In orthodontics, "bonding" refers to the process of attaching brackets to the teeth. This is typically done using a special adhesive (bonding material) that is cured with a blue light. This process allows the brackets to stick directly to the enamel of the teeth, providing a base to which the archwire can be attached. The brackets have a small slot through which the archwire passes. The interaction between the archwire and the brackets (and sometimes additional components like ligatures or self-ligating brackets) guides the teeth into their new positions.
