Key Features & Benefits

• Superior bond strength on all bracket types and in all clinical situations
• Patented fluoride-releasing monomer (available only in bottle versions)
• Smooth, creamy viscosity – highly tacky paste holds brackets firmly in place without drift → For lingual retainers or acrylic appliances requiring thinner consistency, use Light Bond™ Thin or Medium
• Contains special light-reflecting fillers and catalysts that guarantee complete cure under any bracket (metal, ceramic, sapphire, or plastic)
• Immediate archwire tie-in possible after proper light curing
• Designed with micro-fine glass fillers that fully penetrate even the finest mesh bases → maximum mechanical retention and easy, enamel-safe debonding without damage

Instructions for Use

1. Etch enamel with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds (15–20 sec for some ceramics). Rinse and dry completely.
2. Apply a thin layer of sealant/bond (e.g., Assure®, Assure Plus, or Light Bond Sealant) to the etched enamel with a brush or microbrush. Light-curing the sealant at this stage is optional but recommended to prevent bracket drift.
3. Apply Light Bond™ paste to the bracket base (pre-treated as per manufacturer instructions).
4. Seat bracket firmly in exact position.
5. Light-cure according to curing light instructions (typically 10 sec per side for LED/halogen units).
6. Immediate archwire placement is possible after curing.
