Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the indications for use for Transbond™ IDB Pre-Mix Chemical Cure Adhesive?
Transbond™ IDB Pre-Mix Chemical Cure Adhesive is intended to be an indirect bonding adhesive for the
Incognito™ Appliance System and can also be used for indirect bonding of labial brackets with custom bases
delivered to the patient in a custom tray.
2. Can Transbond IDB Chemical Cure Adhesive be used in direct bonding techniques?
Transbond IDB Pre-Mix Chemical Cure Adhesive is indicated for indirect bonding only. The low viscosity of
the adhesive does not allow sufficient bracket stability for standard direct bonding techniques.
3. Is the color of the Transbond IDB Pre-Mix Chemical Cure Adhesive more aesthetic than Reliance
Maximum Cure® Sealant?

Cure Sealant?
The bond strength of Transbond IDB Adhesive is equivalent to Reliance Maximum Cure Sealant in labial
indirect bonding applications.
10. How long should the tray be held in the mouth?
The tray should be held firmly in position in the mouth for 3 minutes. The tray should remain seated for a total of
