Accusecure—A Simplified Bonding Technique for Lingual Bonded Retainer
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Accusecure Technique is a simplified wax indexing method developed to enhance the precision and efficiency of bonding lingual retainers. By creating a negative imprint of the lingual tooth surfaces using a thin wax sheet, the technique enables accurate pre-positioning of the multistranded wire outside the oral cavity. Composite resin is applied within the wax indentations to secure the wire, which is then transferred intraorally and bonded in place using light curing. This approach minimizes operator variability, reduces chairside time, and improves the adaptation of the retainer wire to the tooth surfaces. The Accusecure Technique offers a reliable and reproducible alternative to conventional freehand bonding methods, making it a valuable addition to routine clinical orthodontic practice.
