GC Ortho Connect Flow, LC Adhesive for Lingual Retainers & Aligner Attachments, 2.7g, PK/2

Clinical Overview

GC Ortho Connect Flow is a single-step, light-cured adhesive formulated for bonding lingual retainers, wire stops, and aligner attachments. Featuring integrated primer and a long-chain monomer for enhanced flexibility and strength, this resin delivers efficient placement and reliable adhesion to both enamel and metal wires.

Key Benefits

• Single-step primer-in-paste: eliminates separate priming, reducing chair time and procedure steps.
• High flexibility and toughness: long-chain monomers improve shock resistance and fracture strength.
• Strong enamel and metal bonding: contains phosphate monomers that chemically adhere to retainers and wires without separate metal primer.
• Easy excess removal: excess resin fluoresces under black light, simplifying clean-up.

Kit Contents

• 2 × 2.7 g syringes GC Ortho Connect Flow
• 30 × disposable dispensing tips
• 2 × light-protective caps

Working & Setting Times

• Light cure: ~10 s per bond area with ≥ 700–1,200 mW/cm² LED

Indications

• Bonding fixed lingual retainers and wire stops
• Attaching aligner attachments/stops
• Precision bonding of metal components without additional primer

Instructions for Use

1. Clean and pumice enamel; rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Etch enamel for 30 s with phosphoric gel; rinse and dry.
3. Thread dispensing tip; gently express a bit to ensure prime.
4. Apply adhesive to enamel or wire according to attachment template.
5. Seat retainer, wire stop, or aligner; remove excess before curing.
6. Light‑cure each bond zone for ~10 s with LED ≥700 mW/cm² from multiple directions.
7. Remove excess resin—for improved visibility, use black light.
8. Isolate field (rubber dam recommended) and avoid eugenol-containing materials during bonding.

Summary

GC Ortho Connect Flow offers an efficient, single-step bonding solution for lingual retainers and aligner attachments, combining integrated primer, metal-ready adhesion, and flexible durability—with fast curing and straightforward cleanup under black light—enhancing both clinical workflow and patient outcomes.
