of the canine. Position for best alignment and light cure to secure. Continue to the next tooth, removing any slack in the wire. Repeat this process until reaching the opposite canine.

4. Apply a “coating layer” of L.C.R.™ GoTo™ or FlowTain™ over the light-cured material to fully cover the Ortho FlexTech™ wire. Light cure the coating layer on each bonded tooth.

5. Check for occlusal interference between upper and lower teeth. Carefully polish any rough or raised areas.

NOTE

If used in the upper arch to maintain spacing between the central incisors, consider using a secondary .0175 twisted wire from 1 to 1, or Retainium™, as the wire may stretch slightly, allowing the space to reopen.
