Clinical Overview
GC Aligner Connect™ is a purpose-built, light-cured adhesive designed specifically for orthodontic aligner attachments. Its enamel-like optical properties preserve the aesthetic quality of clear aligner treatment, while delivering durable bond strength and reliable retention throughout the treatment cycle.
Key Benefits
- Enamel-mimicking shade: optical properties closely match natural enamel, maintaining aesthetic clarity.
- High retention & wear resistance: formulated to resist detachment under long-term aligner use.
- Optimal handling: thixotropic paste consistency enables precise placement; slightly fluid when vibrated.
- Effective cure through trays: achieves full cure (>1 200 mW/cm² LED) within 10 seconds—even through aligner tray material.
- Long-lasting gloss: withstands ≥12,000 brush strokes—equivalent to 1 year of brushing—without aesthetic degradation.
