Device Story

Solo Ortho is a visible light-curable, methacrylate resin-based dental adhesive primer. It functions as a universal bonding agent for labial and lingual orthodontic brackets. The device is applied by dental professionals in a clinical setting to prepare tooth surfaces and restorative materials (enamel, dentin, composite, porcelain, metal) for bracket attachment. By forming both chemical and mechanical bonds, it enhances the adhesion of orthodontic brackets to the tooth or restorative surface. The clinician applies the primer, followed by the bracket, and cures it using a visible light source. This process secures the bracket to the tooth, facilitating orthodontic treatment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics
