To place dental braces the operating field must first be well isolated, all dental surfaces must be thoroughly dried before starting to apply the enamel decalcifier so that it is clean when segmenting the bracket.

After ten seconds with the decalcifier on the enamel surface, we apply and rinse and dry the entire surface before applying the adhesive.

Then we apply the adhesive, which is nothing more than the material that will facilitate the union between the bracket and the enamel. We place the adhesive and light-cure it, always making sure that the surfaces are dry, without saliva or moisture so that they adhere well.

Once we have applied the adhesive and light-cured, we proceed to cement the brackets with the resin that comes on the back of the bracket.

We begin placing the brackets very carefully in the center of the clinical crown of each of the teeth. It is very important that the brackets are placed in the center of the tooth axis in order to achieve the desired movements.

If we want to make a movement with a specific tooth (such as egression or ingression), the bracket is placed a little more towards the incisal or gingival edge, but only in very specific cases, since in most cases it is placed in the center of the clinical crown of the tooth.

Once we have cemented all the brackets, we correct and remove all the excess. Once we are sure that we have them all in the correct position, we proceed to light cure with the light curing lamp. Then we proceed to the placement of the arch. It is very important to know the type of arch that will be used to achieve certain movements, such as niti-type arches that help us expand and thermo-activated arches that act on thermal changes, such as when eating cold foods or depending on the temperature of the mouth, with which the arch contracts or expands and thus always remains active.
