3M Transbond XT Orthodontic Bonding Adhesive

3M Transbond XT is widely regarded as the gold standard in orthodontic bonding adhesives, used by orthodontists worldwide for the direct bonding of metal and ceramic brackets in fixed appliance therapy. Its light-cured formula provides the clinician with complete control over working time — brackets can be positioned and adjusted before the adhesive is cured, eliminating the time pressure associated with chemically cured systems. Once cured with a standard dental curing light, Transbond XT delivers exceptional bond strengths that provide reliable bracket retention throughout the course of orthodontic treatment, even under the significant forces generated during active tooth movement. Its thixotropic consistency holds the bracket firmly in position before curing without slumping or flow, ensuring the bracket remains precisely placed after initial seating. Excess adhesive is easy to remove from bracket margins before curing, simplifying cleanup and reducing the risk of adhesive remnants causing plaque retention. Compatible with all 3M orthodontic brackets and most third-party metal brackets.
