APC™ PLUS Adhesive Coated Appliance System
3M Adhesive Innovation has taken the orthodontic bonding process to the next level for doctors. The APC™ PLUS Adhesive Coated Appliance System requires fewer steps to completion, meaning faster results, greater efficiencies, fewer opportunities for error, and an enhanced patient experience.
The adhesive starts in the pink, which helps the visual reference of the bracket and the clean up of flash, and then fades to clear when exposed to light. It is moisture-tolerant and delivers uncompromising bond strength.
The APC PLUS Adhesive System provides:
- Color change adhesive
- Uniform coating of adhesive on each bracket allowing for easier flash clean up
- Moisture tolerant adhesive
- Release of a small amount of fluoride for enhanced patient confidence
Single use, easy-to-place brackets, pre-coated with quality 3M adhesive that releases fluoride and tolerates moisture, arrive individually packaged with a tamper-evident lid. That's the APC PLUS Adhesive Coated Appliance System.

APC PLUS Adhesive with color change adhesive is available on all 3M Unitek brackets and buccal tubes, including Clarity™ Ceramic Brackets and SmartClip™ Self-Ligating Brackets.
