4-Orthodontic Bonding Chapter 10.0: Bracket Placement Sequence
This section covers CHAPTER 10.0: Sequence of Bracket Placement. In this chapter a specific sequence of placing and curing brackets is recommended that reduces moisture contamination problems and allows balanced positioning of brackets on the right side and the left. This method uses efficient time management by maximizing the skills of the well-trained orthodontic assistant and requiring the doctor only for the critical step of final bracket positioning.

5-Orthodontic Bonding Chapter 10.5: Bracket Placement and Final Positioning for Ideal Alignment and Function
This course covers Chapter 10.5: Bracket Placement and Positioning. It includes tooth landmarks that may be used when positioning brackets during a direct bonding. These principles are similar to those used for positioning brackets in indirect bonding. Use of these principles by the doctor and all team members during direct bonding standardizes desired bracket positions so that all team members will “see” when a bracket is not in position and may need to be repositioned for more efficient treatment.
