3M Transbond Plus Color Change Bonding Adhesive
A light cure, colour changing orthodontic adhesive for metal and ceramic brackets, supplied in capsules or syringes for direct bonding.
3M Transbond Plus Color Change Adhesive is a direct bonding orthodontic adhesive that changes colour once light cured, giving the orthodontist and assistant a visual cue to confirm the adhesive has set and to make flash clean-up around the bracket base easier to see and complete accurately. It is suitable for bonding both metal and ceramic brackets, making it a versatile choice for practices that treat cases using a mix of bracket materials rather than a single system.
The adhesive is moisture tolerant, which supports confident bonding even in clinical situations where a completely dry field is hard to maintain throughout the procedure. It is supplied in either capsule or syringe delivery formats, letting practices choose the dispensing method that best fits their existing bonding workflow and instrumentation.
Orthodontic practices bonding brackets directly, rather than through an indirect transfer tray, commonly keep a color change adhesive like this one as part of their standard bonding kit, since the visual set indicator and reliable moisture tolerance help maintain consistent bond quality across a full day of bonding appointments.
