A User’s Guide to Indirect Bonding

Essential for indirect orthodontic bonding, Emiluma and Lumaloc are made of a transparent silicone that allows quick and precise delivery to the arch.

Emiluma is soft enough to remove indirect trays without debonding brackets yet firm enough to maintain accurate bracket positioning. Lumaloc cures stiff to ensure proper tray fit and precise bracket placement, yet it’s still easy to shape, mold, and trim.
