Clarity Precision Grip Attachments

Isolate teeth using a dry field system. 

1. Prophy teeth where attachments will be bonded with an oil-free pumice or paste.
2. Rinse with water and dry teeth thoroughly.

Note: Do not allow teeth to become re-contaminated with saliva before applying the Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer.

1. Apply Unitek™ Etching Gel System or another phosphoric acid etching agent for 15 seconds where attachments will be bonded.
2. Rinse with water and dry teeth thoroughly.

Note: Do not allow teeth to become re-contaminated with saliva before applying the Transbond™ Plus Self Etching Primer.

1. After thoroughly mixing the Transbond Self-Etching Primer, rub the saturated tip of the applicator onto the tooth surface where the attachments will be bonded. Continue rubbing bonding agent onto enamel while applying some pressure for a minimum of 3-5 seconds per tooth.
2. Re-dip applicator in reservoir to saturate tip before applying the bonding agent on the next tooth.
3. Deliver a gentle air burst for 1-2 seconds to each tooth to evenly disperse bonding agent into a film.

Note: Do NOT cure the bonding agent prior to seating the tray.

1. Using a superfine microbrush, apply a bead of the bonding agent to the back of the attachment only. 
2. Avoid allowing the bonding agent to run onto the surrounding surfaces.
3. Re-dip applicator in reservoir to saturate tip before applying the bonding agent on the next attachment.

Note: Do NOT cure the bonding agent prior to seating the tray.

1. Position tray into patient’s mouth.
2. Start at most distal attachment on one side of the arch, bond attachments one at a time working towards the midline.
3. Apply gentle occlusal finger-pressure in a lingual to buccal direction to the support structures of the attachment before turning on the light.
4. Light cure each attachment for a minimum of 6 seconds using the Ortholux™ Luminous Curing Light or for a minimum of 10 seconds using the Elipar™ Curing Light.

Note: If using a curing light from another manufacturer, reference and follow that manufacturer’s instructions for use related to the proper curing light techniques.

1. Break the support structures away from the attachments by rolling the tray from the lingual to the buccal surface. Do NOT remove tray vertically.
2. If an attachment remains in the tray, it can be bonded a second time.

1. Confirm the secure bond of each attachment.
2. Check for any residual sprue support structures and remove using a sharp scaler. Avoid applying force that pulls the residual sprue away from the tooth.
3. Remove any excess material from the tooth if needed using a scaler, polishing disc or bur.

Note: Repeat steps 3-7 for an opposing arch.
