APC™ II Adhesive Coated Appliance System

Faster, more efficient bonding than any other system.

In 1991, 3M Unitek set the standard in orthodontic bonding efficiency with the introduction of APC™ Adhesive Coated Brackets. Fewer steps. Fewer bonding variables. Increased productivity.

Now, the innovative APC II System takes bonding ease and efficiency to the next level. A softer and more workable APC II adhesive. Dramatically easier etching/priming with Transbond™ Plus Self-Etching Primer. Faster curing with the Ortholux™ LED Curing Light. And more appliance types with adhesive precoating to match the orthodontist's preferences.

Now with a softer, more workable adhesive.
The APC II adhesive is lighter, less viscous than the original APC adhesive. Soft enough to assure accurate placement. Yet firm enough to virtually eliminate bracket drift and excessive flash. It's easier to use and still delivers consistently high bond strength.

Today's APC II System eliminates most bonding variables.
The APC II System is still the only orthodontic bonding system that precoats each bracket with adhesive. There's no mixing, no application, no opportunity to contaminate the base.

Less Waste and Clean-up.
The APC II System, gives your staff a break every day. No messy mixing. No bracket handling problems with each individual bracket clearly identified and pre-oriented on a special foam liner that virtually eliminates bracket rotation in transit. No wasted time getting to chair side.

Fewer steps, less time with the APC™ II System

Dispensing System
Each APC II adhesive coated bracket comes in an individual color-coded well for easy identification. A tamper-evident heat seal ensures a 3-year shelf-life. A compact dispensing system allows storage of up to 20 cases of brackets by slot size, tooth and prescription. A convenient patient set up tray allows you to transfer exactly what is needed to chairside.
