• Extrude a small amount of  enlight adhesive paste into the base of the bracket pad. After application, clean the tip and replace cap.
• Place the bracket onto the tooth surface immediately after applijng adhesive.\
• Adjust the bracket to its final position and press firmly.
• Remove the excess adhesive from the periphery of the brackets base.
• With Demetron’s optilux 501,  Expose the adhesive for 10 second for metal brackets, and 5 second for ceramic brackets. shining the light directly through the bracket bonds ceramic brackets. Divide the curing time and shine the light on the mesial and distal edges of the brackets to bond metal brackets.
