Bonding protocol - SMART TRAY™ & SMART CAP™ combination option

The tray is designed so that the fixed plastic caps are embedded within the silicone tray and easy designed to easily compensate for any positional deviation of the teeth (impression appointment–bonding appointment). 

Note regarding the full tray: If there is limited space for all caps to be bonded at once, then individual caps can be omitted accordingly, and can be either bonded individually or placed back in the silicon tray for 2nd bonding stage.

Full tray

Handling the full tray:

• After the bonding process (number of caps, segmentation) has been defined, the tooth  surfaces must be prepared accordingly
  
• Apply Transbond Supreme LV to the composite bases
  
• Position the tray. Hold in position on the row of teeth with a small amount of pressure
  
• Cure intensively with light (check curing light)
  

Every other tray

Handling an every other tray:

• The two trays are used one after the other. Only every second bracket is bonded in this procedure. The advantage is that there are optimal space conditions for light polymerization
• See also single tray 
• We recommend bonding molars separately

Removal of the silicon tray

The silicone tray is removed by its end from the ball heads of the quick base. Support this procedure with your finger, keeping the caps pressed down on the tooth surface from the vestibular.

Removal of SMART CAPS

Loosen the cap and the bracket cartridge from the tooth by moving from the outside to the inside. 

Important note:

The used caps must be cleaned with a disinfectant solution or alcohol and stored in the cap case after being removed from the oral cavity.  Do not discard the caps.
