Ormco introduces Gr?ngloo™, a new two-way color-changing adhesive for metal brackets.

"With Gr?ngloo, clinicians have more flexibility than ever before when bonding metal brackets, including our popular Damon® 3MX and Titanium Orthos™," said Oliver Gelles, director of global marketing for Ormco. "Gr?ngloo is specially formulated to offer up to 185% more working time than other light-cure adhesives under ambient light conditions. This gives clinicians more time to position brackets and remove flash before light curing."

Gr?ngloo’s intelligent formula includes a quick-cure feature to help reduce chairtime while delivering greater initial bond strength. When a broad-spectrum curing light such as a halogen or Ormco’s CoolBeam™ LED is applied, Gr?ngloo cures in as little as 5 seconds.

The adhesive features a patented formula that increases impact resistance by 118%, reducing emergencies. In addition, Gr?ngloo’s "on demand" color contrast assists clinicians both at bonding and debonding. Green at bonding for easy flash removal, Gr?ngloo turns clear as it warms to body temperature during treatment. At debonding, clinicians can simply apply a short blast of cool air or water to the treatment area to revert Gr?ngloo to green again for easy and thorough cleanup.
