Overview

In the past, the best clinical results were achieved by orthodontists who had the best wire bending skills. However, ""the best results in the present and in future will be achieved by those orthodontists who are best at accurate bracket positioning""For the past 50 years, since the introduction of acid etching by Buonocore in 1955, major improvements were achieved in bonding brackets to the teeth. In 1964, Newman first tried to bond orthodontic brackets to teeth using acid etch technique and an epoxy-derived resin.A well known fact that many orthodontists will believe; that the brackets can be positioned more accurately on the study models than directly on teeth in the mouthIndirect bonding when described in the strictest sense, is a technique in which orthodontic brackets or other attachments are transferred from dental casts (otherwise described as working models) and bonded onto the dentition using a transfer device.Indirect bonding was first described in detail as a concept in 1972 by Silverman and Cohen.
