Launched in August 2013 in Japan under the name of Universal Bond, GC has decided through GC Orthodontics to launch GC Ortho Connect on the European Orthodontic market.<\/p>\n

GC Ortho Connect is a new orthodontic light-cured adhesive for brackets and bondable buccal tubes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One-step system<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No need to apply primer or adhesive on the tooth, as it is already incorporated into the paste.<\/p>\n

A simple etching of the enamel followed by drying is enough to prepare the bracket or buccal tube for bonding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
