UDG Orthodontic Buccal Tubes (Pack of 50 Sets)

Prepare the Tooth: Ensure that the tooth surface where the buccal tube will be bonded is clean, dry, and free of any debris or contaminants. Clean the tooth surface using an appropriate dental adhesive and thoroughly dry it to ensure optimal bond strength.

Select the Buccal Tube: Choose the appropriate size and type of buccal tube based on the patient’s treatment plan and the specific requirements of the case.

Position the Buccal Tube: Using orthodontic tweezers or similar instruments, hold the buccal tube with the handling notch facing upwards. Position the tube on the desired tooth surface, ensuring proper alignment with the archwire slot and the occlusal anatomy of the tooth.

Apply Adhesive: Apply a small amount of orthodontic adhesive to the base of the buccal tube. Be sure to cover the entire bonding surface evenly with adhesive to ensure a secure bond to the tooth.

Place the Buccal Tube: Carefully place the buccal tube onto the prepared tooth surface, pressing firmly to ensure good contact between the adhesive and the tooth. Use appropriate pressure to seat the tube fully onto the tooth surface without dislodging it.

Cure the Adhesive: Activate the adhesive using a curing light.

Insert Archwire: Once the adhesive has fully cured, insert the archwire into the buccal tube’s funneled slot opening. Use gentle pressure to guide the wire into place, taking care not to damage the wire or dislodge the buccal tube.

Check and Adjust: After inserting the archwire, check for proper alignment and seating of the wire within the buccal tube. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper engagement and alignment of the wire with the brackets on the other teeth.

Repeat as Needed: Repeat the above steps for each tooth requiring a buccal tube as part of the orthodontic treatment plan.

Final Evaluation: Once all buccal tubes are placed and the archwire is secured, perform a final evaluation to ensure proper fit, alignment, and function of the orthodontic appliance. Make any necessary adjustments to optimize treatment outcomes and patient comfort.

Provide Post-Placement Instructions: Provide the patient with appropriate post-placement instructions, including oral hygiene guidelines, dietary restrictions, and information on how to care for their orthodontic appliances between visits.
