anyone else have their braces put on via Indirect Bonding?

just curious if anyone else has had their braces put on via indirect bonding?

this is how i had my brackets bonded on and its was so quick and easy i loved it! i had never heard of it before nor seen it and I've never met anyone else who had their brackets bonded on this way so I'm just curious if there is anyone else out there to experience it. Im assuming its a fairly new method of bonding brackets as my ortho uses very up to date advanced methods and tools for everything. my fiancé was super jealous that my braces were not only clear but put on within minutes compared to having to sit and have each one places one by one like he did which i know can take forever..its amazing how far dentistry and orthodontics have come in the last ten years!

I'm getting it done in a little over two weeks! My ortho didn't give me an option, I guess he pretty much always does indirect bonding. I have to wait a lot longer than normal bonding (I can't believe some people get their braces the same day they get their records done!) and is more expensive, but I'm hoping the quick application time will make it worth it! Apparently it's also more accurate when they do it this way since the brackets are already set precisely into place in a mold so the ortho doesn't have to place each one by hand.

I think it's pretty normal... easier on you, and saves the ortho a lot of time. All it costs the ortho is a sheet of molding material like the kind they use for bleach trays.

really i wonder why its more expensive for you? mine didn't cost any extra! and i got mine the day after my records it was great i loved no wait time to have anxieties about the whole process. the applications time was five minutes for mine not including getting any extra glue removed from between teeth and have the wire and ligatures installed.youll love how fast it goes my appointments took at most 30 minutes, which was a super pleasant surprise considering i expected it to be much longer!
