How long does it take to glue on(bond) the braces and remove (de-bond) them?
Bonding appointments for brackets are usually 45 minutes. This includes bracket placement, and arch wire insertion. An additional 15-20 minutes are spent on oral hygiene instruction. Removing (debonding) the brackets and wire is much easier and only takes a couple of minutes, after which the residual glue is removed and the teeth polished.
