Abstract:
A pocket orthodontic bonding pad for attaching orthodontic attachments to teeth wherein the orthodontic attachment is mechanically secured within a bonding pad pocket with a design that allows a slight buffering flexibility under masticatory stress and ease of removal of the orthodontic attachment. Upon removal of locking tabs the orthodontic attachment may be removed with minimal force, and the remaining bonding pad polished from the teeth with ease, which is most advantageous for brackets that tend to break upon removal and create high stress forces upon tooth structure. The ease of removing orthodontic attachments allows maximum bonding strengths.

Claim (Index 1):
An orthodontic bonding pad, comprising:\n a four-sided pad with a top occlusal side, a bottom gingival side, left and right sides, and front and back sides; a bonding surface on the back of the four-sided pad wherein the bonding surface is irregular in order to enhance the bonding strength to the enamel surface of a tooth; a stem attached to the front of the four-sided pad; a head attached to the end of the stem opposite the end of the stem attached to the front of the four-sided pad with top occlusal and bottom gingival and left and right sides, the head shaped to fit the retentive aspects of an orthodontic attachment and wherein the head may be removed from the retentive aspects of an orthodontic attachment on a top occlusal side of an orthodontic attachment with minimal pressure; and a protruding surface attached to the top occlusal side of the four-sided pad, the protruding surface protruding labially, wherein upon receiving the head into the retentive aspects of an orthodontic attachment, the protruding surface prevents removal of the orthodontic attachment until after the protruding surface or one of the retentive aspects of the orthodontic attachment is removed; wherein the orthodontic bonding pad comprises a shape comprising specific occlusal-gingival, mesial-distal, and lingual-labial dimensions, such that the bonding surface cooperatively engages dental anatomical contours of enamel of an individual patient's individual tooth, and the orthodontic attachment is positioned at a specific, pre-determined occlusal-gingival, mesial-distal, lingual-labial position and torque when the orthodontic attachment receives the head of the orthodontic bonding pad.
