Bracket and bonding innovations continue to enhance efficiency, precision, and patient comfort. From custom systems to simplified adhesives, today’s options support more streamlined workflows. This roundup highlights what’s new in bracket and bonding solutions for orthodontic practices.
Allure Ortho
Allure Ortho is proud to introduce the new SMOOTH SL passive self-ligating bracket. Designed with patient comfort in mind, SMOOTH SL offers smooth, rounded edges and a low profile. The slot and door have the same width, making the torque more accurate and stable. The strong, easy to open/close door can be opened with an explorer, and closed with your fingers. The tooth number will be laser marked on the base of every bracket for easy identification. Your patients will love the new SMOOTH SL!
KLOwen
The KLOwen Custom Digital Solution combines the precision of digital indirect bonding with the power of a custom prescription—delivered through our software and full portfolio of custom brackets. This clinically driven approach streamlines your fixed appliance workflow by reducing repositioning appointments, shortening doctor and patient chair time, and improving control throughout treatment. With custom braces and a digital workflow designed for efficiency, KLOwen helps orthodontists treat more effectively and predictably.
Ormco
Ormco EtchFree Bonding is a revolutionary bonding solution designed to make your job easier. The fully moisture-tolerant orthodontic bonding system completely eliminates acid etching from orthodontic bonding: optimizing your bonding workflow, saving you time on every case, providing bond reliability throughout treatment, and helping to preserve enamel health for your patients. Ormco offers demos of its EtchFree Bonding technology.
American Orthodontics
Ensuring excellent oral hygiene is crucial, especially for those with braces. While you can meticulously plan treatments, place brackets, and have thorough discussions with patients and parents, you can’t supervise brushing routines at home. That’s where BracePaste Fluoride Sealant can help. This innovative sealant releases fluoride onto the enamel and recharges throughout treatment. It also glows under UV light, allowing you to easily check its presence during the entire treatment period. While you can’t accompany your patients home, BracePaste Fluoride Sealant can offer the continuous protection they need.
Solventum
Simplify bonding with APC Flash-Free Adhesive, designed to eliminate flash cleanup and reduce chair time. When paired with Clarity Digital Bonding, you get a streamlined, efficient workflow that enhances accuracy and patient comfort. Enjoy the confidence of consistent bond strength and reduced variability, all while optimizing your practice’s efficiency.
GC Orthodontics
GC’s new IDB system features TOMY brackets and wires, trusted by orthodontists for more than 50 years for their consistent and reliable clinical performance. This proven system brings predictability to digital orthodontic treatment time, transitioning the ChairShare conversation from months to hours of doctor time. The GC IDB system also includes Ortho Connect, an adhesive designed perfectly for IDB. Ortho Connect offers optimal viscosity, one-step bonding with built-in primer, and strong, reliable bond strength.
WildSmiles
WildSmiles makes hygiene compliance part of the fun with our new Brush to See the Shape program. By brushing clean to reveal the bracket shape underneath, kids know when they’re doing a good job—and parents do too. This simple, effective tool turns bonding into a built-in motivator, helping practices attract the largest and most loyal orthodontic consumers: kids and shopping moms.
Smile Stream Solutions
Step-1 PumEtch is a breakthrough innovation that combines pumice and etchant into one liquid solution. Step-1 PumEtch is not a self-etching primer or adhesion booster. It is a self-cleaning etchant that saves time and money by eliminating the need for pumice, prophy cups, slow speed handpieces and sterilization. Step-1 PumEtch comes in a 10 mL bottle, as well as a kit, good enough for 600 applications. Try it today or contact Smile Stream Solutions for more information.
TP Orthodontics
TPO brackets are available with Readi-Base pre-applied adhesive for convenient placement right out of the package. Chair time is reduced, brackets place easily without drift and minimal clean-up is required. Available on select TPO metal and aesthetic brackets.
LeoneAmerica Dental Products Inc
Leone InterActive SL Brackets offer a comfortable treatment experience. The specific design allows modulation to the most appropriate level of friction force between bracket and wire, and ensures efficient clinical management with progressive biomechanical control throughout the entire treatment. Made of biomedical steel, laser welded on the 80-mesh gauge base with FDI identification.
DynaFlex
Atlas Low-Profile Bondable Tubes are crafted from durable 17-4 stainless steel and feature deep undercut wings, 80-gauge mesh pads, and integrated hooks for secure tie placement. Designed for precision, they include buccal indents for accurate positioning, a funnel-shaped mesial opening for easy wire insertion, and anatomical bases for superior retention. Available in convertible and non-convertible options, each tube is color-coded and marked with Palmer notation for quick, easy identification.
Ortho Shop
Discover the best of both worlds with the Lucchesi Sub-Slot bracket. At the beginning of treatment, it offers low friction and rapid tooth movement like a self-ligating bracket, using the sub-slot. During the later stages, full wire engagement for optimum torque expression is achieved through the top slot, functioning like a conventional twin bracket. Benefits include rapid tooth alignment, which is achieved in 8 to 12 weeks using only one wire and reduced chair time.

Designed to optimize precision and efficiency, this system empowers clinicians with early torque expression, reduced treatment time, and exceptional smile aesthetics.
