Pad Lock

Reliance Orthodontic Products introduces Pad Lock, the latest breakthrough in the fight to reduce bond failures.

Pad Lock answers the question of how to get the best adhesion to the metal bracket base by coupling to the bracket base; however, unlike other light-cure pastes, Pad Lock is the first bracket adhesive that also chemically bonds to the metal bracket base. This chemical adhesion along with mechanical coupling to the base provides superior strength that greatly reduces failure at the bracket base. Pad Lock also fluoresces under a black light, so the paste is easier to see and remove during initial placement and when removing residual paste after removing the brackets.
