BeautyOrtho Bond, known as BOB from Shofu is the first of a new generation of bonding agents developed specifically for bonding orthodontic brackets. Pre-etching, with the ultimate demineralisation of the tooth structure, is not necessary with BeautyOrtho Bond as the primer is made up of 6-MHP - which chemically adheres to the enamel.
BOB is a simple and quick to use system providing good handling properties and easy debonding at the end of treatment without damaging the tooth structure. The S-PEG filler component of BOB releases fluoride on a continuous basis, meaning that the material is constantly re-charged providing ultimate protection for the teeth (as with gics).
