One Step System:
No need to apply primer or adhesive on the tooth, as it is already incorporated into the paste.
A simple etching of the enamel followed by drying is enough to prepare the bracket or buccal tube for bonding.

1. Clean tooth surfaces with pumice and water. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
2. Etch the tooth surfaces with GC Ortho Etching Gel for 30 sec., rinse and dry. Porcelain-, metal-, composite-restored teeth should be treated with the appropriate conditioner.
3. Coat the bonding surface of the bracket with GC Ortho Connect paste.
4. Remove the excess adhesive using an explorer or scaler.
5. Cure each bracket for 10 seconds mesially and distally with an LED curing light.

In response to customer feedback we have further developed our Straight 8 wire for those orthodontists search for a ´dead soft´ retainer wire for chairside retainers. Sold on a 5ft reel.

Straight 8 retains the teeth in position at the end of orthodontic treatment. Flattened 8 strand braided wire is a lower profile than other leading brands, only 0.028" x 0.008". Contours easily to the lingual surface of the tooth. Straight 8 is compatible with all types of adhesive and cuts easily without fraying. Straight 8 has received excellent feedback on performance during our clinical trials.
