Typical curing times include:

• Ceramic brackets: Approximately 3 seconds
• Metal brackets: Approximately 6 seconds

This rapid curing capability helps reduce total bonding time while improving patient comfort and clinical workflow.

Black-Coated Design for Enhanced Visibility

The specialised black coating prevents unnecessary light emission around the operatory by directing the blue curing light precisely into the oral cavity.

Benefits include:

• Reduced operator eye strain
• Improved curing accuracy
• Better visual control
• Enhanced clinical safety

Magnetic Quick-Connect System

The light guide features a magnetic attachment mechanism that allows clinicians to:

• Attach quickly
• Remove easily
• Reposition effortlessly

This simplifies cleaning, maintenance, and replacement while ensuring secure operation during clinical procedures.

Durable Clinical Construction

Designed for everyday orthodontic practice, the genuine 3M™ replacement light guide offers excellent durability and long service life.

Its smooth exterior is easy to clean and disinfect, supporting efficient infection control protocols in busy dental clinics.
