3M Transbond Supreme LV Low Viscosity Adhesive

3M Transbond Supreme LV Adhesive is a low viscosity, flowable orthodontic adhesive designed primarily for indirect bonding of brackets to teeth, along with other clinical situations that call for a flowable light cure adhesive. Its formulation is designed to flow readily when dispensed into place around the bracket base or tray, while still holding its position without running or sagging before the clinician applies the curing light.

This balance of flow and stability is particularly useful in indirect bonding, where the adhesive needs to settle evenly under the bracket during tray seating without dripping away from the intended bonding site. Orthodontic practices running indirect bonding protocols use flowable adhesives like this one because the technique benefits from a material that can adapt to slight surface irregularities on the tooth and bracket base without needing to be repositioned or reworked.

As with other indirect bonding materials, this adhesive is generally used alongside a corresponding primer and is chosen specifically for its flow characteristics rather than for standard direct bonding of individual brackets one at a time.
