Bond with precision and efficiency

Reduce chair time and eliminate adhesive clean up by adopting 3M™ Digital Bonding and 3M™ APC™ Flash-Free Adhesive Pre-Coated Brackets into your practice.

Digital Bonding leverages digital treatment design to facilitate efficient and accurate bracket placement according to the predetermined treatment plan. APC Flash-Free Pre-Coated Brackets have a 60% lower bond failure rate than the industry average. This innovative combination can streamline your bonding procedure and ensure a smooth patient experience.

First, Solventum technicians design a custom treatment plan based on the patient-specific details provided on the prescription page of Oral Care Portal.

Upon doctor approval, we manufacture the custom trays and ship them to your office. Trays may be loaded up to four days before the bonding appointment if stored in the provided light-tight box.

At the bonding appointment, a full arch of brackets can be bonded in a single step. APC Flash-Free Pre-Coated Brackets eliminate the need to remove excess adhesive from the teeth.
