Usage Instructions:

1. Prepare a mix of 28 ml water with 100 g of orthodontic-base powder.
2. Stir the mixture mechanically for 30 seconds to ensure a lump-free consistency.
3. The plaster remains moldable for about 7-8 minutes, allowing detailed work without haste.
4. The setting time is approximately 13-14 minutes, after which the model can be further processed.
5. Post setting, the plaster exhibits high hardness and compressive strength, ideal for orthodontic purposes.

orthodontic-base is the go-to material for orthodontists demanding a balance between workability and performance in model creation and repair tasks.
