Bonded attachments with Neo Spectra® ST universal composite restorative for SureSmile® Clear Aligners
Attachments are small tooth-colored structures that are bonded to teeth using dental composites. They help aligners grip the teeth and guide them to their new locations.
Neo Spectra® ST universal composite is an excellent option to give your clear aligner patients bonded attachments that are durable, look natural and resist staining. For best durability, universal composites are recommended over flowable composites.
